Crayon Valentine Heart Cards

Several of you have asked how we "present" our

upcycled crayon heart valentines.

Each year, the Frog Princess

designs a card

that I copy on with my computer scanner/printer.

Then, we just put them in an envelope with the crayon hearts tucked inside.

You could even make your own envelopes

out of recycled paper if you have a lot of spare time...

I don't.

I use envelopes from a giant

bag of stray envelopes

I've collected and saved over the years for projects like this.

Some folks like to use

double-sided foam tape

to stick the crayons to their valentines but I don't think that is very planet friendly

and...I'm too lazy!

Have you ever seen what that stuff does to your craft scissors?!

This year, The Frog Princess drew

6 different Valentine designs

on a sheet of white office paper, then I scanned them,

and printed 4 sheets of them on

full sheet

self-adhesive (office) labels.

We cut them apart on the paper cutter and added them to some card stock from our stash.

I love the way the scanned marker and crayon

drawings look like

original art work.

Happy Valentine's Day!

P.S. Thank you for all of the kind comments about Mini-Saurus' croup yesterday.

She's doing much better. Now she's just in full throttle coughing-sneezing-snotty cold mode.

My new hobby is hand washing.

Warmly,
