Ahhh l’amour.
I’m so glad you like this idea. If you try something similar, start soon. Don’t wait until Saturday afternoon, because it takes a little longer than it looks. It’s definitely worth doing.
Rachel, I bet it took some time to do this–the results look fantastic, and I can’t even read the words. I’m thinking a piece of recycled paper would work well…

Thanks for the awesome idea. I am going to work on one of these for me sweetie
The photo does make it look small, but it’s really bigger than it looks. I don’t write that tiny!
swoon and sigh. is it TOO selfish of me to want to be the recipient of this rather than the giver?

great idea – thanks for sharing!

This reminds me so much of our dating days!
Great way to bring some romance back!

So cute! One thing I do sometimes for a letter or card to a friend is write a Bible verse or saying on the back of the envelope in swirly directions/shapes. Taking the time to write down all the things you love about someone is a great way to not only touch their heart but also remind you of how blessed you are as well. Have a lovely Valentines!
How many reasons did you put on the heart? I ask because I’ve seen that idea where you write 365 reasons down on little slips of paper, put them into a jar and read one every day. That seems like fun too.
Aren’t you concerned that your SO will come to your blog and see this?

Christine, I have no idea how many there are. Doug will read this, but fortunately this isn’t a new idea. I gave this card to him for a previous Valentine’s Day, and I talked to him about sharing the idea here.
That’s a great idea to put the reasons in a jar.
Wonderful idea! I love writing in that similar style on cards (usually in a circular pattern) but I had never done it for Valentine’s Day, on a heart-shape, none-the-less. What a cool effect.
Thanks for you great blog – I always enjoy your simple but brillant posts.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for the idea.
I love your idea…so much better and personal than a $4.-$6. store bought card! This is a card he’ll never discard! Thanks for sharing the fun idea. I’ve done something similar in a list format, but the heart is so appropriate for Valentine’s Day!
Also, thanks for all the creative, fun, simple, affordable ideas that you share on your blog! I hope you keep it up after baby number two…I know you’ll be busy…but maybe you can find a weekly blogging time that works for you (I’ll keep my fingers crossed). Your little Lane is just adorable!!!
All the best,
Nikki
Thanks so much Nikki! I definitely have plans to continue blogging. I’ve been thinking of ideas I can write about in advance so I can keep it up while I take some time off with family.
i love this idea. so. much.
What a truly lovely idea! I’m going to start working on something similar right now.

wow! that’s a lot of writing!
I did a scrapbook once and wrote 100 things I love and 50 things that bug me.
How are you feeling these days? are you getting your energy back?

So sweet! I created a similar card for my valentine (husband of 7 years!) and posted it on my blog. I went in a simple circular pattern. It was really nice to sit and think of all the things I wanted to say to him. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much for this idea! I did it for my husband and he LOVED it! He hasn’t stopped smiling!
