Our first ever DIY Valentine Card Swap was a big success! You guys sent in pictures of crafty, creative, cute, and sweet cards galore, and we’re dedicating several posts to showcase all your wonderful designs over the next couple of days.
Here’s the first batch! We had so much fun with this… perhaps we’ll make it a yearly tradition.

Those are amazing! Everyone did such a wonderful job, I feel like a bum for not participating!
Thanks for hosting this fun activity, I will upload mine tonight when I get home. You are so awesome Mrs. Bee and all of the Weddingbee bloggers.
These are awesome, and so much fun. And I have to admit…I can’t wait to see if mine makes it up there.
Wow, we have such talented readers! Thank you all for participating.
These all kick-ass! I love em!!! Way to go awesome readers!
These cards are so beautiful! “U Rock” might be a favorite
I am just in total AWE of everyone!
On the one hand, I’m so sad that I didn’t participate, and on the other hand, I’m glad I didn’t because I totally would have embarassed myself with my 1st grade arts & crafts skills. I mean, look at the amazing work our bees and readers are capable of!

The card exchange was so much fun! Of course I learned the lesson of figuring out your envelope size when designing your card size…
Wow, the cards are all sooooo cute. I missed out on participating this year but would love to do it next year..
Connie T. - Can I ask where you go the pic of the two birds with the heart. It’s just adorable!
this was a great idea!! encore, encore!
Can someone tell me where Jennifer B bought the heart coasters?
iheartq - I just tweeked the tail on the birds from this image (http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=1596930) and used a heart from an illustration I created back in college. Let me know if you need any help!
I got one of the rocks! It’s WONDERFUL and the FH loved it too =)
