| Framed Tile with Art! |
Since I had managed to clean up the hall closet (unrecognizable, my daughter was surprised to see carpet on the floor) AND my car… I decide to treat myself to some non-commissioned art making! For this canvas I wanted to use Valentines Day as my inspiration going with the candy colored reds and pinks. I also wanted to use an inspirational quote: “Love Makes Life Beautiful” I had a lot of fun creating the 8×8″ canvas using collage elements, and 3-d beads!

Better than a Valentines Day card, this love note is a work of art! Inspirational quotes with art that comes straight from the heart! This pink and red mixed media original art on canvas has flowers with beaded jeweled centers. The colorful collage art painting has three patterned flowers and music notes around the border.

This makes a creative gift for women of all ages whether for a sophisticated nursery room, cottage chic or boho decor. ( I used Tim Holt’z washi tissue tape for the border, Thanks Tim!)

| I love you to bits, mini quote on canvas |
The 8×8″ canvas came together fairly quickly because I had already experimented with my small 4×4″ canvases. The cute mini mixed media original art on canvas has purple and pink flowers with beaded jeweled centers and chevron stems. The art reads ” I Love you to bits” making it great for Valentine’s day or another special occasion. The colorful collage art painting has a bright chartreuse green glittery butterfly and a chartreuse green ribbon to hang it on a wall or from a kitchen cabinet knob or a dresser knob. The petite size also makes a great desk ornament.

I did a series of these 4×4″ canvases so you can pick your favorite or if you have more than one Valentine to send it to, I’ve got you covered!
I looked around etsy to see what other crafters came up with for their “love notes” Here is a treasury of some of my favorites.
What do YOU like to give for Valentines Day to someone you love?

| Handmade with love! (on @etsy, of course!) |
funny, because valentines day is the one holiday in my family NOT overshadowed by birthdays! December is birthday month!
I agree, but do you think they have to give something they made themselves or can it be made by someone else?
These are gorgeous Valentine pieces and they do look like they were made in a carefree spirit…so fun!
Valentines Day has always been overshadowed by our youngest son's birthday.
Your Love Makes Life Beautiful piece is beautiful! I always try to Pick something that is meaningful in some way…or make something that I know the person will love. The last couple Valentine's Days our gift to each other is an evening out which is such a treat with our schedules and the kid's schedules. Thanks so much for including my card in your gorgeous collection!
Beautiful! Handmade is the way to go for Valentine's day! Show your love by giving something made with love!
