Valentine's Day Stamped Cards

CraftProjectIdeas.com is showing the love this February.

On top of graciously adding a $1 donation to the American Heart Association for every Heart Book sold in February, they sent me this fun stamp kit! [And one to giveaway to one of you!]

Henry and I broke it out and made some Valentine Cards!

I haven't ever owned a stamp before, so this was a thrill for me, too.

Earlier this week, Cathy of NurtureStore and I hosted a very hoppin' Valentine's Day party for The Heart Project!


A bunch of moms joined the party and swapped ideas for Valentine's Day, including family celebrations and traditions, as well as recipes and crafts.

Cathy shared yesterday a few of the Valentine's crafts and recipes that party-goers chimed in with.

It's Playtime! The Heart Project Features

The Heart Project has been kicked off great.
A week into it and we've raised well over our initial goal over $1,000 for the American Heart Association. We've now re-evaluated our goal, and lifted it to $2k, will you help us make it?

The Heart Project is a book [The Heart Book] full of heart projects for kids to do! So many great ideas to get crafty and artsy, even get the kids in the kitchen with you, or play with some hearty items!

A few were found last week on It's Playtime. I thought I'd give you another sneak peek of the hearts in the book.

I don't mind giving you these sneak peeks of the heart projects that are in the book. Because there are well over 100 heart projects in the book. So this is just a slim choosing of them!


Plus, they're pretty awesome and I just have to show them off!

Valentine's Activity for Kids: Hunt for Love

I decided that we needed some kind of Valentine's Day activity to do, instead of just crafty and artsy ideas.

We did a heart hunt last year, with great success. 

But this year, I wanted to make Henry think about love a little.

So I came up with a Hunt for Love.

To start, we needed to make plain white paper bags pretty so its ready for some love, right?

George was around and awake, so we wanted to include him and have him decorate a bag too.

I quickly came up with something that's colorful, edible and can be painted with.

Yogurt.
