Love You to Pizzas!

Valentine's Day is my kind of holiday. There, I said it--but first I should back up and explain why--not because I love Hallmark holidays, or the cultural force to purchase more stuff, but because I love a terrible pun. I'm guilty of making them constantly in my daily life, I even make the one about being "punny" is a regular basis. I think it's a childcare provider's occupational hazard. Forgive me.

Love of horrible puns now confessed, I'm sure you could only imagine my joy at discovering this card at the Paper Source. I'm also more than a little obsessed with pizza (I am often the subject of Ninja Turtle jokes. My fondness for pizza is very well known indeed.) It's everything that I could have asked for. In theory.

So the idea was there--but I've been committed to making homemade Valentines for the past few years. It's a tradition of sorts, I've embraced it. Added bonus: I already owned everything I would need to make some cutie Valentine's Day cards for the fellas. The supplies that I used are pictured above: kraft paper cards (and envelopes), washi-style tapes and (my favorite) Le Pens.

The process is simple: draw a couple of heart shapes, decorate with cut tape pizza toppings. Bake at 350 for... oh, never mind. All finished!
