Coming up with fun, creative Valentines for my sweetie are always fun for me.  And now, with Pinterest, it's even easier!  Over Christmas, I pinned this mustache mug to make as a gift.  I never got around to it, but remembered it last week and thought adding a sweet set of red lips would make the perfect pair!

Thanks to my Silhouette, it was super easy!  Just purchased an image and cut it out of black and red vinyl.  We've had a blast using them!

A few years ago I made this for my hubby for Valentine's Day.  It was perfect because he LOVE Swedish Fish and I LOVE him.  We unfortunately ate all three pounds of Swedish Fish in a matter of a few days.  Whoops.

It's super easy to make.  I had this fish bowl shaped candy dish on hand, but it might be even more fun to go buy a NEW fishbowl at the pet store!

I dumped a large box of Nerd in the bottom to resemble fish gravel and then piled up the Swedish Fish!

The stickers were from Target's dollar sticker section (near the school supplies), so this all made for a cheap Valentine gift that my hubby LOVED.

Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest so you can see all the cool ideas and crafts I'm posting to my "Love Your Husband" board!  Great inspiration in there as well as book suggestions you all gave me on the Facebook page last week.

It's that time again!  I've been waiting all month to announce Pinterest Challenge Round FIVE!

If this is your first time playing along, click here to read about how The Pinterest Challenge got started. 

The party starts here this month!  At the bottom of this post will be your link party to link up your Pinterest inspired projects!  But, we will be partying all week long.  Just check out the sneak peeks from our Pinheads:

And did you see who the Guest Pinhead is this month?!

Bev from Flamingo Toes!  This girl totally rocks.  Seriously.  She has an amazing link party of her own on Sundays, has over 1200 pins on Pinterest, and was just featured in a real life magazine - TWICE.  And wait until you see the project she completed for the Pinterest Challenge.

Here's the schedule for the week:
Today: Start linking up your Pinterest Inspired Projects (link party will be open until midnight on Sunday).
Tuesday: Check out our Guest Pinhead, Bev @ Flamingo Toes and see her Pinterest Piece!

Thursday: Winner announced!


Want to see what the winner will win?
{PS - the votes are going to be hidden this time around.  So you won't know how many votes you have until Thursday when the winner is announced.  Much more anticipation that way!}

 A custom yarn wreath from Chrissy @ Simply Created.

I have one of her custom wreaths and it is simply stunning.

And a $20 Gift Certificate to Elle Dee Designs {to be used within 30 days}.

Now for the Party Rules:
1.  Link up ANY Pinterest Inspired project you completed in the last 4 weeks (and giving credit to the original Pinterest source is just good etiquette).
2.  You can link up to 5 different projects.  (If you don't have a blog, email a Pinhead your pictures and a description and she will send you back a link to link up)
3.  Please go back and edit your posts to include the Pinterest Challenge button on each entry.
