I did this post last year very early in my blogging career when I had about 20 followers. With Valentine's Day right around the corner I thought I'd share it again because it's so easy and so cute (if I do say so myself ;).
After seeing all kinds of cute-sey Valentine's cards out there in blogland I was inspired to make special Valentine's Day cards for my boy's grandparents. My oldest is SO not into crafting/drawing/etc (hopefully that means he'll be good at math because he doesn't like art, right!?) ;) and my youngest is too young so I decided to do it myself.
I took several pics of the boys individually holding up a piece of blank white poster board.
I picked my favorites and then added letters using software I have on my computer, you can probably do it at Photobucket.
I did this for 4 pictures alternating kiddos so I was able to spell out LOVE. I cropped and lined up the photos, changed it to black and white and "softened" the edges with my software.
I then downloaded some free digital scrapbooking paper to add as a background. Easy-peasy!
And here's the finished project!
I went to Wal-mart.com and made them into 5x7 greeting cards with personalized insides for about $1.50 each. Way cheaper than Hallmark! You could also print them at home for free.
I think the grandparents will love it, I do! :)
This looks cute and so easy!
