Day 10: Valentine's Card Ideas

What would Valentine's Day be without hand-made cards filled with love? Remember when we were younger and we got to decorate a shoe box and then pass out valentine's? Ah, those were the glory days. I always had SO much fun decorating my shoebox and now I have even more fun making cards for all of my loved ones. I'm constantly looking for new and creative ways to make cards and my jaw literally dropped when I saw those beautiful cards made with paint strips! AH, someone was using the right side of their brain that day.

Chalkboard Paint

I've been obsessed with chalkboard paint. There are so many creative and fun ways that you can use it. In the kitchen, while organizing supplies/materials, as a headboard, etc. One of my favorite ways that I've seen it used is in an empty frame on the wall. This way you can continuously change the quote/saying as often as you want! For me, this is a plus because I'm constantly looking for ways to change things. I get bored very, very easily. Here is an article about some of the best uses for this paint. How would you use it?
