I love my mother. She is an infinite well of creative, clever and slightly outrageous ideas. And Valentines Day is her time to shine. You wouldn't believe the things she would do for my dad - we're talking pouring bright red tempera paint on freshly fallen Colorado snow to spell out "I LOVE YOU!" for my dad to see when he drove up after getting home from work on Valentines Day. And then there was the daily proclamation of how much she loved my dad - which was done at the top of her lungs (I'm pretty sure the neighbors could here it). And the smooching my parents would do after my dad came home from work...well I won't even get into that. Yeah, she is a passionate mom and I love her for it. So this year, I decided to take a page out of her book and create a Valentine's Day card for Jon based on one she did for my dad a number of years ago.
Basically the front of the card reads: "This Valentine's Day card is sure to turn your face RED." With plenty of fun innuendos implied, your Valentine might shyly open the card...only to find...
...that you have placed a photo of them inside...and with bright red lipstick kisses...
..you have covered their face...making it indeed turn RED!
I thought it was the cutest idea and had to do it for Jon this year.
And if you want to make one too, I have created the card for you which you can download by clicking the text below.
Hope you and your cupid enjoy!! XO
You are so pretty:) I love this idea and would love to do it for my hubby but the download seems so complicated. I even created an account with Keep and Share but can't find the file:(
