Valentine's Day Cards 2013

I think hand made Valentine's Day cards are a beautiful thing.  Not necessarily because of the skill shown in the card making itself, but because someone took the time to lovingly think about you and make something that is truly from the heart.  They are old fashioned in the best kind of way. The oldest Valentine known to be in existence is from 1400.  In the 1800's in Europe the Valentine Card was the gift one would receive from an admirer.  So in this day of email, text, and skype, I think it's really sweet to make your own Valentines for those you love.
