Valentine's for Friends

The girls made their Valentine's to give their friends by using the old favorite envelope Valentine's. These are so easy and such fun to make. You start by licking the envelope closed and then cutting it in half. Stamp and decorate the top section and then I usually wheel the bottom before I run them through my crimper. The crimper makes the bottom just slightly smaller, so that it fits nicely back inside the top half. We put Welch's Fruit Snacks in them this year. The snack size M&Ms work nicely too. Other than the stamping, Laura made hers entirely by herself. She was so proud that she thought to sponge the edge...if you look closely you can see it. Her blue design was for the boys; the green ones were for girls. The backside has the "Happy Valentine's Day" and "to/from" on it. I had to help Ellen just a little, but she did all the coloring...and she did a GREAT job!
