Brady's Valentines


Yesterday was Brady's Valentine's Day Party at school. I really, really do not like the pre-made, mass produced Valentines that you can buy at the drugstore. So while I still have a say & Brady doesn't care, I decided that we would make Valentines for his class.

I knew I had all kinds of scrapbooking paper, markers, glue, etc. And that I had a bag of Dum Dum suckers. So I googled "Dum Dum Valentines."

I found some good craft blogs: The Crafty Crow, Zakka Life, New Green Mama
I found this one on Zakka Life. I think it turned out really cute. You download the picture of the snail and then print it out. Brady cut it out with some scrapbooking scissors, glued it on the cardstock, I cut the hole for the sucker and he taped the stick to the back. I signed his name because he got frustrated with that (that's what happens when you are 4).
We were the only ones in his class that made our Valentines. But almost everyone gave goody bags loaded with candy.
