When I saw this Paint Chip Valentine idea at Be Different Act Normal I was inspired to do something for Valentines with paint swatches.
They're so colorful. Full of possibility.
This is what I came up with.
Ladybug helped make these cute book markers for her teachers. This idea comes from Family Fun, but I used the paint swatches instead of paper. This craft is a great way to use last years calendar, too!
For her preschool teachers we used the sunday thru saturday top of the calendar.
For other instructors that she sees on a specific day of the week, we used that day's column of the calendar.
Then I made some little matchbooks.
These are so fun. I love a cute matchbook.
Just embellish the front cover with hearts, stamps, doilies, or yo-yos. It makes a cute favor.
For the pages inside I used notebook paper and graph paper.
They're all ready to be filled with sweet love notes on Valentines Day.

LOVE all of these, especially the little matchbook notepads! My girls will LOVE doing them! Thanks for the inspiration.
So super sweet, I love how you used a calendar on the you make my day...how perfect and clever. The matchboxes are cute too, I think I have the same stickers. Very fun!
I have a weird obsession with paint samples. (Silly, I know!) But being able to actually DO something with them? Yay!
Very cute match books. I did a simple framed paint swatch with a heart..come check it out!
