This Year's Valentines.

It feels to me like our Valentines get less and less complicated/fancy each year.

Which is really OK with me.  That's probably partly because the girls take part a little more each year, and there's some general parental malaise as well.

This year, both girls are doing the exact same thing on account of an insane deal I got over the summer on these adorable rulers from Studio Calico.  It was one of those weekly deals and it was a set of four rulers for $1.00.  You really can't go wrong with 25 cent valentines!

Pretty easy.  I first cut pieces of cardstock 4" x 2 1/4", then I used my paper trimmer 1/2" in from the top and bottom to cut a slit that I could slide the ruler through.  As an aside, I've been considering upgrading my paper trimmer to a Tonic, but this is one thing I can do with my trusty paper trimmer that I wouldn't be able to do with a guillotine.

Once I had the pieces cut, I put together the sentiment with the little ruler stamp and using the MISTI stamped a gazillion little tags.  I heart the MISTI.  That is all.

The girls are in charge of the rest (adding names and coloring in).  Super easy and I like that my portion of the projects diminishes each year.

That's all for today.  

I'm back here tomorrow with my project for the Neat & Tangled/My Sweet Petunia collaboration.  Did I mention how much I love my MISTI?  Did you know that you have a chance to win one on the Neat & Tangled blog and that you could win $100 to the N&T store on the My Sweet Petunia blog?  

Why are you still here????!!!!
