Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I created a free printable for you to use! I hope you enjoy these Valentine postcards; feel free to give them to your friends, family and the ones you love most in life!

You can print and use as they are, or you can get really creative and embellish them with glitter…lace…the options are endless! Enjoy! Print instructions are below…

With Love,

Mellie

*Printing Instructions*

  • Select and print the front image of the postcards.
  • Place printed pieces of paper directly back into the printer’s paper tray in the same direction as they came out of the printer after printing (try to say that three times fast!).
  • Select the postcard’s back image and print.
  • Voila! A fully printed postcard on the front and back!

Card stock works wonderful for printing these and is sold most places that have paper. If you don’t have any card stock on hand and you’re in a pinch, I have been known to print on regular paper and have used double-sided tape to stick onto another piece of paper to make it a bit more sturdy!

I might be a person who regularly listens to Burl Ives.

I also might be a person who enjoys the thought of bugs doing “people things.”

When I was a kid, I watched the movie Summer Magic, I don’t know how many times. I loved it, but most of all, I loved this little song.

Enjoy! I hope it makes your heart happy.

My Projects

~Art and Soul~

I am starting this blog, because I have decided to follow a lifelong dream. A dream that grew from being a child who drew simple drawings, decorated them with glitter glue, wrote a few words to go along with them, and stapled those papers together.

Simple books, made by a young girl.

Years went by, life happened, and that girl forgot about those pictures and words…for a while, but not forever.

Needless to say, it has felt like the time to create, to start creating those “heart stories,” to make them come “alive.” I love to paint, and I love to make up stories. SO, I have started creating my first real picture book.

This blog is going to be a creative outlet for me. A place for me to create an environment for myself, and for anyone else who wants to join me in my adventure! A place for me to share things that inspire me, pique my interest, and spark a soul with joy.

Thank you for visiting; I hope you enjoy my heart and the work that I do.
