Valentine's day 2012

I am, and continue to be, suffering from crafter's block.  Yes, writer's block for those who craft.  Sigh.  I am sure inspiration will strike soon BUT for now, I'll share some of my Valentine's inspired creations from last year.

Admittedly Unoriginal But Still Adorable Valentine's

It's been many years since I have had any personal experience passing out Valentine day cards. When I went to school Valentine day cards, included candy. I was shocked to learn that in some schools candy isn't even allowed. Of course, I realize why and want to be respectful SO for Grace's preschool Valentine's...

We opted for a dino-mite theme. I found a package of 12 plastic dinosaurs at Party Central for $3.

Using my Silhouette, I drew out a stegosaurus pattern {if you want to use mine, send me an email and I'll send you the file}. Then, using some colorful card stock, I cut out a dozen stegosaurus.

I used some bakers twine to affix the dinosaurs to the stegosaurus cut out.

So, even though I have seen this idea done several different ways, I have high hopes that the 3 year old crowd will be impressed.

Here's hoping that you also have a dino-mite Valentine's day!
