The jumping-off point for me was when I found an out-of-date globe at the thrift store. I painted it with chalkboard spray paint, and wrote “Love makes the world go round” on it. I wish I was one of those people who had beautiful handwriting (especially on a chalkboard)—but alas, it is not one of my gifts!
I covered five balls with strips of maps cut out of an old atlas I found at a garage sale. They make interesting little globes, as long as you don’t expect them to be geographically accurate!
Using my Silhouette, I cut out a bunch of hearts from the same old atlas, and sewed them together to make a banner.
Other map hearts were sewn together in pairs, then folded to make a 3D “ornament” for my twigs leftover from the funky twiggy garland I made for Christmas.
My other globe got to join the display, with a few more map spheres.
I tried to go along with the ‘theme” by writing, “The best place to be is wherever YOU are” for my family. Quite frankly, I don’t think they ‘got’ it!
So I have to ask…do you ‘get’ the theme?
Maybe it only makes sense in MY head!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I get it and I think you are a genius! I love seeing what you create. I adore maps and globes, so I think your vignette is perfection!
Hugs, Cindy
I get it. Very cute and original. I think your family is probably just thinking about the chocolate...that's all mine thinks about for V-day.
They'll get it one day.
PRETTY!!! I am a fan of all things map & Vaentine's Day so this is perfect for me!
I really like your heart bunting, so pretty, Korrie.
Oh course we get this!! Cute stuff! I got a Silhouette for Christmas and still haven't figured out how to use it!!! lol I sat down a few days ago and tried. Even called in to ask a few questions. It's one of those things that is suppose to save time, but it take too much time to learn how to use it!!! LOL
Oh that heart banner is totally calling my name! Your buffet always looks so cute Korrie! I get it and I love it!
Super cute "worldly" vignette! I absolutely LOVE the chalkboard painted globe!
I 'get' it. Valentines is so fun to decorate for. The chalkboard globe is awesome, great idea!!
I get it! My family probably wouldn't get it either. And my printing and handwriting sucks too, on chalkboards, or anything else!
I have an old globe. Making note......

I get the theme, and I love it! It's so much more sophisticated than pink and red glittery hearts.
I get it and I love it, very clever! I love the way all the pieces fit your theme.
I love it. Love all the globes. Very clever to make the small globes with strips from the old atlas. :)

How creative! I love it! I get the theme. Its clever
Love the heart bunting... i was thinking of making something similar with newspapers..
I could kick myself. A few years ago two different people offered me old windows when they were remodeling. I see your beautiful window and garland and I could have done something really cute. I hope I have a next time so I can make a fun display.
I love globes and maps, and these are great ideas. :) Thank you for sharing!
those hearts are charming!
I love this!!! Already your fan but hopping over from the Love theme party @ CSI. Have a great week :)
