Homemade Valentines {“POP” Shots}
While taking care of our grands in WA, we made some Valentines together. They are a snap to get ready for the parties ahead.
After taking a picture holding an imaginary lollipop, upload your photo to your favorite edit page, I used Picnik. Add borders, text and stickers and send them off to a photo developer. It ran about $3.00 per photo for 25 @ Costco, and they were ready in a hour. Jake, Shelby and Lizzy selected their lollipops for their friends.
I cut a small slit above and below their hand with my exacto knife where we slipped in the lollipop and they are all ready for the big day! No cutting, no glue, no mess, give ’em a try.

Love it!! Very fun! 🙂 Happy Valentine’s day to you….I love your blog!
Absolutely brilliant. I’ve never seen anything like that. Really great idea!
Those are adorable! I love how they turned out.
What a great idea. We’ve already gotten ours this year, but next year, I want to try this. Thank you for sharing.
those are fabulous!
Now, that’s just neat! This ranks up there with your May Pole cupcakes as a top tier cuteness project.
And once again, GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK. I hope to visit Boise through your eyes and camera very soon so start clicking!
Very cute!
Those are adorable!
This is so stinkin’ cute! Love the idea!
So cute!! Glad your time with them was so special. SO fun to see your posts pop up again 🙂
Hugs!
Adorable! I am tucking this idea away for the future. Such fun 🙂
What a great idea for fantastic Valentine cards. I see that my daughter, Erin, (above)already discovered them. I would have sent her this post otherwise. There is still plenty of time to put this together. Thanks for a super idea.
Very cute idea. Happy Valentine’s Day! La
Adorable! My favorite Valentine post I have seen.
I absolutely LOVE this! What a clever idea! I hope I remember this when my babies get a little older!

So very, very cute! It takes personalization to a whole new level Ü and “holding” the candy stick is just toooo cute Ÿ
I hope you don’t mind, but we loved this SO MUCH, that we did a mini blog on your behalf. We wanted our followers to see how creative you are! Here’s a link http://thedailygoodiebag.blogspot.com/2011/02/homemade-valentines-cards-youll-love.html
I’ve always wanted to do these before, too! So cute! I think you need to give credit though to the original idea blogger http://24-7-365.blogspot.com/2009/02/lavish-me-with-praise.html
Thanks Jennifer. I actually made them with friends several years ago. I did not get the idea online, I just shared it!
Maybe you and your friends were the actual original idea makers after all 🙂 Cool!
