valentine's DIY

Last year for Valentine's Day instead of making a card, I made my husband a list of things I love about him.  52 reasons, to be exact.  I originally found the idea on Pinterest (originally from here), and loved the idea so much.  It's a creative way to organize a list and it's a great keepsake. 

We had extra decks of cards around the house and then I just had to come up with a list.  Sometimes I found it hard to verbalize the reasons (especially since there isn't a lot of space on each card!), but it's a really good exercise to think of all the wonderful things about your significant other. 

Once I had my list, I took leftover paper from when we made our wedding programs and wrote out each reason.  I used Mod Podge to secure the pieces to the cards.  I then punched holes in each card (using the Joker or rules card as the template for the holes).  I put them all in order and bound them with one inch rings from an office store. 

It's not a difficult craft, but my husband was really surprised and he really loved it!

Are you making anything special for your valentine this year?
