Valentine's Day gift tags with 3D hearts

Valentine's Day is coming exactly a month from now. This was never a date we celebrated that much at our house, and over the years, even when I decided I could do something for Valentine's, I always left things to the last minute and then ended up not having time.

But now the kids are older and they enjoy exchanging little Valentine's gifts at school so I braced myself and started early.

Welcome to The Really Crafty link Party #152!

Hello, and welcome to The Really Crafty Link Party #152 - come and share your projects, your ideas and what else is inspiring you this week. 

And as this is still a party, try to visit at least a couple of other links and spread the word on social media - the more, the merrier.

The linkup will be open until next Thursday and I will be posting the features on Friday, January 18th.

Did you miss last week's amazing features? Click the image below to check them out:

The Really Crafty Link Party is focused on crafts, so the idea is for you to link up all your crafty posts: DIYs, printables, home decor, tutorials, recipes, whatever you want to share. Feel free to add as many links as you want, and old posts are welcome too!

I have no problem if you want to add the same link in more than one week; it will still be eligible for a feature but please note that I will comment and add it to the Pinterest board only once.You can add posts on other subjects (family friendly please), but only craft related posts will have a chance to be featured and will be pinned to the party's Pinterest board.

If you host your own party, add it too - it may not be featured, but you'll be sharing it with all of us anyway, and everyone loves to discover new parties!

The Really Crafty Link Party #151 featured posts!

Hello and welcome. I hope you've all had a wonderful week, and a huge thank you to everyone who linked up and shared the party on social media. As it's Friday again (yay!), it's time to share The Really Crafty Link Party features.

So...scroll down to check out this week's amazing features!

Fun Money Games for Kids (free printables)

Saving money is one of the top ten of the most common New Years' resolutions. I've been looking through several surveys and apparently this seems to be a goal for about 30% to 40% of adults living in Europe and North America. And it's a great goal. I want to find ways to spend less too, to be more efficient while grocery shopping and to ramp up my reuse and upcycle efforts. But what about teaching our kids about money management too?

That many people this new year are resolving to be better with money makes total sense because it can be difficult to learn to budget and manage your own finances. But that's exactly why it’s important to keep in mind the benefits of giving your children a strong start with basic money managing skills - which is now made easier with some fun printable money games.

 

Upcylced: magazine cover to wall art

This was not intended to be my first project of the year, but when I received in the mail a promotional magazine from a cosmetics store with a beautiful cover, I knew I wanted to use it in some way.

As the theme seemed to perfectly match the concept of new year goals and all that, I turned it into a piece of wall art that now graces our home office.
