Valentine's Day Project #3.

I've always loved the Petal Envelope.
Cute and functional all in one.
For this Valentine I took a double sided piece of paper and printed my
template right on it from my computer then folded it up.
Then I grabbed my camera and had some fun.
I don't know what it is about preschool age kids but when you put a camera in from
of them and tell them to smile they look like they're constipated.
I had to really whoop it up to get him to laugh.
Then I uploaded my photo to Picnik, turned it black and white, next went back and used the lipstick feature to color in the heart red then added my text.
I made this petal envlope template which is big enough for a 3.5 square picture (download here).  
If you're kids are like mine it's all about the candy so don't forget to add a chocolate heart or something sweet in the envelope.

Uh......awesomeness! Nash’s cards are going to be a HUGE hit. They are stinking adorable.

Yes you are right about the preschool age smile! Maybe it’s a milestone that the doctors haven’t put in medical records yet! ;o)
