Design: Superman Valentine Box

I was excited to see Carter's preschool class was having an official Valentine party, I have so many fun memories of making Valentines & Valentine boxes with my dad.

I wasn't surprised when I asked Carter what kind of box he wanted that his eyes lit up and he proclaimed "Superman"!

We used a box from Target's party supply aisle, wrapping paper, construction paper, and tissue paper for the cape.

Now we just need to add his name to the belt and we're set! The best part? Carter (aka Superman) LOVES it!

I'd call his first Valentine box a success.

We just announced the news publicly that we're expecting baby #3 in June 2014! For the digi announcement I wanted to create something a little more unique to our family, so since Carter is REALLY in to superheroes right now, that was my next logical step.

I started by having Carter assign a superhero role to the baby (he's given the entire family roles - I'm Wonder Woman, duh), and he selected Green Lantern. Not the most popular superhero, but his choice nonetheless. Then I used the boys Halloween costumes to create a before & after type pic.

It turned out just the way I'd hoped.

As a throwback, here's how we announced #2 (AKA Wesley :).

I love this one too, but seeing how quickly Carter has grown makes my heart ache!

Now we wait another month to find out if it'll be a super little guy or a super little girl!
