Valentine's Day Sewn Framed Art

Hello bloggy friends.  Boy, time flies when you're almost 40.  Valentine's Day snuck up on me...again.  I've been seeing some really cute crafty stuff floating around on everyone's blogs and I finally decided I needed to get something cute made up before Valentine's Day is OVER.  Since my sewing machine is sort of fixed, I decided to try my hand at something new.  I wanted something out of the quote, "All you need is love" or what that be considred a lyric?  Either way, I wanted the "All you need is....." printed and the "LOVE" to be appliqued.  I thought I would NEVER figure it out.  I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to this computer stuff, but I finally got it right, or at least right enough. 

I started in Microsoft Word and typed up "All you need is...." and copied it to Photobucket.  Then I used a few of their editing tools to make a mirror image of it and printed it off onto these...

I cut it out and ironed it on to a piece of white fabric.  Then, using Word again, I typed the word "LOVE" in a different font and traced it right off the screen (don't tell Hubby).  Then I traced it onto my heat and bond, ironed it on my favorite fabric, cut out the fabric and ironed it on my piece of white fabric.

 and zig zag stitched around it, in red of course.  Does any of that make sense?  Then I framed it in a $3.00 frame from Wal-Mart. 

So, what do ya think?  Easy custom Valentine's art.  I had everything except the frame so this was a $3.00 project.  Love that!

Have a great day bloggy friends!
