Earlier this year I watched Rudolph's Shiny New Year for the first time - overall it was a bit weird and hard to follow, but the opening credit sequence (start watching the link above at the 2:03 mark) was really cute and inspiring. It's actually what inspired these majorette style party hats! See the full tutorial on Oh Happy Day.

Song of the Sea: Art & Garlands
Ever since I saw it last week, I've been obsessed with the animated film Song of the Sea. It is so beautifully animated, it took my breath away. The story, characters, and soundtrack are just as beautiful and I left the theatre feeling so inspired and full of love and magic. I love that it continues to inspire my ideas for design and craft projects - I just can't get it out of my brain. Please go see it if you haven't already!
When I'm not daydreaming about Song of the Sea, I've been busy apartment hunting and imagining each place furnished with our belongings. To keep track of dreamy DIY projects, furniture, and art I usually pin my inspiration to the Pinterest board I call live.
I recently discovered that Minted has the most amazing selection of art; it's so easy to browse - you can sort by shape, size, style, and colour to find the perfect piece. You can even arrange your favourites into gallery wall style boards! I've named my board above Song of the Sea as a tribute to the film. I loved browsing through all the artists' work and gathering a small collection of art that makes me so happy and inspired.
Once we decide on an apartment and settle in, I can't wait to put a gallery wall together. In the mean time though, I've made this simple garland inspired by my Song of the Sea board on Minted. Click through to see the full instructions.

Valentine Arrow Game
I've had these mini clothespins for a long time but only now am I finding a way to use them! If you're having a Valentine's Day party this weekend and need an activity, whip up these little guys following the instructions over on Oh Happy Day.
Valentine Ribbon Treats
I am a sucker for anything I can make into a badge/ribbon. I even have a full board of them on Pinterest! Take a look at these Valentine badges I made over at Oh Happy Day.

Rock and Mineral Cookies
My dad has always collected rocks, so his collection is what inspired these DIY rock and mineral cookies. If you love browsing the bulk candy store as much as I do, this craft is perfect for you. Check out the full post over on Oh Happy Day.
