Toddler Craft - Valentine's Day Card

 I made these simple cards for family members w/ Aaron's artwork.

I took one of the works of art my little man completed last night...

Punch holes from the art work.

 Next I used a variety of materials to decorate the punched circles.

Like Puffy Paint, glitter, or sharpies.  Just use whatever you have on hand.

Draw a heart on the circles.

 And decorate your cards.

Here's a close up of the glitter hearts.

What crafts have you done with your toddler?  I'm looking for more ideas to do with Aaron.

Another Mother's Day Card

My coworkers were very pleased with the birthday card that I made.  I was a bit nervous because the idea I had for it was something totally different than how it turned out but I wasn't able to get the vintage images printed.  Stupid printer didn't want to cooperate.  So, I just went with what I had.

I was still very pleased with how it turned out but there's one thing I should really work on... my calligraphy.  The tag that says "Life Laugh Love" I actually had a different tag made with 2 stickers, an "H" and a "B" and I was going to right the rest by hand, "Happy Birthday".  Well, it looked pretty sloppy ad I just wasn't having it.  

I NEED YOUR HELP...

I am really enjoying making cards and if you have any tips on a better way to do font like this, please, comment me or email me.  I'd love to know some secrets.  I don't have the money to invest in stamps right now but I do plan on doing that one day.  Until then... what can I do?

Just in case you missed yesterday's post here's a pic of the birthday card I did...

And after showing this to another coworker (not the birthday girl) she asked me to make a mother's day card for her to give to her mom.  Here's the outcome of it and I LOVE IT!  Again, I got my vintage images (sheet music and birds image) from The Graphics Fairy. Please, go visit her blog.  She has so much to offer!

A card I made that I will be using as a birthday card for a coworker tomorrow.  I hope she likes it.
