Thanks! The sucker one is priceless and I knew two things immediately when I saw it. 1) I had to do it and 2) NO WAY Parker would cooperate for it. :D So the smartie one, I just came up with that on my own...why you hadn't seen it before. I'm sure it's not *that* unique an idea but at least he cooperated for it.
 
I'm doing the sucker one too! Wish I had seen this thread first, I had to offer the world to my Kyle to get him to take the photo. I ended up with one decent one (through his mouth). I will have to post photos once I do the sucker part. The best thing is that I had them printed at Sams, got 10 free and it only ended up being $6 including tax for 55 of them! I am so sending these to family (they didn't get a Christmas card this year).
 
i have the sucker one all ready to go, but silly me i let the boys pick how they wanted it and they are oh so very plain. love these!
 
Hope its OK Lena I'm just going to add on to your thread, no sense in starting a new one with basically the same thing. Like I said Kyle refused to hold his hand out and smile at the same time, so he ended up with the straw I was using as a prop in his mouth and that is how I ended up with the candy going through his mouth. And for the g-parents, I wont put anything there and keep the photo whole.

And I totally know what you are talking about taking a photo of a photo...not good, they really do look better IRL.
 
OK I am toootally going to use your ideas Lena! Woohoo, thanks for the inspiration! I was planning on doing something different than this but this wins the price, totally cuter and cheaper! :thumbup:

Only one of them was my idea LOL...the smarties one...I have no idea whose idea the lollipop one was since it was found on pinterest and I never saw it on pinterest, only here.

I'm glad to see so many people doing it; I think it's really cute and I think they are going to go over like crazy at Naomi's ballet Valentine party tomorrow. Parker doesn't really have a party to take his to, I'm just mailing them to a few relatives and he's taking a few to the babysitter's house next Monday (but she only keeps my kids LOL)

I don't know how we'll all top this next year ;)
 
Lena yours and Tracy's cards rock! Here is mine. I will be getting mine printed hopefully tomorrow! Sorry if the pictures are too big!

the tags have the kids' names to deliver them to.
 
That's brilliant, Celeste!!!

Naomi had her Valentine's party last night at ballet and I got a few interesting responses...the moms were looking on the back of them to see where I got them printed at, and then one of them finally asked me. When I told them I created them myself, one or two of them actually acted like they didn't believe me LOL. If I do something like this next year, I'll put them in bags since the sucker made it side heavy and awkward to handle.
