There are few things that make me as happy as crafting up some sweet Valentines with my little lady, so much so that I’m hoping both of my daughters will be down with doing this until they are at least in high school. 😉 This was the first year that we actually created our own, we have been sending out cards since Waverly was born (you can see last year’s here), but I knew I wanted Waverly to be more involved this year!
To get inspired, we headed to Target (as we always do), and picked out our favorite treat that had enough pink & red covering it. We both love Boom Chicka Pop so we went with that, which if you have never had it you should, it is totally amazing & completely addicting. My job was to create the cards to go with it (I use Serif Craft Artist for this sort of thing & love it), Waverly’s was to add the stickers and stamp the outside of the envelope.
Waverly loved it & lasted about five cards in, which honestly impressed me for a two-year old. I finished while she played, I love this picture of her & her new face lately, I have no idea where she learned it but I can’t get enough!

Here are our finished Valentines, Waverly Maye’s first ever! 🙂
We sent our Valentines to some of Waverly’s friends in VB, mainly family & kids of our friends, plus we were so excited to be a part of a few gift exchanges with some of our favorite bloggers! It has been SO much fun going to the mailbox for the past couple of weeks and opening up the cutest messages & treats from sweet babes all over the country (plus Canada!). I will be sharing the blogs from one of the exchanges next week when the rest of the group posts, & in the meantime, look below Waverly’s cute Valentines for a list of some amazing blogs!

Five cards is pretty impressive for a two year old. She looks so enthralled in your pictures. I love lil kid valentine's cards, they are just too cute. I admit though, I thought the card's would say BOOM it's Valentine's day….ooops. Can you tell I'm not a mom, yet?
A gift exchange, how fun. You got some great goodies! Have a great day!
I love the "Home Alone" picture! She's so cute! This is such a fabulous idea–love it!
Thank you so much for participating in the exchange! Elin LOVED the popcorn!!!
That face and those Valentines Day cards are just adorable! Plain and simple.
How CUTE are your Valentines?! Our homemade ones actually look homemade (and horrible, but Mia's scribbles are cute, ha ha!) Next year I will definitely be on the ball with some AMAZING Valentines to send out… since we won't be in the middle of a move like this year, ha!
Caleb has a little face that he makes that reminds me of that one that Waverly is making! We love it when he does that – too cute:) And, ok, so we have never tried Boom Chicka Pop. Where do we find this amazing concoction? I've heard great things! It looks perfect for the cute little valentines that you made!:)
I loved your Valentine and O loved the snacks! xoxo
Those are adorable! I love that popcorn!!

Love the Boom Valentines! Is Craft Artist easy to use? I've been wanting to make my own cards for certain occasions. This may be just what I need…
These are adorable 🙂 Love them
Ahhh so much love!!! So stinkin' cute!! xx
I love the pictures of her making the Valentine's! She looks like she's concentrating so hard… Valentine making is a hard job! And that face… too funny and too cute!
oh my goodness I love her face and look at all the goodies you got!! I need to blog our stuff asap!
Love love love! I think you win for "favorite" Valentine at our house. Mac ripped into that popcorn so fast! And the dogs got some too! Big hit! 🙂 Thanks so much!
Aria looooved her popcorn Valentine! She asked for more the rest of the day. Thanks so much for sending us a Valentine!
This was so much fun! I'm so glad that we got to be a part of this. I'm sorry that I didn't post a picture of Waverly's Valentine, as we haven't received it yet… Hopefully, it arrives today! Looking forward to doing this again!
OH my gosh, cutest Valentine EVER!
What an adorable idea for Valentine's Day!
And Waverly's new face is priceless!
Seriously, loved your valentine… because I ate half! So good! 😉
How creative! My kiddos loved the Valentine popcorn (and so did I!…I snuck a taste!).
We loved your Valentine so much! Waverly's chambray heart shirt is adorable, and I'm impressed she was able to help so much! Looks like you got some great goodies from the different exchanges! Thanks again 🙂
LOVE boom chicka pop and SUCH a cute idea! Is her shirt from Target? I think I saw that yesterday and almost snagged it for Ady!
Your valentines were SO CUTE and yummy, thank you again for the sweet gift!! xo!
Arden was SO excited about the boom chicka pop–and so was I! It inspires me to buy two giant bags at target the next day, haha! Happy Valentines Day friend!!!
Such cute Valentine’s!! And I love Waverly’s expression in that picture. Precious!
