Hey, Valentine

Valentines for my first graders - done.  I'm not usually big on coloring a lot but it was so easy with my Blendabilities markers!

Monster Valentines

This may be the first time in my 20 years of teaching that my Valentines are done before February 13!  I bought the kits from Stampin' Up! for the monsters, and then I decided to go ahead and make them into a bigger card.  First graders are always so surprised when they find a card from me in their bags, so I thought I would make this one hard to miss!

Valentine Zoo Babies

When I sat down to design my convention swaps, I played around with the new Zoo Babies set.  I like to design holiday cards if I can because we always need ideas for the holidays.  This wasn't quite what I wanted so I didn't go ahead and make it into a swap card, but I do think these animals will make a great Valentine.

Valentine Treats

It's been a busy week for me, and as a result, I have been neglecting my blogging...well thanks to a snow day at my house, I am going to get some catching up done!  My neighbor shoveled my driveway last night so first order of business today was to bake some cookies.  I'll do some blogging next and then head to the craft room for a scrapbook layout for next week's scrapbook club.  Let me know if you'd like to join us as a guest.

Here's my long overdue Valentine "card" for my students.  They are so funny when opening their cards because they are surprised and feel they need to tell me they got one from me.  Yes, I know.  I put it there.  This is not unlike running in to them in public and them telling me the next day at school that they saw me.  Yes, I know.  We talked to each other :-)  One of the many reasons I like teaching first grade. 

I found this idea on Laura's blog via Pinterest.
