Last Minute Valentine Card / Gift

Alan and I do not typically make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. We usually make a nice meal at home, exchanges cards and maybe a small gift, such as candy, and enjoy the evening watching a movie or playing a board game. 

I do not anticipate this year to be any different. I however, procrastinated on making a card. I wanted it to be fun and different from the typical. I grabbed a Sharpie, pad of Post-Its, and my camera and went to work. 

I started with these 2 photos:

 

 I then wrote out a sticky note with a reason why, stuck it to something related, took a photo, and repeat.

 

Before getting too carried away, I wrote out these two.

Then thinking Dakota and Jaffery might want to say something...

 

 I then quickly printed all the photos on our wonderful Canon printer (Alan was in the office doing homework, so I had to hang out so he didn't see what I was printing).

I then found ribbon, adhesive, and a couple pieces of 4x6 cardstock.

I first attached the cardstock on the ribbon, making one the "cover" and one the inside of the card. I then attached each photo on the ribbon, leaving a little bit of space between each photo to allow for folding everything together.

 Here is what the final product looked like:
