I've been excited to take full advantage of making homemade valentines now that we have our little boy :) And after seeing my awesome friend Rachel's valentines from her adorable girls to their grandparents (and realizing V-day is this Monday!) I knew I had to jump on something with Brooks!! Go see what she did here...you will die and go to Valentine Heaven ;) Their's was made on a much larger scale (if you go check it out you'll know what I mean) and with how wiggly Brooks is I knew we'd have to do something a little different...

Those are really cute. Would it be too embarrassing to say I'd like to do it? I don't think my hands are quite as cute though... ;)

we tried to do the same thing with conrad and it was a disaster.
super cute idea though huh?
next year.
sooooo cute! I popped on over from whipperberry, super glad I did. :) Rebecca {simple as that}
I am working on making a similar card, thanks for the idea! I have two boys so I put the big boy's hand on the outside and the little boy's hand on the inside, of a 5x7 card. Super cute!
So cute!!! im gonna try something like this for my wiggly 1 yr old girl Addison :)
These are so stinkin' cute! Thank you so much for sharing. I made similar ones with my 2-year-old daughter this year, & it was so much fun.
I referred to you in my blogpost: http://letterstomylittlelove.blogspot.com/2012/02/our-cranky-valentines.html
Hope your Valentine's Day is super special!
Hello. I love this card! I was just wondering what you used to attach the hand to the card! Thanks!
These are great! I want to do this with my little one this year. I'm a little confused about the little white heart cut-outs, though. Do you stick that on their hand after the paint so it leaves a white space when they make the handprint? That's what I was thinking, but for some reason it looks like there is a heart-shaped hole cut out of the handprint in the picture of the finished card.
Ronnie 373: if you look in the fourth picture, it looks like she cut out a heart shape and placed it on the paper before "stamping" her son's hand on the paper. Hope this helps :)
Hi I am also wondering what you used to attach the hand to card? Thanks!
