Note from Lindsay: I’d like to welcome Lindsay (there are two of us now!) from The White Buffalo Styling Co. as a new contributor to Makely!  Lindsay is one of those gals that has such a relaxed, yet stylish vibe that I feel like her work should be in shelter magazines.  I met her at a blogging conference last year and have been stalking her ever sense then.  I am incredibly excited to have her on board, and I can’t wait to see what she shares with us each month.  Welcome, Lindsay!

I am ecstatic to be a new contributor on Lindsay’s blog!  I first met Lindsay at Haven last year and immediately felt like I had a new, great friend.  Y’all, she’s so nice and seriously funny! I so admire her fearless style of decorating and liberal use of color.  I was thrilled when she asked me to join on as a regular contributor here.  Thanks so much for having me, Lindsay!

Now onto today’s tutorial: the easiest DIY Modern Valentine’s Art ever.
