DIY Life

The stores are fully stocked with all kinds of Valentine's Day goodies and have been for quite some time. I am a chocoholic and have to make a wide berth around the boxes of chocolate, otherwise I would be going home with way more than I need, kind of like I did when the Christmas candy went on sale after the holiday was over. I also make a wide berth around all the cheesy Valentine's Day cards.

Really, gag me! I much prefer to make my own cards, and am delighted with the step by step pop up Valentine's Day card instructions and pictures on wikiHow. Using cardstock, the two print outs available to you, a ruler, glue, scissors, stickers, markers, and a paper clip, you can make your sweetie a card they will be happy to receive. Use your own words to express how you feel, and decorate with symbols they would love.

I think this would be a great scrapbook project too. Add the card to the pages and document the reaction of the one you love. It will be a hit when you show others, and they will want to make a special card for the one they love too.
