Hello! Welcome to my very first blog post. Yikes!!! Please bear with me.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and although I’m not a super fan of the stereotypical Valentine’s Day. I don’t need a box of candy or overpriced flowers, I’m way too thrifty to enjoy that! I do love spending the day with my family, and as a momma, I love a good classroom Valentine’s Day party.

As an illustrator, designing valentines for kids is one of my all-time favs. Adorable characters and lots of puns, sign me up! Here’s a sample of some of the cards I have for sale at Minted.

Around our house, we love a good DIY project, so last year for Valentine’s Day my girls colored bookmarks to hand out, and my son made some fun thumbprint illustrations. Each one of his classmates received a very unique drawing. I was so impressed!

This year, I decided it would be fun to illustrate my own set of color-in bookmarks for my girls to hand out. Then I thought, why not share them with you! Just hit the button below to download a printable file.

If you have any ideas for future printables from me, please comment below or send me a message.
