Valentines Day...

This year won't be the usual dinner date with my man.. instead, I'll be changing, nursing, swaddling, kissing and snuggling my new little love.. ..

HAPPY LOVE DAY!

Thursday Family Photo idea...

Want a cute Valentines Day Card Idea??

1st: take 3 different photos of your kids holding a blank poster or sheet of paper...

2nd: add words using photoshop or other photo editing programs.. *if you don't know how to do this you could have your signs already made with the words on them when you take the pics*

3rd: print photos,  and use glue to frame each photo with cardstock,  cut a paper long and wide enough that when folded accordian style, it will hold your three framed pictures..

4th: decorate with ribbon, doilies,  or whatever else you like.. and.....

TA DA!! The cutest Valentine card ever..

I first made these when we were living in Greece, where craft stores are hard to come by, so using photoshop to decorate our signs was easier than actually making them, but your kids might enjoy that part too..


*Idea originally from marthastewart.com..

Happy Monday!

Hope you had a great weekend.....

I wanted to start off the week by offering a *free Valentines Day printable*. I designed this to help you instantly add some {polka-dots} to your home decor.

Print is a fabulous mixture of Scarlet Red and Peony pink... awwww my two faves together at last!

 Frame it for your wall  or shrink and use as a Valentine card for those you LOVE.

The original is designed as a 16X20 and can be downloaded HERE. You can easily shrink to an 8X10 and print at home. 

I also designed it without the border for a simpler look which I also love.
