When Grace and I went to look for Valentines cards to hand out at school, we were pretty disgusted with the choices!!! We decided that we would make our own. To save time, I created the Valentines digitally and then we printed them out on photo paper. Grace helped me matt them on red cardstock and then we punched a hole and used ribbon to tie on a sucker and pencil. I thought that they turned out fun, and are much more personalized than the ones from the store!












I loved the valentines you made for your daughter and I want to start on mine for next year. Can you tell me what software program you used for designing these? Thank you!

HOLY FREAKING CRAP! Your kids are so lucky! Mine are totally jealous! I bet if you put that card on CD you would sell tons of them in your store! (hint hint hint). lol.

that's so sweet and great job, too. We make our own each year, too, and the kids just love it. Granted, nothing as cool as yours, but they sure enjoy drawing a picture for each individual friend.

Gracie...
I really like the valentines you and your mom made together. Your friends should like them very much.
I hope you get some pretty ones in return.
Valentine's Day was always one of my favorite days to celebrate when I was a girl your age.
I'm a grandma now..and I still like Valentines!!!

You are way too good! I have been having a guilt trip about buying the cheezy store bought ones. I still have a week! You've motivated me once again!
