Last minute, Do it Yourself Picture Valentines for kids
If you are a last minute sort of gal, these do it yourself picture Valentines are perfect for your kids. It took me a whopping 15 minutes to snap the pictures, upload, edit and print them! Totally midnight the day before Valentines worthy. This is for all you busy mamas who forgot your kiddoes need Valentines, and want something cute. The best part about it, is the editing tools I used were completely free! <3
Supplies

Steps
1) Snap some cute pictures of your kiddoes with a plain background. A wall or door seems to work well! Have them hold their hand out (or hold a stick if they are too young) if you would like it to appear like they are holding a sucker or candy!
2) Upload them onto your computer.
3) Go to the PicMmonkey website and sign up for a free account or paid membership. Click on Edit, then Computer. Choose the image of your little Valentine you would like to edit.
4) Use the crop feature to make your Valentine the size you would like.
5) Choose the Themes icon (looks like a heart with an arrow through it because it is February right now!), then select Sweethearts.
6) Have fun playing around and adding the Valentine themed goodies that are free or that you like the best!
I added broken hearts:
Heart Cut-out frames:
and Text to mine!
You can use the elements and shapes to create a background or textbox for your words if you would like them to stand out more. Happy playing! <3
7) Once you have the image perfect for how you want your do it yourself valentines to look, download it to your computer. The upload the image onto a Word document or PDF (I include multiple images per page to get them the size I want and to save my precious cardstock 😉 ).
8) Print! Cut-out and tape some candy on top if you like. I enjoy making it look like they are holding a Dum-Dum sucker. It makes my mama heart happy, and DUM DUMS Lollipops seem to be the perfect size. Holding up Hershey’s Kisses or other candy would also be adorable!! 🙂
Viola! Last-minute, super cute, do it yourself Valentines for your kids that appear to NOT have been thrown together the night before 😉
