Hello Friends! It's February and
So that means the time has come to make your Valentines!
I was over at Kelly's blog The Lily Pad Cottage, and she had a post on making school valentines with pictures of your little one! You can find her post here I found this to be the neatest and cutest idea! So I dressed my little one {Olivia} up and took her out for a winter photo shoot.. She picked her dress and necklace.. This was my necklace that I wore on my wedding day <3 So these pictures are EXTRA special! I then dressed up the pictures with cute little love phrases, hearts and butterflies. All of which I created at PicMonkey.
I am SO in love with that website! It's free and there are so many amazing things you can do and add to dress up your pictures! You can also upgrade for like 4 bucks a month to have more options. But the free version suits my needs for now.
Have I told you how much I LOVE this little girl of mine? She is so fun to take pictures of. Always ready for a pose! Haha.. And she has ALWAYS been that way. Very girly girl.
I found these cute little baggies at Walmart for less than 2 bucks for 20 bags. So cute and perfect for what I was making! Next you just fill the bags with a small candy {I chose Hershey's Kisses} yum!
I did the assembly a little different than Kelly did.. But you could really do it both ways. Her pictures were folded over the little baggies. But I forgot to stand back far enough to be able to fold over the top of the photo. So I just stapled mine to the bags as full size photos. It still got the job done ;) Now all you have to do is write the class names on there and you have yourself some adorable little DIY Valentines! Thanks for the post Kelly!
Now I just have to do my other daughter {Isabella}! She isn't as girly as Olivia, but she saw these and loved them! So we have more to do! I hope this has inspired you the way it inspired me! I would love to see what you come up with or hear about your neat Valentine making traditions! Have a great week!
