I love the Valentine's lace up cards idea! Thanks for sharing!

That arrow garland is great, I like things that aren't the expected hearts.

I can't believe I've started Valentine crafts already but this is the first time my 2 year old is excited about the holiday so I'm psyched. Check out my shaving cream valentines here:

Super fun to make and receive.

Thanks so much for adding my iPhone here!
