A couple of days ago I was taking some pictures of Maya to make invitations for her upcoming birthday party and I was hit by an idea for our class Valentine's this year.
These were SOOOOOOO easy.
I put up a white poster board on our garage door and snapped some pics of Maya and Kai with their arms stretched out and their hands in a fist...
and then through the powers of photoshop I turned them into this...
I sent them to the hour photo at Costco and paid 13 cents each for 4x6 prints. I then slit some holes in the picture at the bottom and top of their fists and slipped in a sucker that I found in the $1 bin at Target.
Here is the finished product.....
...and there you have it.
School Class Valentine's....check!

what a great idea--I might have to steal it! :) I'm not creative, but I can usually copy it. :)
Carrie...you are so creative! Great idea. I just might have to steal that idea next year. (this year's are already bought and done.)
I really do think you are the most creative person on the planet! That is SOOO cute! I'm horrible at anything with cameras and computers, but maybe I can get my hubby's help. That is just too darn cute to pass up!
You were seriously hit with a cute idea. I love them.
I'm totally copying you! Thanks for sharing your creativity!!!
Care Bear.
U R SO my Hero!
now... you know that you have THREE sisters that are going to be asking you favors!
would a box of snickerdoodles (which is on its way btw; be a good enough bribe?)
absolutley, Jod....even without the bribe (you know that!!!)I only wish I were there to take the pictures for you too.
Just send me the photo and I will "fix it up" in photoshop (that goes for anyone btw)....It seriously took me like 5 minutes to do. SO EASY!!!
LOVE this idea! Beautiful pictures. :)
No Flippin way! Our kids have the same valentine this year. I kid you not!!! Yours turned out adorable. Love it on the white!
Carrie...your middle name should have been Creative! Such a cute idea! BTW...it looks like the shirts fit :) I got Maya's message!
That is just to stinkin cute!
Create gene runs in ur family for sure!
Shonda, I always knew that you and I were creativley connected. I LOVE everything you do. So it doesn't suprise me in the least that we came up with the same idea for Valentine's. I can not wait to see yours!
Care Bear,
sorry i am being such a pain with the pendants. I seriously have no idea how to do the things you do!
I thought of something too... on that same 4x6, why don't you include some B & W pics too? Just FILL up the whole 4 X 6 with as many 1" square pics you can...
just remember to leave about 1/4 inch boarder around each one...
LOVE YOU TO BITS AND PIECES!
with lots of pics... i am now thinking maybe something like a 'charm bracelet' or something... Ü
hmmmm... this could get FUN!
OH, too... i forgot...
i was gonna tell you how hard i laughed when i looked at the 'before' picture and then the 'after' picture of Kai...
in the 'after' picture... he all of a sudden has a clean face! HAHA!
if it's something a wipey wont do... leave it to photo shop! ;) HAHA!
Wow, you should start charging people to look at your blog. You have such cute ideas!!!
Oh my goodness, they are so great! I am envious of your creative and crafty talents! They are going to be a huge hit in class!
You have done it again Carrie! How adorable! We live in awe of your mighty crafty wits and talents. Thanks for sharing such a fun idea--of course it helps that your kids are adorable all by themselves. Way to go! They are perfect!
Seriously Carrie! Stop it! You make me look so bad! These are adorable and so insanely clever. You win the award again. I don't know what the award is, but it is a good one! :)
I'm laughing about Kai's before and afters! Cracking up.
I want to learn the wonders of photo-shop.
The Valentines are SO clever, So Carrie and SO perfect.
