This Year's Valentines

Thought I would quickly pop in and share the girls' valentines with you.

I feel like the older they are, the less time I spend on these.  Ha!



This year  Carina is in the Flamingos class, so earlier this year I picked up Reverse Confetti's Fabulous Flamingo set.  I also found these flamingo cupcake/pencil decorations.  Carina actually helped with these attaching all the decorations to the pencils, and then I added a really simple tag.

If anyone out there does not own a Lawn Fawn alphabet set you are missing out.  Milo's Alphas are my favorite.  I love how many extra letters there are, and this alpha (like all LF alphas) are designed for ease of use.  All of the stamps are the same height so you just line the stamps up, and the letters are perfectly aligned.



Ellie's class this year is the Adventurers.  This one was a little harder to figure out theme wise, but I happened upon these mini compasses and I thought they fit with the idea of adventure.  The Origami Map is stamped tone on tone, and I again used Milo's alphas for the sentiment.  The compass was adhered with a thin Zot.

So nothing earth shattering here, but if you're still stumped, or behind on Valentines (and if your school district is all anti-candy like mine), maybe this will give you some ideas.

Side note, at the last minute (after I did all the stamping) I got all anxious about the sentiment on the Flamingo valentines.  I kept thinking (and still kind of do) that it should be al-write as opposed to all write.  After asking Andrew about it he stated that 1) it's a pun and 2) this is for preschoolers.  So, I'm setting my OCD tendencies aside and calling it done.
