Valentines Day is Fast Approaching!

Every year my Cabana-Boy and I make each other valentines. I honestly would be so disappointed if he were to buy me a card, even if it was dripping with gold and diamonds, because I treasure the cards he makes for me and the ones I make for him. Love is put into them.

This year I'm running a little late and low on creative inspiration. I've done so many variations - traditional doily-laden cards, 3-d mobiles, baked good shaped like hearts... what to do this year?

These are from last year:
From me to CB. The back reads I ♥ you with all my heart, J + H


From CB to me: tri-fold with pic of 2 parrots kissing in the moonlight.
Inside reads "Mated for Life. Happy Valentines to my Lovely Wife."

Luckily, I came across this website recently with patterns for cut paper pop-up cards. I'll be attempting this one:
Valentine Kiss

I received a fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd email about babies made of marzipan, and thought, wow, that's a lot of work, and who could eat them? Since then found out the artist's name is Camille Allen, and they are made of clay, not marzipan. Sorry, baby cannibals with a sweet tooth.
Pretty amazing stuff!
