{Valentine's are DONE, Man!}

I don't think it's a secret that I have a crafty crush on Mandi from Tidbits from the Tremaynes.  If you've never read her blog, 1st of all, you have been MISSING OUT! 2nd, She is awesome, talented, funny, skilled with a saw & GORGEOUS! I SO want to be her neighbor!  {isn't she a hottie!}


Anyway, a few weeks ago Mandi posted about Valentine's for her boys and I thought her idea was SO cute! I told her I was going to steal it! {And I did, kinda!}


Mine are little bit different, and not as cool as Mandi's, because let's face it, nothing I do will ever be as cool as Mandi! So, here we go, first of all, you'll need sticky back felt, glue dots & a cute kid.  

I cut out a bajillion mustaches from the black felt.


Then I took my cute kid to the backyard for a photo shoot.


Isn't he cute!


Such a ham!


Then I decided which picture I like the most and edited it in picnik, uploaded that to walgreens.com and had them printed 4x6. {If you use code BeMine40 you can save 40% on your prints}


An hour later, I was glue dotting the mustaches onto the pictures.  Easy Peasy, and UBER Cheesy! A perfect Valentine for our family! Here is an updated Tutorial on how I made these.


So, Mandi? Will you be my Valentine? :)
