Check out what I did...

One of the MANY blogs I follow is eighting25. These ladies have some GREAT ideas, printables, & decor. If you have not checked them out, you should take a minute to do so.

My favorite item of theirs is their holiday Subway art.


I like using these both at home & at work. For their Christmas Subway art, I just printed it up and posted it outside my door. It felt like it was missing something. However, I did not dare put it in a frame because I was afraid that it would fall, the glass & frame would shatter and some student would get hurt.

So for my Valentines subway art I framed it with some CTP bulletin-board boarder. While I LOVE this boarder, I was wondering if I over did it, or if it looks a bit cheesy?

Please tell me what you think. Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve it? How would you do it differently?

    It is a little cheesy but Valentine's is that kind of day! I think it is really cute and perfect! Good job!

    Thanks for your inspirational post. I have been snowed in for four days and managed to make it to a store yesterday and was able to make one of the crafts on eighing 25. I printed the page to do the subway art and hopefully things will clear up tomorrow so I can get more supplies.

    Thanks you ladies. I will have to post my decorations more often. Right now it looks as if Valentines have exploded all over my little room. It is a bit much for me but the kids are in love. They don't stop commenting how beautiful it all is. So I leave it up for them.
