I have been working on this project for FOREVER, and finally finished it. Yay!!!!!
Since I just got a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas, I thought it was about time to use it. And of course, learning how takes some time! So far, I have made a few boxes and hearts and one banner with it. {And a whole ton of experiments that I won't show here!! HA!}
I am by NO means an expert yet, but at least I'm having fun!
Back at Christmas time, I had so much fun making an Advent Ladder. And I thought it would be fun to update it for Valentine's Day.
I used my new favorite color combo, turquoise/red/gray. {grin}
I painted the ladder a gorgeous Westcott Navy {dark gray} and hung some fun hearts/ornaments from it with some different colored baker's twine.
Ally and I made the red hearts out of a salt dough ornament recipe. Then we painted them red and hung 'em up!
I also made some pretty rosettes out of turquoise polka dot paper. I just LOVE 'em!!
And I really like the final results. This ladder may have to stay for awhile even past Valentine's Day. hehe
{Pardon ALL of the pictures, I just couldn't help myself!}
Don't ya love it? I sure do and hope you enjoyed looking at it. Have a lovely day!

Oh I love ladders! They are so unexpected & inexpensive & look like they'd be so fun to decorate! I love all of your little ornaments on yours & the colors you chose!
Great colors! Love how it's not too traditional!
