Valentine III. Clever and homemade Valentine's!



I HEART a good play on words and the ingenious use of cute objects, especially when it comes to Valentine's! Having grown up in the United States, Valentine cards are close to my heart. Not just for a sweetheart, but for every friend that makes life a little sweeter. I have happy memories of every single February 14 distributing and collecting Valentine's day cards to and from classmates through all my elementary school years!

I thought these ideas below were just so clever that I might just make a few for my sweethearts! Remember, click on the link below each image to reach its source. Here's to hoping you'll be lovingly inspired! Happy Monday!
