If you’ve been following my blog since its inception in September, you know that I’m CRAZY about Christmas decor, but not nearly as enthused for the other holidays. Not that I don’t enjoy them as well, but I don’t have a pumpkin/autumnal leaves wreath… or a motorized turkey that sings, I don’t know, a Thanksgiving song? (Do these actually exist?)
Valentine’s Day is no exception. Usually, I spend this holiday with my three Valentines (husband and two dogs, of course)… and maybe there will be a meal out at a restaurant… Or more likely, we end up cooking at home because we usually haven’t made a reservation anywhere and don’t want to brave the crowds and the lines… and the explosion of pink and red decor (not really my two fave colors).
However, this year I decided to give in to the blogosphere-style peer pressure that’s been breathing down my neck. (Seriously fellow bloggers, you guys are crazy about February 14th).
Then, I realized something curious once I took the plunge and actually started planning some Valentine’s posts:
I think I might be digging this Valentine’s thing….
???
Weird, right? But seriously… I think I might even be coming around to pink and red. Maybe…
So here I am, post-plunge, and I plan on sharing a few V-day ideas with you over the next couple of weeks. Glitter, sprinkles, and a general feeling of mushy-ness may be involved. (Don’t say you weren’t warned.)
Today, I’m sharing a fun printable idea… great for Valentine’s cards. I found the original method on Pinterest (where else?), and it was one of those where I went “Duh! Why didn’t I think of that?” But I didn’t; a smart lady from Black and White {Side by Side} did. (Check out this blog, as well as the instructions!) It’s so easy — no Photoshop or even really fancy computer/design skills needed! Just MS Word, Paintbrush, and about 5 minutes!
Here’s a screenshot of what I whipped up (again, using the method found at Black and White {Side by Side}):
And here’s a close-up (it’s “I love you” in various languages):
And here’s a printable if you want this one: The GPP’s I love you languages printable
Or better yet, make your own! It’s so easy…
One mo’ again, here’s the link so you can learn how: Black and White {Side by Side}
Enjoy!
