These are Sydney's Valentines. She insisted on the store bought variety, I insisted we add something creative to them. Compromise - Mickey Mouse cards on decorated hearts. There are slits cut in the corners for the card and a set cut in the center for a pixy stick to go through. We were both pleased I think!These are the cards I made. I'm slowly learning it's all about the layers in card making.
Sydney and I worked together on a Valentine gift for someone special. (Inspired by one Breanna sent me! Thanks again!!)
We made an extra Heart Warmer! Leave a comment before Saturday at noon (CST) to win it!

Oh my gosh! I was just thinking that I would LOVE this and there is an extra one! PERFECT! Put my name in the hat!
Cute valentines. I so wanted to do homemade creative valentines for the kids' school parties, but with 2 boys, they don't see the fun in that so much! Love the heart warmer!!
I so love that heart warmer and I think it wants to come live with me!
Like the above poster, I have two boys and the store bought Lego valentines won out over anything "girlie" that Mom made.
Cute! I think the heart warmer would make a fabulous teacher gift...hmmm...
My girl came home from preschool with her bag o'valentines yesterday. She was the only one in her class of 14 who gave handmade cards. Now I don't know if we're that family or that family...you know?
The heart warmer is adorable. I always gave out store bought cards, but I love the way you combined both store bought and homemade. I think that is how I like to decorate my house a little store bought and a little homemade. A happy balance.
Super cute stuff! I started making an alphabet stencil the other day because I didn't care for the ones and Walmart..I think I would like a Silhouette for the purpose. Looks like you are having a good time with yours! Love the heart idea too!! Happy Valentine's Day!!
I love the heartwarmer!! That would be fabulous for my mom's aching back! I think your Valentine's cards are super cute!!
What an adorable idea!
Really cute... What did you fill the Heartwarmer with?
I compromised on cards this year too for my 3.5 yr old. He had storebought ones for his friends and homemade ones for his 3 teachers. I figured making 3 cards was the limit to his attention span!

I don't know how long I'm going to get away with homemade Valentines. I love the combo idea! I'll have to remember that when I'm forced to buy some character cards.
Very cute stripey heart warmer!
Happy Valentine's Day!
