My funny valentines

On Friday I saw a brief story on the morning news that our local Meals on Wheels organization was collecting homemade Valentine's Day cards to deliver to senior citizens along with their meals. That was a project right up my alley, so over the weekend I decided to make some simple, lighthearted valentines. (I didn't have any time to dilly-dally because the deadline was in just a few days. No pressure!) I love corny valentine puns, and I went all out for these cards. I hope they make the recipients smile!

Note: In each picture the card front is on the left, and the inside is on the right. Because there are quite a few pictures, I'm just going to list the supplies for each card. If you have any questions, leave me a comment and I will respond as soon as I can.
