Valentine's Day Crafts and More

Soooo - I've done Valentine's Posts in the past and I would be a little upset if I missed sharing something this year too - however limited.
I found this tutorial yesterday for Valentine Paper Bag Books and thought it looked like a new and fun-to-make idea. While LOML was at band practice, I snuck in a little crafting time to make his Valentine card using the basic idea from the tutorial. Here are my results:

The Outside Cover

 

The Inner Flap

 The Pull Tabs (card stock on dictionary pages - distressed)

The Front with the tabs Pulled Out

I think he'll like the effort I put into it more than anything. Granted, I could have made it a bit more . . .decorative, neater, whatever. But, I just wanted to make sure it was COMPLETED before the actual day.

I do have a few links to share for this occasion as well:

• Some easy to make valentines for kids.
• Make a great/ cheap valentines day gift.
• And, a little funny for ya - if Valentine's cards said what they really meant.

I hope this inspires you to make something just lovely for the one(s) you love.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
