Funny, I was just thinking about this ole valentine and wondering where it went. I was organizing our dusty exercise equipment yesterday and saw it shoved in a corner. I gave this to my husband, before he was my husband, probably 7 or 8 years ago. It's a great idea for a thoughtful valentine that you can make yourself.
For the card itself, I printed on vellum and glued (probably Xyroned) the vellum onto zexy snakeskin/croc? decorative paper, then stuck that on a blank black card. Not sure why I had or used black, it seems an odd choice for me but anyway...
For the sentiments, I think what I did was just print all 50 on each piece of paper (I picked a textured white, a vellum and a red) then only used 17 or so little notes from each paper type, and tossed the rest. I'm sure I used a rotary cutter, too, I'm awful at cutting straight lines with scissors. So, so easy and sweet, I think the hardest part was coming up with the 50 "things."

I did a version of this for two friends' 40th birthdays. I found a pretty box and wrote "40 things I love about you..." and then inside were 40 envelopes with handwritten or typed reasons. Definitely heartfelt and worth the effort!
great blog thanks for the tips valentines day was awsome!!
