Valentines Day Calendar Countdown.

I'm just a little bit late... oh well, it's still a good idea!

Love actually has created a V-Day calendar countdown, and the ideas are so cute!! These ideas couldn't be simpler. They are cheap and quick. In the end, it's the thought that counts. It's saying, "baby I totally thought about you today". We can do that right?!

Family Home Evening Activity Jar Ideas

This idea came from Life is Sweet. I thought it was such a cute idea! There are so many awesome garland pieces out there, but this whole polaroid/kissing theme she's got goin' on I'm totally loving! Enjoy!

DIY Framed Stencil

The Idea Room has a bunch of cute stuff right now! I love how expensive and classy this looks. It's not hard to make either! Go check out her tutorial!

Valentines Art... LOVE IT!

I found this beauty over at Craft-O-Maniac. She's got an awesome tutorial, it couldn't be easier. I think instead of black and white stripes, I'd do pink and white with maybe a thin black strip in there somewhere. You know me though, in love with all things color!! This is SO cute!

Valentines Day Coupons

So while my sisters were in town, we crafted. All. night. long. It was nothing short of amazing. We made some Valentines Cards/Coupons for our husbands. They were SUPER easy and turned out really cute!

First, I thought of some coupons my husband would like... they're not all completely appropriate, so I won't list them all! ha ha!! A few include things like, a day full of nag free sports, wild cards, a morning to sleep in, a shoulder and back massage... you get the idea. Just come up with some things you think you're husband would like!

I typed what I wanted in a text box, right adjusted (so I could add cutsie paper to the left side of the coupon). After I printed them out, I simply cut them to the size I wanted. I used the text boxes to give me a basic outline.

After I printed them out, in pink, red and white, I added some cute scrapbook paper on one of the ends. I had a heart punch, so I added that in there too. I cut the ends of the paper with those pretty old school fancy schmancy scissors. Pretty fun.

Alright. The card itself. I took a 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper and cut it in half. Then I folded it in half. Not too hard. Then I cut out one rectangle in different paper, and glued it to the bottom of the inside card, to make what is now the folder pocket. Make sense?

I cut a few hearts out with my cricut, and a little I love you sign. If you don't have a cricut, you could easily print out an 'I love you' designed in word or something, on pink paper, and then cut it out tracing around a clip out heart.

This really didn't take long. I would guess, after coming up with the coupons, an hour. The right side has the coupons, and the left side, well I'm going to type up a really nice letter or something. Thoughtful, cheap and super cute. Hope you enjoy!

LOVE and some Homemade Garland

These are the precious kids over at Our Scoop and I just love how they're holding the LOVE letters!! Isn't that such a great idea? Well don't forget it when you have four kids! CUTE IDEA!

This is a Valentines ornament I found over at Scrapper Girl. Gather the kiddos, take a few pictures and walah, you have some super cute garland. Fun idea yeah?!

Gift Ideas

Plan a Valentine’s Day treasure hunt. When was the last time your boyfriend searched for lost gems or a buried treasure chest? A Valentine’s Day treasure hunt can be inside the house, yard, park, neighborhood, city – or even a neighboring town or city. Prepare clues that lead him from one place to another. You can have as many as 15 clues, or as few as three. The last clue could lead to your bedroom, a candlelit bathtub full of bubbles, or a hotel room you’ve booked. Prepare the “treasure chest” with candles, music, roses, and chocolate…and have fun loving your man!

K that's awesome. When I make it I'll add pictures, but I wanted to give you some ideas because the day is coming up! I'm going to cut out some cute envelopes on my cricut, and print some clues on cute valentines paper. I'll make you guys a template, and post it later, so check back. Then I'll stuff the clues in the envelopes with maybe some candy and confetti and stuff and that last clue will lead... well, you know!
