14 Must Have Valentine Fonts!



It's February 14th and I've got my 14 most favorite free Valentine fonts linked up for you!  Sadly, my font addiction has gotten worse... I've now turned into a full-fledged font snob.  It's an illness.  I collect fonts, I need fonts, I love fonts.  Trust me though... using the right fonts can take any digital project from drab to fab - so be sure to have an arsenal full of great ones!

The links below will take you to the free download:

New Valentine Printables!


So much Valentine cuteness... I just can't take it. :) 

Although I am a "Fun Dip" mom and won't be breaking my back making over 100 crafy-ish Valentine's for my kids to pass out in their classes... I will definitely spend some time making cute favors for ladies I visit, special girl friends I can't live without and a few other fabulous people in my life.


... and my kids would definitely never forgive me if I didn't surprise them with new festive lip balm.  I think I've officially turned my girls into chapstick snobs.  


As I've mentioned in the past - reading is a big deal at our house.  I have a colorful mix of reading strengths in my home - top to bottom - and I love how something as simple as a cute, holiday-ish bookmark encourages them to keep reading.  Plus... they are an easy, no-brainer favor if you need one so I always make up an extra sheet or two.

The 2" goodie tags, bookmarks and lipbalm labels all have 4 designs - my favorite being the, "I Toadally Love You" and "Owl Always Love You" ones.  Also, new with this printable, I'm offering the option to purchase the individual JPEG images for those of you who just want one particular design.  Enjoy!


Thanks to all of you who participated in all of my freebie give-aways this past week! 
In all, I gave away over 1,000 printables from my shop! :)  I love to share, but this printable will be exclusive to my shop only and will not be part of any give-aways.

Celebrating Valentines with Printables...


Have I ever mentioned that I love decorating with printables?   I love to get creative on my computer, hit print and then finish it into something fun.  I love that paper crafting is easy and inexpensive - it stores well and is easy to change out from month to month.  I have subway art images for almost every month and each one stores so nicely right inside the frame.  It's like no brainer decorating as its best.  And... I love-love-love pennant banners.  Enough said. :) 



My fetish with paper doesn't stop at my mantle... I love the easy change out each month of my Menu Planner and Clipboard Calendar as well.  Just like my subway art, I store all of my menus inside the frame for an easy switch-a-roo and changing my calendar is easy as well.  I've also been doing the same with my kids' countdowns.  Most of the countdowns/advents I've sized as 8x10 prints - which makes them easy to print and even easier to store and switch.  My kids think I'm a rockstar... but really, I'm just good at switching out paper.

I also got my hubby's love note quote cards ready this afternoon... another printable also available in my shop.  I gave away over 200 yesterday and they disappeared in just over an hour.  Wow... that's alot of love notes for alot of hubby's out there.  I hope it makes everyone's holiday a little more lovey-dovey! {wink, wink!} :)

So - in the spirit of continuing my LIMITED freebies this week... below you'll find a link to download a 16x20 image of my Valentine Subway Art image.

Love Note Quotes...


Did you seen the "Love Note Quotes" I made last year? 

So fun.

Each card is a lovey-dovey quote for your Valentine.  Hide them all for him on Valentine's day or leave him one to find each day... attach a tiny treat it you like.


 Nothing like sending your hubby off to work with a little bit of love (and a little bit of chocolate).


 


After my husband collected them all last year, I laminated each card and clipped them together with a metal ring to make it into a cute Love Quote book.  The set includes 17 quote cards (I thought I'd do a few extra) as well as included a blank sheet to write your own notes on.  The blank ones can be used as goodie tags, lunch box love notes, or just to write a sweet message to someone you love.

Kissable Countdown 2 Valentine's

Valentine's is just around the corner... so it's time to get those "Kissable Countdowns" ready for your family!  This is an 8x10 image, perfect for framing so you can use it year after year.


I display mine on a clipboard and have one for each kiddo (and one for me, too).  I just tied a bunch of coordinating ribbon to the metal clasp to make it festive and use double sided tape to attach the kisses.  Glue dots would work easily too.


To get spiral ringlets out of your ribbon, make sure it's wired and after you tie it just wrap it around a pen or pencil.  Such a fun accent and the kids just love it!  If you need a quicker solution, just print and hang on your fridge or on their doors. :)
