16 Days until Valentines Day!

Love is not proud, Love does not boast,

Love after all matters the most...
Love does not run, Love does not hide,

Love does not keep locked inside...
Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain, Love will provide, Love will not cease at the end of time

Love will protect, Love always hopes, Love still believes when you don’t
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you
When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this

Love is right here, Love is alive, Love is the way the truth the life...

Love is the river that flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you

-Brandon Heath-Love Never Fails

16 days until Valentine's Day!

Which means it's time to start making those beautiful home-made Valentines cards!

When it comes to making my Valentines cards I always like to incorporate a Bible verse on love.

It's a little reminder to everyone of the miraculous love that our Lord Jesus Christ has for us.

My Valentines cards this year are a bit time consuming but pretty easy non the less...

Scrap booking Paper

Glue

Scissors

Blank Card

Pen

Time: 10 to 20 minutes

Cut a strip of scrap booking paper like the picture above (which is the actual size of this strip of paper I will be making this heart from).

Don't feel like you have to measure anything, customize your hearts according to the way you think they should look.

I made mine all different sizes and lengths, this is the perfect craft to add your own unique style and personality too... :)

Fold in half and crease...

Open up your folded piece of paper and roll down one side of the "V"...

Roll down the other side of your

scrap booking paper...

Now that you have made your heart grab a bottle of glue and squirt some out on a plate and dip the back of your heart into the glue... remove and place on a card of your choosing in any fashion you so desire...

 I created three rows of four hearts like the picture below...

After gluing all your paper hearts you can write a verse, words, song lyrics, etc... under each

 heart like so...

(I used parts of 1 Corinthians 13)

Just remember, there is no wrong way to make this card. Add your own touch and make it special! Have fun and Happy Valentines Day! :)
