Love You

8 years ago today my hubby and I said “I do.” I love him dearly but he is the hardest guy in the world to buy gifts for. And lately, we’ve really scaled back on the gifts in favor of getting out more, splurging on sitters, and well, paying bills of course. So, this year I thought I’d make a cute framed sign for our bedroom and found a cute saying on Pinterest I liked.

I am sharing the printable with you, here. But, you’ll need to do a few more things to get a similar look. First, I printed onto a cute piece of chevron scrapbook paper. But, you can use whatever paper you love and works with your room. (Because most scrapbook paper comes in a 12” x 12” size you will need to trim it to a 8.5 x 11 before putting it through the printer, but other than that mine printed up just great!) And then I’ve cut a shiny red paper heart using a heart punch and a shopping bag (American Girl). I have mentioned this before, but shopping bags make great crafting paper and I love upcycling the bags in that way. Then, I’ve cut the sheets to size and put them into this shiny black frame.

And voila! A special, almost free way to say “I love you” to that really hard to buy for guy in your life!
