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.

Valentine's Day Project #2

Before Thanksgiving dinner I took this picture of my boys.

I thought it would be a perfect Valentine picture of my baby with his little red bow tie.

So I turned to Picnik.  As you may have heard, they are closing in April.  I can't tell you how angry I am about the news.  It is the most user friendly photo editing site I've found and they will be no more.  For the next 2 1/2 months it's still around though. 

Out of the several pictures I took I just couldn't get all three boys to look at the camera and smile at the same time.  So for this purpose I erased the other two using the  "Clone" feature.  You just click on a part of the photo you want to repeat or "clone" over the parts you don't want and viola!

I then used the "text" feature to write "Happy Valentine's Day" down one side. 

  There you have a simple, cute,  little handout treat.
