Ryan's Valentine Card

I have wanted to make a Valentine Card like those on all the other blogs and on Pinterest for a couple of years.  This year I did it.  Wow, it was so easy and cheaper than buying the flimsy paper Valentines you get at the store.  These cost me $2.75 to make since I already had some lollipops to use.

Here is my Ryan in his Valentine Card for his classmates:

I took the picture on our new camera and then uploaded it to the computer.  I edited it in Picnik (very upset that it will be closing down soon) and added the greeting.  I sent it off to Sams and picked it up this morning.  Then I took my exacto knife and made a slit at the top of his hand and bottom of his hand.  Then just slide in the lollipop.  I saw someone else use a glow stick for their Valentine as well.  That is a great idea that kids will love.

I am looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day with our family.  We are taking the kids roller skating and I got them "The Lady and The Tramp" movie.  They've never seen it before. I have to be honest and say that I really wanted the movie as it has always been a favorite of mine, but I will use my kids as an excuse to get it on DVD.

Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!
