A T T H E P A R K ' S

With Valentines Day fast approaching, I wanted to share with you what I created for my hubby this year.  He doesn't read the blog unless I ask him to, so I think I'm safe! Since his birthday is less than a week after VDay, I always try to keep it real small, inexpensive and easy to make.  I can't take credit for coming up with this idea, I've seen several versions online and found one through  pinterest . I filled the deck of playing cards with 52 reasons why I love my amazing husband.  I tried to include things he does for me, how he makes me feel, funny stuff, sexy stuff, and things about who he is as a person.  I wanted to really tell him what I love about him and his character.  Because, I love him for who he is, not just how he makes me feel or what he does for me. Instructions: Find some playing cards! Scuff them up with sandpaper to give them a used feel and look Create a template with one of the spare cards (I used a joker) Punch two holes

Since Valentines Day is around the corner, I wanted to share what I made my husband last year.  Super simple and that's how I like it! My idea came from here . Super cute, right? Since we didn't have the Scrabble game on hand, I purchased some sticker letters.  Let me tell you the scrabble letters would have had a much bigger impact than the stickers and I know this because the first thing out of my husband's mouth was "why love you?"  Fail. Here's the quick tutorial. Supplies: Frame (mine was a black 4x6 unused frame I found in our bookcase) Craft paper (you could also use wrapping paper or fabric too) Scrabble letters (or stickers in my case) Scissors Any embellishments you desire (I chose a tin heart fastener with a brad back) Put them all together! Ta Da! Easy Peasy! Have a great day!
