hmlentz 01-30-2011 12:48 PM

Thanks! The sucker one is priceless and I knew two things immediately when I saw it. 1) I had to do it and 2) NO WAY Parker would cooperate for it. :D So the smartie one, I just came up with that on my own...why you hadn't seen it before. I'm sure it's not *that* unique an idea but at least he cooperated for it.

sprauncey1 02-01-2011 09:40 AM

I'm doing the sucker one too! Wish I had seen this thread first, I had to offer the world to my Kyle to get him to take the photo. I ended up with one decent one (through his mouth). I will have to post photos once I do the sucker part. The best thing is that I had them printed at Sams, got 10 free and it only ended up being $6 including tax for 55 of them! I am so sending these to family (they didn't get a Christmas card this year).

cbettua 02-01-2011 02:48 PM

So adorable!

*Celeste* 02-01-2011 03:13 PM

i have the sucker one all ready to go, but silly me i let the boys pick how they wanted it and they are oh so very plain. love these!

sprauncey1 02-01-2011 03:58 PM

Hope its OK Lena I'm just going to add on to your thread, no sense in starting a new one with basically the same thing. Like I said Kyle refused to hold his hand out and smile at the same time, so he ended up with the straw I was using as a prop in his mouth and that is how I ended up with the candy going through his mouth. And for the g-parents, I wont put anything there and keep the photo whole.

And I totally know what you are talking about taking a photo of a photo...not good, they really do look better IRL.

LenaGardner 02-01-2011 04:09 PM

LOL they are so cute! I love it!!!

schock77 02-01-2011 09:58 PM

ADORABLE!

OK I am toootally going to use your ideas Lena! Woohoo, thanks for the inspiration! I was planning on doing something different than this but this wins the price, totally cuter and cheaper! :thumbup:

Only one of them was my idea LOL...the smarties one...I have no idea whose idea the lollipop one was since it was found on pinterest and I never saw it on pinterest, only here.

I'm glad to see so many people doing it; I think it's really cute and I think they are going to go over like crazy at Naomi's ballet Valentine party tomorrow. Parker doesn't really have a party to take his to, I'm just mailing them to a few relatives and he's taking a few to the babysitter's house next Monday (but she only keeps my kids LOL)

I don't know how we'll all top this next year ;)

Hijacking the thread as well. :)

Photo of a photo :D Abby's uses Dani's I Like Love You and JJ's is Julie's Smitten. :)

and my youngest had to have them in bags because of the candy so i did this.

the tags have the kids' names to deliver them to.

LenaGardner 02-11-2011 12:26 PM

That's brilliant, Celeste!!!

Naomi had her Valentine's party last night at ballet and I got a few interesting responses...the moms were looking on the back of them to see where I got them printed at, and then one of them finally asked me. When I told them I created them myself, one or two of them actually acted like they didn't believe me LOL. If I do something like this next year, I'll put them in bags since the sucker made it side heavy and awkward to handle.

kendallt 02-11-2011 12:47 PM

So, just curious...how big is the finished product? 4 x 6-ish??

I totally love this idea and am hoping to do DD's this weekend! The bag idea is fabulous. Hadn't thought of doing that. :)

Kenzi 02-11-2011 01:24 PM

Super cute idea! I'm going to have to remember this for next year, although I doubt my boys will cooperate for it *sigh*

I did 4x6's. JJ's are bagged with a toy story pencil and Abby's have foam cards glued to the back with her classmates names on them.

CA Dreamer 02-11-2011 01:51 PM

Me too! Love this idea. And,DS loved it too!

sprauncey1 02-12-2011 09:49 AM

Everyone loved mine and laughed (which is fine). I did 4x6 since this is what Sam's Club prints and it really was super cheap! I have to be picky about the candy DS gets because of his peanut allergy so for me I was going to buy candy/cards separately anyway. I sent mine of to the all the grandparents/great-grandparents yesterday. Oh well they will be late, but with the crazy snow..can't be helped.
