Valentine's Day Card + Gift Guide

Valentine's Day Card + Gift Guide

Valentine's Day gift guide

Custom House Portrait Art

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Maybe it's because I just had a baby, but holy moly where did the time go?! If you are just now thinking about your Valentines like me, here is a Valentine's Day gift guide. I also sprinkled in my favorite Valentine's Day photo cards and classroom cards. First up is the Valentine's Day gift I got for Mikes. We just moved into our first home together, so I had this Custom House Portrait made. It was so special for us to get this home together. If we find ourselves in another home one day, we will always have this portrait as a reminder of our first home together.

Your Vows as a Foil Art Print

I love this idea of Your Vows as a Foil Art Print. Whether you got married this year or ten years ago, it is such a special gift for your significant other. I think it's especially cool if you created your own vows. It's such a beautiful way to display your love for one another.

Surprisingly I got our Christmas cards out this year, and I got them out on time. This is almost unheard of in my world.

Lauren Chism is one talented cookie.
