Last minute Valentine Cards!

Super last minute. I almost forgot that Boo had to take Valentines to school tomorrow! So late afternoon we were printing and cutting and signing but I think they turned out pretty cute!



Thank goodness for the Valentine's themed Project Run and Play photos I had for this week.....I set up one of the photos in Powerpoint (I just think Powerpoint is super easy for manipulating graphics and text to print):


I printed the image on cardstock and cut it into individual cards:


Using an exacto knife I cut two slits in one side to put Tootsie Pops into:


Boo signed each card herself.....and added "Batman" masks to a few to make them extra special:


Handmade rocks :) and I'm sure the Tootsie Pops are still good from Halloween right?

    haha I used oreos left over from Christmas and tied them up in celo bags I had hanging around. Glad to know I"m not the only one behind. :) The kiddos gobbled them up regardless. ...the cards are SUCH a cute idea! xoxo

    Is Boo a lefty? My little gal is, even though she's only 2...and I'm already having a hard time helping her color and write!

    Ha,ha! You sound like me! We used all sorts of things I had in my studio. I was not going to go buy anything this year. My 9 year old made rings out of old scrapbook paper punched hearts and hair elastics. We found un-sharpened pencils from Christmas, last Valentine's, etc. and made foam hearts for them. I made chocolate chip cookies from a devil's food cake mix for the twins to take to their friends. It was nice not to have to spend any money and the kids where happy with what they made! :)
