I know this isn’t a new idea, but it’s a good one, and so adorable! I found this mailbox filled with suckers and camo Valentine’s at a discount store for $2.50.
Going with the “Friends Like You are Hard to Find” theme, I had my little paleontologist dress up in his gear and hold his hand out to the side.
Next, I uploaded the picture to picnik.com and added the camo frame and text.
I measured the size of my original Valentines, inserted my photo into a Word document and sized them appropriately. Then, I printed them out on photo paper and cut them out.
You could glue these to your cards using a variety of methods. I’ve had these photoslips for over a decade now so decided to finally use them!
If you have a mini hole punch, it would be perfect for this next step. I didn’t have one, so simply used an ice pick to punch my holes. You want to punch under the thumb and then right below the pinky.
Lastly, insert your sucker stick into the holes and you are done!
Aren’t they the cutest???
Aw, and isn’t my baby the cutest??? 
This is a great trick to use when you want to customize store bought Valentine’s in a jiffy! Enjoy!
Once again, amazed by your creativity! I bought some Fun Dip Valentine's and thought I was mom of the year.
Those are SO cute!
Ridiculously cute!! Such an adorable and creative idea!
Zephan is such a cutie. Love the cards. Maybe next year for me! Hope all is well.

How cute and clever. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Beth, these are ADORABLE! what a cute idea! Happy Valentine's day!
So very cute; it almost makes me wish I had little ones again to do them for! Instead; I'm going to forward this to my daughter (for next year). If you ask Abby what her favorite color is, she'll respond, "Camo." Thanks!
Beth,
Such a cute boy version! Zephan looks so sweet.
We should get together sometime. Blog talk. Unless you're all talked out from Bliss;) We can meet at my house too if you want. I just rearranged my living room so things are about as clean as they'll ever be. Hurry while it lasts!
Superduper cute!
Love it!
Aren't you the brilliant one, Beth?! You crafty girls are so good at coming up with great ideas like this. Love it & yes, your baby is adorable.
Very cute boy, oh, and those Valentine's are adorable too
This so just so cute!

These are the cutest!!
This is so cool and I love me some picnik…bummer I just read it today… a little late, maybe next year!
Cute boy and cute valentines! I have a little dinosaur-lovin' boy, too! It's an exciting world!
totally adorable! My son's school disallows any treats and candy so their Valentine's Day celebration is treat-free-BOO!
I've looked through a LOT of valentine ideas this year, and this is the BEST valentine idea I've seen! I swear it's the perfect combo of being cute/creative and being easy to do. Thanks so much for posting this! I didn't have time to try this idea this year, but it's already on my list for next year!!
Hey Beth I hadn't been by in awhile-super cute!
Cheri
