I’m normally just up for buying cheesy store valentine’s, but photo ones are so easy I just decided to do them last minute – and they turned out so cute! I know the big day is tomorrow, but really, these came together so fast!

LEGO Photo Valentine
First up, the LEGO one – my 9 year old thought this up himself – pretty genius! So first he built a heart with legos then I took a picture of it, like so:
Then I edited it by cropping it in tight and adding the words “You have a piece of my heart”. Then put 2 on a 4×6 size and had them printed at Walmart 1 hour photo:
Picked them up, cut them apart. Then he used glue dots to stick a lego piece on each one – – –
Blowing Kisses Photo Valentine
Next up the girls. I took these pictures the day after we got back from Hawaii so they wanted to wear their Hawaii stuff – all the more fun. I busted out the background paper and took their picture pretending to blow a kiss. Then I edited the picture to add hearts like they are blowing out like kisses. I saw a similar idea over at The Idea Room. I also edited them for 2 to fit on a 4×6 picture and printed them at 1 hour photo.
Then using glue dots they stuck on Hershey Kisses, so it’s playing on the whole “blow a kiss” theme:
They LOVED working on them:
Robot Photo Valentine
I was all done at that point then realized my toddler would probably feel left out, so I quickly snapped a picture of him in his robot heart shirt. I photo-edited on the words “you push all my buttons” – and again, fitted 2 on a 4×6 picture:
his didn’t get anything glued to them, but he still LOVED them and carries them everywhere:
So really, you still have time to crank these out – have fun!!
Love this idea. Thank you for sharing

Super easy and super fun. What editor did you use? I tried to do some Christmas cards on Photobucket and I wasn’t happy with the prints I received – the colors were off and the print looked cheap. Thanks for the ideas and advice! – Jess
Very cute!
The lego idea is so unique! I love it!
Adorable! Your kids are adorable too!
That’s a fun idea!!! I remember getting the cheapo ones in grade school… these would be WAY more fun!
