Sweet Valentines

We FINALLY started making some Valentine cards today! With the party and the travelling, there was just no time until now. I put pretty much all the craft supplies I brought with me on the table and we started creating! I thought they would really like the conversation heart foamies to put on the cards, but they really could have cared less about them today (they'll love them tomorrow!). Both kiddos were really into the buttons, so we glued a giant heart on the paper and put buttons on the glue. It turned out very cute! So of course, I HAD to just one of my favorite sayings on the inside of the card!!


Look how intent Lyssy is as she works!


I think they ended up making at least 15 cards, 10 of which are these cute button hearts.

The GREAT thing about these Cards is that they can be made for any occasion.

What a fun idea, I hadn't thougth to do that with my three. It sure would be a great way to unload my huge collection of buttons. ;)
