Lunch Box Card


These are some leftover hearts from my Love Grows Here idea which I will have to post later after it really gets underway. But anyway, I was reading my google reader this morning and there were two challenges that stuck out in my mind Fantabulous Cricut and Cooking with Cricut. One was to make a 3x3 card and the other a child's valentine using the colors red, pink and white. Well this is what I came up with. I turned one of these cute little leftover hearts into a 3x3 card to tuck into my son's lunchbox on Valentine's Day and then I turned another leftover heart into a Valentine for him to give to his class. This is just my example, we'll see if he wants to do that. Last year he was super excited to make all his Valentine's and he did. It was so sweet.  He told me a couple of weeks ago that he wasn't going to hand out Valentine's this year, he wanted to just hand out candy. Sad huh....... I hope this changes his mind as I'm not ready for my baby to be too old for passing out Valentines! Who knows, maybe if he doesn't want to make them, I'll tempt him into getting some at the store....after all, they aren't very expensive and maybe he can find something he likes. If he doesn't want to make them or buy them, then I'll get him some candy to hand out but..... whatever the case, both of these will end up in his lunchbox at some time....I know he'll like that!
