Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I had better get crafting! I am joining the Craft & Create with Cricut Challenge with a few of my Cricut-loving blogging friends to bring you Valentine's Day inspired crafts. Each month we will bring you a different themed craft using the Cricut, so make sure you subscribe to my email so you don't miss any of these crafts!

As a reminder to celebrate love and marriage throughout the year, I am using my Cricut to personalize heart shaped wooden trays with quotes from one of my favorite movies, The Princess Bride. First off, if you have not seen this movie, put it on your watch next list! There were so many great quotes, that I had trouble picking my three favorites. OK, enough about the movie, let's get started on the craft.

How To Add Valentine's Decor To an Entryway

I am partnering with Oriental Trading to bring you ideas for affordable Valentine's decor. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Now that Christmas is over and I have taken down all the decorations, the house looks so bare. I decided to add a little bit of cheer back into my entry way with some Valentine's decor. We have been enjoying our recently completed mudroom space, so I thought it would be the perfect place to add some pops of red and gold.

Valentine's Date Night Box

My husband and I do not like to buy each other extravagant gifts for Valentine's Day, so I came up with the idea to make a Valentine's Date Night Box that contains ideas of fun things we can do together. Each month, we can have a surprise date night by picking one of the ideas from the box!

I have long been a fan of Oriental Trading company since I work in children's ministry at my church and have used many of their crafts and gifts over the years. They have a wide selection of items for every holiday, including Valentine's Day. I am excited to be partnering with Oriental Trading to share a tutorial on how to create an easy DIY Valentine's Date Night Box!

Tulle Skirt 2 Ways

The tulle skirt is the latest trend and it can be dressed up with heels and a blouse or dressed down with a plaid shirt and boots. The tulle skirt is also the perfect statement piece for a Valentine's Day outfit and I am sharing two ways to style it!

Whether you live in a cold climate or a warmer one, I have put together 2 different looks, featuring a tulle skirt, that is sure to "Wow" your Valentine's date.

DIY Valentine's Garland

We all have a ton of craft supplies laying around that we were going to make something with, but never got around too, right? I am joining a group of bloggers for a Crafty De-stash Challenge, where we were challenged to create a project using only supplies we had on hand. Over Christmas break, I organized my craft supplies and realized I had a ton of card stock and washi tape that I needed to use, so I decided to make a DIY Valentine's Garland.

You may remember last month I created a Christmas card holder from a wooden frame and wire. This month I am showing you how to style it for Valentine's Day by creating heart shaped garland using some of my craft supplies.

Valentine's Gift Baskets

I am excited to share with you some ideas for Valentine's Day gift baskets.  A special thanks to Family Christian for sponsoring this post!

Valentine's Day is a holiday that people either love or hate depending on their circumstances.  We usually do not make a big deal about it in our house since we make it a goal to try to show love daily to each other with words, acts of service, or little gifts.  I feel like it can be a hard time of year for those who have lost their significant other, so this year, I wanted to pick a couple of senior aged people to bless.  I have had a couple of specific church members on my heart lately who I know are lonely and have also been under the weather.  With Valentine's Day coming up, I knew this was my opportunity to spread some love and bless two sweet friends.

Here is how I created two Valentine themed gift baskets
