Happy Valentine’s Day – almost!

I have been crafting away on these adorable Conversation Heart Magnets and Ladybug Magnets  for sale at my etsy shop at: http://www.sweetharvestonline.etsy.com/. My inspiration came from creating magnets for my family during the holidays with their faces. They turned out really cute! Now we have the entire family on the fridge!


I have since been rummaging around for old paper scraps and made some new designs seen below. These are very easy to create but the cabochons are difficult to locate in traditional store. I ended up finding a supplier online who had the 1 inch clear cabochons. You can make these using smaller cabs found at local craft stores – they are often used as decoration in vases and with candles but their clarity is not as brilliant and the size was not ideal.
