We wear a lot of tutus in our house. And by we, I do mean all of us. Dress-up is quite popular here. So when I was thinking about what to do for my 2 year olds valentines it was almost a no-brainer. I LOVE the lollipop in the fist photo Valentine, but I knew there was no way I was going to get my 2 year old to do that in a picture. I'm lucky if she even looks at the camera! There's a lot of bribing when I take her picture which may or may not involve a lot of candy... Anyway, one thing I do not have to bribe her to do is wear a tutu, which is how I came up with this. Now I can't stop thinking of adorable dress-up valentine ideas. Have a bee costume lying around? Bee Mine! Kiddo was an animal for Halloween? I'm Wild About You! Apparently I need to stock up on costumes! This card was very easy to make in Photoshop Elements. I just opened the picture and added the words. I'll have them printed at Costco, although I could just as easily print them at home. I took 85 pictures to get this one, by the way. 85!! Thank goodness for digital photography!

I love this idea and will try with my little girls. 85 pics...I can SO relate! Our Christmas picture took no less than 142 tries because my 2.5 year old has decided she's done with mom's camera catching her every move! *LOL* Great blog and I'm a new follower.

Hi Michelle! I'm glad you like it! We had a similar Christmas picture issue. I could NOT get both girls in one picture so I gave up and went with individual pictures of each girl. I'm always on a mission to get a cute picture of them together!!
