Free Downloadable Classroom Valentines!
Every year I design special Valentines for my kids to pass out at school. Sadly, I am afraid this may be the last time I am asked to do this. My baby is headed to middle school next year, and I can already feel the bittersweet transition approaching.
Since my firstborn went to preschool (umm... who is now almost 15?!?), I have annually created something special for each of my kids. From dogs, cats, hamsters, and now guinea pigs, all of the family pets have made appearances. This year is the year of the guinea pig, and my son Sully's two squeaky little guys are the cover models; Winston and Phil. I have to admit, I never wanted to have stinky guinea pigs as pets. But as you may have predicted, I am a total convert. Shocking, I know. The joy these little furballs have brought to our home is something I never saw coming. I guess love really is in the air, right?
Need some unique and adorable classroom Valentine's Day cards on the fly? I gotchu. Just download it here and choose from three color options: pink, purple, or Winston brown. Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! I hope your kids don't eat as much candy as mine tend to! ;)

P.S. – Can I design some for your kiddos next year to distract me from my sadness? Because I’m not quite ready to let go of this tradition just yet.
Sully's Guinea Pigs are famous!
The real Phil (named after Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog)
Winston IRL, is named after a character in the Brambly Hedge children's book series.
Design from last year, with our dog Olive as the theme.
2020 design, inspired by our favorite little hamster, Hammy
