Hello there!
Happy Saturday.
The sun is shining and it’s going to be a great day!
Today I am sharing a Valentine’s craft with mod podge, stencils and dollar tree decor.
So I have to admit, I was a little excited to share this Valentine craft with you all.
I know, we are still more than a month out and here I go rushing things along again.
I don’t mean to.
It’s the stores fault, not mine.
The Valentine’s Dollar tree party will be here before you know it.
Therefore, I want to inspire you with some ideas in the meantime!
Don’t you just love these pretty heart table scatters?
They come in packs of red and pinks
Not sure how or why this little project popped in my head.
I am sure it is not an original, because as we are aware….
nothing usually is….
However, I will tell you, I have not seen anything exactly like it, so it is a Debbiedoo’s original.
I have seen stenciling done on a plate before.
{stencils came from Walmart} they are the peel and stick kind.
The quote on the plate
well,
we have all said that before haven’t we?
Did I mention I love these hearts?
I may have to go back and get more.
The cute glass is also from the Dollar tree
last season.
“My plate is full”
and you can understand why.
These guys totally fill my heart, fill my life and fulfilled every dream a girl could ever wish for.
{totally mushy, I know, but oh so very true}
The END…..
XO
P.S. The mod podge was still wet when I took these photos…I told you I was excited.
Here is a sneak peek at some Dollar tree cupcake liner carnations.
Full tut and reveal coming soon…so bookmark Debbiedoo’s and come back for more inspired Dollar tree Valentine’s ideas and the upcoming party for inspiration.

Very cute, Debbie.
Cute! and I love those hearts!
Hi Deb!
Love your little heart scatters and the plate…how special! Such a GREAT idea!
Hope your weekend is wonderful!
Cindy
😀 My sentiments, exactly…and those little hearts are *so* darling!!!
I need to go to the dollar tree…….
this is the cutest ever i would for sure say it has your name all over it 🙂
I’m already thinking about Valentine’s Day too and you know I’m not normally one to rush things! January just needs a little pink and red to get rid of the post-Christmas doldrums.
you’ve got some sweet guys, love the stencils on the plate idea!!
cute idea Deb..
Cute Debbie, you are way ahead of me. I am still trying to get over Christmas. LOL
I love the pictures on the plate! And the stencil makes it perfect.
Debbie 🙂
This is SO cute! I’ve been looking at those hearts and trying to think what to do with them other than put them in a jar — this is a really clever way to use them! And YOU are not rushing the holiday . . . I decorated for Valentine’s Day on Jan. 1 after I took down all the Christmas decorations!
beautiful, Hugs
Too old? That’s silly, you’re never too old! Super cute craft 🙂
What a pretty, pretty idea! I love your words and the little hearts are so cute. Great inspiration, Debbie!
Love the hearts and the plate with stenciling is very, very cute! But I went by the Dollartree in my area and somebody forgot to stock it with valentines stuff other than candy. I certainly hope they get their act together cause I can’t wait to get started!
Oh Debbie, it is a sweet, sweet idea!
Carol
Cute, cute! I love the little hearts too.

What a sweetheart of a project, Debbie! I really like how you stenciled the plate, but I love how you used the photos of “your guys” in the middle. Totally perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Hi Debbie
Originally found you on Rate My Space — Finally decided to come out of the shadows and comment on your creativity. You really do have an eye for color and placement. I have always enjoyed your ideas. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Missy, I am so glad you stopped by. I appreciate your kind words.
Debbie,
I love this. I love the picture of your sweeties and how you stenciled the plate. I am going to try this. Love it.
Kris
Oh I love this! I don’t think you are rushing things too much. People need to be able to see this stuff early in case they want to copy it!!! The little hearts are adorable. Enjoy the rest of your weekend…Ann
Totally love it, Debbie…every. single. detail!
Fantastic Debbie!!!…Your plate is certainly full of “loved ones”….
I have NEVER seen anything like this! It is so sweet! What a precious piece! XOXO! Rebecca
Oh that is so cute! And sweet!
Debbie, This is soooooo sweet. Your boys, all three, are very special and I know they bring joy to your life daily. Give them big hugs tomorrow and tell them I said, “HI”!
Love to all, Ginger
Doggone I saw those little hearts tonight and didn’t get them as I couldn’t think what to do with them besides putting then in a jar or a bottle. By the time I get back to $tree they’ll be gone as there weren’t that many of them. Shoot. What good does 2nd. guessing do?
Now that I’m an old lady (72 1/2), I am wishing so many times, after seeing you young gals with your kids and your lives ahead of you, that I could start again with my kids. I’d be a very different kind of mother I think. I was very much influenced by an older generation, constantly told how I was doing things wrong, how that older generation thought I’d “better” and “should” do things with my kids (4 of them). My” kids” are now 52, 50, 48, 42 (last one from 2nd. marriage). That’s why we’re called the sandwich generation.
They’re all finding out what it’s like to raise children, without comments from Mom and Dad. They’ve all done a pretty darned good job from what we can see as the grand kids (6) are all good kids, nobody in trouble, do well in school, etc. Just an observation from a different generation. I applaud all of you. It’s not easy raising kids in any time. Enjoy every minute with them even when they’re being obnoxious, lol. Happy 2013 Debbie and family
I appreciate that…and certainly will take that advise. We love being with our boys every chance they let us. Thanks for stopping by.
This is so sweet and very cute, Debbie! Mushy, maybe, but absolutely sweet!
Debbie, such a cute idea. Do you ever sleep?..Happy New Year..Judy
Oh I LOVE this idea!! I was just in our $store and wow!! the valentines season
is in full swing….
Must check out Walmart for those stencils.
yep.we love our boys don’t we!? so sweet Debbie!! Love the sentiment. Shan
So cute! I think my 1st crafty project of 2013 is going to be a Valentine Wreath for my front door!
What a beautiful Valentine’s Day plate, Debbie. I can’t wait to see the carnations as well!
how fun! hope to join the party. I knew it was time to get to my Dollar Tree.
