* Homemade Lollipop Photo Valentines!

For this year's school Valentines, "E" and I made these fun 

photo lollipop Valentines for her class

 inspired by my dear bloggy friend, Val.

Here's a link to HER great photo Valentines!

We started by taking a photo of Miss "E" in front of our playroom curtains 

(a fun rainbow background, of course)

Then, we printed out our 27 (yikes!) copies

and cut out as many paper hearts.

I loved our little heart rainbow on the family room floor!

Then, mama got our her handy dandy little x-acto craft knife

and cut mini slits above and below her hands in the photo.

We slipped in these cute tulip lollipops we found at the Dollar Tree

and I put a small piece of clear tape on the back 

to reinforce it, and prevent any little rips. 

Each lollipop card was mounted to a folded over doily

and a colorful heart with a heartfelt message

for each friend written on the back. 

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!

Fondly,

pink and green mama
