My Valentine Creations.

 Sorry I disappeared for so long, but I have been so busy with Valentines and now a convention. guess the best thing to share first is all my Vday goodies I made. I decided I wanted to do the kids their own Vday cards and you saw those already, but for the teachers I wanted to do something special. So I saw this idea on Pinterest somewhere about decorating bottles for Christmas and Valentines and putting candy in them so I did that for the teachers.

That turned out well and the teachers loved them!! So since that went over well I thought I'd do the same for the kids and James. Dorian really likes The Amazing world of Gumball so I made a Valentine of that and put it on the bottle. Tristian really likes zombies, but I didn't think I could get away with taking him a Walking Dead bottle so I compromised and made him an Adventure Time bottle with a zombie coming through the window. I cleverly wrote "I'm going to get you, Valentine" onto the label of this one. Kind of a throw back to Dawn of the Dead. :) He loved it, but then he saw the one I made for James later and totally wished he had that one. James is the BIGGEST zombie fan ever and he is really liking The Walking Dead right now so I made his with the reaching zombie and wrote "Be Mine!!" on his. He really loved his. So much so that we are making more of these amazing bottles in non Valentine manner to sale at our conventions and such.

 

When I took the kids their bottles at school on Valentines Day I wrapped them up and stuck their favorite bigger candies in the bag around the bottle. Also to make it really fun I stuck little love notes in their bottles with the candy.

Now I have a sister who lives in the same town as me and we get together every Sunday to watch the Walking Dead together and I just knew that after all the other bottles tuning out so great that I just HAD to make her one featuring her favorite character from the show. Daryl is a very tough guy, but he is also a very sweet guy and just doesn't want to let anyone in since he has had such a rough life and was heartbroken many times in his life. So Johnny just absolutely loves him. So I made her this bottle and wrote "Watch out for Cupid's arrow, he's a tricky little Bastard."  Now she was the most excited I would have to say. When I gave her the bottle she was so excited and held the bottle close to her and has been caught on numerous occasions even since then just staring at her bottle. I was so excited that she loved it so much. It truly made me happy.

Now for James I had to do more and not only is he a big zombie fan but he loves comic books as well, so this idea I actually came up with myself and was totally excited about how it turned out so well. Not that there hasn't been anyone to do it before, I'm sure it has been done before. But anyways I took pre-made Valentine's I found on the internet of comic book pics and put them on a box of chocolates. I would have made the Valentine's myself, but I made this before the bottles so I hadn't thought of that yet. I also knew I had to use the Simpson's Valentine so I just made that on the side. Now the comic book page rose was what I was really proud of. How perfect to give him a rose that he can keep and really enjoy. Next year for Valentine's I just might have to make a tutorial on how to make the rose or maybe I will just make one anyways since you can give a rose to someone on any occasion. So I hope that you enjoyed the post and maybe gave you some great ideas on what to do for a loved one next year.

More Valentine's but these are for the girls!!

So I tried to resist, really I did. But I just had to make more. I was having way to much fun making them and just couldn't stop myself. I really enjoyed making the Valentine's for my boys, but I wanted to make some girly ones as well. After all I am a girl and I like girly things. Well most of the time. :) I do have my Cordelia so I can just tell myself they are for her to make myself feel like I didn't make them all for nothing.

Here is the template for the Valentine's

Here it is, Tristian's Mayhem Valentines

So I finished the Valentine's I wanted to make for Tristian. They turned out really good and I like them a lot! And what's best is that he loves them as well!! His favorite is the mustache of course...Those silly mustache's are so popular right now. I might have ti make another set but for Cordi so that way I can have a set of girl Valentine's as well.

So here is the template to the valentine's that are just a little smaller than the basic Valentine's you get from the store, and here is the tag size template.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to come back and check out what else I come up with. :)

Robot Valentine's!!

Excuse me while I jump for JOY!!! I figured it out!!! I figured it out!!! I just made my own, so very cool Valentine's for my kiddo's!!! Not sure who will get these, I can see both Dorian and Tristian loving them.... Maybe I will make another set for them to choose who get's what.... I think I will make more with monsters!! Tristian will love that!

Now if you are curious where I made them at you can make them at Picnik. :) But if you like mine you are more than welcome to save yourself some time and effort and use these. I have made two templates for you today. One with bigger, more traditional sized Valentines (still a little smaller though) and one with tags, much like what is pictured at the top. I think I will be using the tags, just seems better since they are smaller and  will use less ink, and tags are always cute. :) Also for your convince I have copies of the individual pics at the bottom so that you can use which ever card is your favorite. Just right click the images and choose to "save image as". Enjoy and be sure to come back for those monster Valentine's. I am definitely not done playing and will be making them as well. LOL.
