First we took some cute valentine's day themed photos of her. Ours are specially thought for valentine's, but you could use any cute picture you have taken lately of your child. I went into photoshop and designed a very simple template to accommodate a couple of the pictures and wrote a little message. I set up card stock on my home printer and printed 3 cards per page of 8.5x11cardstock.
We went to the store looking for fun red, pink and white candy. There was so much to choose from, but we choose red chewy hearts, the classic heart shaped with a little message, pick candy corn and some other little things that I had never seen, but they were just bright and fun. We got your basic transparent plastic treat bags and used some ribbon I had in my craft drawer. Isabel loved the projects and she worked so hard writing everyone's name on the cards. I think she is very proud of her valentine's this year :)
Here are some photos to show you the process...hope you have a SUPER happy valentine's!
