Sometimes you want to decorate for an upcoming holiday, but you might not care for the traditional color associated with it. That is how I feel about the color Red.
I am much more of a blue and gray and black and green and purple girl.
I mean, Red is fine. In fact, I decorated the front porch with some red for the Christmas holiday. It is just not my favorite color. I did want to decorate a bit for the Valentine holiday coming up. But I didn’t want to use a lot of Red. Here a few simple items I used to show the feeling of the holiday, and that had a little bit of red color too.
Ampersands, I love them. They connect You & Me. I love the way all of these galvanized ones look together. I made the you and me arrow art with craft shapes from Michaels and scrap book paper.
A Rae Dunn plate that says Love in red. And a small spool of bakers twine in Red and white. Quick simple, and can be used over and over with different color stories.
A small cutting board with a heart from the Dollar spot at Target. And a spool of red twine.
A small wood slice with a heart. And a gold metal “love” sign- again from the dollar spot at Target.
In the lower right hand side you can see another “you & me” craft shape. This one I just placed on the lip of the picture frame.
Its not all red hearts, or cupids, or flowers. But I think it still says love and Valentines!
What cute and simple ways have you added a little love to your Valentines decor?
