The hearts used for one of the banners in my Valentine's decor were cut from this cute paper by Little Yellow Bicycle. Then I sewed them together with my sewing machine-I just kept the pedal to the metal while quickly feeding the hearts through. I doubt my machine likes that! ;)
It was really simple and fast. You can also cut hearts from paper you have... I just liked the mix of patterns from the heart paper.
This photo was one of the first times I used Totally Rad Action's textures. I love how you can push a button to run the action then use the eraser tool in Photoshop (I use CS3) to erase where you don't want the texture. The action ran for this one was the Dirty Diana.
Loving the contrast of the soft focus, pretty colors with the rough texture.

THis might win for the dumbest question ever: How do you type a heart in your post title?

If you could take zero point five seconds out of your day to share, i would be forever grateful.

FUN stuff. we're snowed in here so it was a good excuse to PLAY!
LOVE this heart banner and the papers you used for it. I made one similar using red and white heart-shaped doilies. I'll be using it for my nieces bridal shower this weekend. :o)
GORGEOUS!
I love the Totally Rad Actions! I use them all the time. They have an amazing new texture package that i am coveting currently.
As always, love reading your blog!
I'm so feeling the need to make a banner now! I don't have a sewing machine (yet), so I'll have to get creative with twine and ribbon. Such a tasty project.
I heart this! You always do the cutest things!
