With just a few days to go, I figured I should probably get started on my Valentine’s Day cards. Better late than never, right? Thankfully, we don’t have to hand one out to everyone in school, or work for that matter. Our list is short, but oh so important: Dad-oo and the Grandparents.

Heart hand stamps by Kahli from Little. Lovely.

I was inspired by this adorable project on BloesemKids (originally posted by Khali at Little. Lovely.) and I thought to myself, self what a great idea for a Valentine’s Day card. The kiddo can help create them, and they make a beautiful keepsake for the important people in our lives. In fact, I think that we may just do this every year (or as long as the kiddo will put up with it), to record how the little man grows from year to year.

My Version

Now I’m thinking that I need to get more embellishments for these cards. I surprised myself and really enjoyed making the cards by hand, with the little bit of fun paper I had in the house. Does anyone know where I can order some fun scrapbooking supplies, for cheap?
