A Crafty Soiree #77

Last week's party had over 325 beautiful projects!  I have so much craft envy after seeing what you're all up too.  Seriously, bloggers are among the most talented people, don't you think?  Here's what caught my eye, all with a Valentine's theme, of course ♥

Isn't this button burlap heart from Southern Lovely striking?  It's so bold and graphic and has all that fun texture!  I need something bigger like this for my mantle, gonna have to pin this for next year!

Don't these chocolate cake waffles look yummy?  Great idea from Crafting and Creativity to start the love early in the day!  I think even I can pull these off, the secret ingredient is a box cake!

When I first saw the Valentine Topiary/Kissing Ball at The Brown Eyes Have It, I thought she had pinned little flowers to a styrofoam ball.  Turns out she made each one out of crepe paper, pretty fabulous isn't it?  It's so pretty there's no way I'd put it away after the 14th, that would be out all spring...and possibly summer too!

At the afternoon art camp at Mollie's Mom's house the group made these super cute Valentine Hearts and Ice Cream Wooden Boards.  I'm always looking for things ER can do with her little friends and as they get older it's been harder for me to think of things, love this!  Can't wait to make it with ER!

 

I got so excited when I saw these paper plate baskets at Shaken Together.  They look great and I love a project made out of supplies I almost always have on hand.  It would be so easy to switch it up for another holiday just be switching the conversation heart to another holiday icon.
