52 Reasons Why I Love You

10:33 pm - 01/30/2009
I made my husband a Valentine tonight!

I got the idea off of Craftster.

This was so easy, and took about $3 to make!











We got married on hubby's birthday... obviously.

Sorry some of these were blurry! You get the general idea.

All I used was a deck of cards, a single hole puncher, 1" rings, a bit of ribbon, stickers, printed out the words and most pictures, cut some from magazines, nuts and bolts on the ring for a masculine touch, and rhinestones. It was very simple!

We got married the day before my husbands 30th birthday!

Thank you, I stole the idea from someone else, but did my own spin on it.

yours is very nice, though!
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 04:55 am (UTC)
Really? Mine only took maybe 2 hours, and that was mostly cutting and pasting.
Thank you!

Thanks!

What a fantastic idea! My hubby collects playing cards, I might have to do something similar for him for Vday :D
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 03:21 pm (UTC)
Oh wow that would be really neat. I tried looking for a 'fancier' deck of cards but I went with the original instead.

:)
_fascistpanties 31st-Jan-2009 10:57 am (UTC)
that is so lovely and the card idea is ace *drum noise please*
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 03:20 pm (UTC)
Haha, thank you so much!
shaneyl_lynn 31st-Jan-2009 03:30 pm (UTC)
I love the pickle note.
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 04:05 pm (UTC)
Haha! I do too, most of the 'pages' are cutesy, which is totally opposite of my style, so I had to do some funny ones as well.
iheartastros11 31st-Jan-2009 04:47 pm (UTC)
SO cute! I think I'm going to do a version of this also! :)
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 04:57 pm (UTC)
I'm glad you like it! Please post pictures if you do! :)
earlylight 31st-Jan-2009 06:25 pm (UTC)
This seems off the wall, but what order did you put the cards in?
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 07:16 pm (UTC)
I thought I was the only one who cared! :)

The cards came in order from least to greatest already, when I bought them, so all I did was put the hearts cards at the back. Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts.

:)!
velociraptorx 31st-Jan-2009 07:04 pm (UTC)
I am totally doing this for my hubby for vday & I saw it on craftster too!!
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 07:15 pm (UTC)
I love it, it's such a unique idea. I can't wait to give it to him! :)
drowningmermaid 31st-Jan-2009 07:18 pm (UTC)
That's a totally cute idea! I wish I'd seen this three years ago when I decided to do a 365 days of love (that ended up being a TON of index cards, printer ink, hole punches and a big box to store it all in) for my husband for christmas.

You did a great job and I think your hubby will love it.

Now if I could just find something I can do for my man (that I haven't done before)...
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 07:53 pm (UTC)
Thanks so much!

And I thought 52 was a lot! :)
suzermagoozer 31st-Jan-2009 07:41 pm (UTC)
verrrrrrrry cute!!!!
and good timing, since i am looking for a project like this.


also, we got engaged on my husband's birthday!
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 07:52 pm (UTC)
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! It's so easy to make, too.
writinglighter 31st-Jan-2009 08:33 pm (UTC)
Pretty much the coolest idea I have every seen in my life.
thankyouterror 31st-Jan-2009 08:57 pm (UTC)
Haha, thank you so much!
amloveaffair 1st-Feb-2009 04:43 am (UTC)
I found this via stumbleupon. This is so cute! I might do this! My hubby and I aren't gift givers on v-day but this is sweet!
thankyouterror 1st-Feb-2009 07:35 pm (UTC)
Well, my husband and I give gifts to each other whenever possible!

Heh.
foureyedgirl 1st-Feb-2009 06:58 am (UTC)
So cool!
thankyouterror 1st-Feb-2009 07:34 pm (UTC)
I know I loved it.
silivrenglaur 1st-Feb-2009 07:00 am (UTC)
I saw that on craftster too and made one for my hubby. Im going to post pics after i give it to him just in case he runs across this community. I really enjoyed doing it.
thankyouterror 1st-Feb-2009 07:34 pm (UTC)
Oh neat, I'm excited to see it!
elfie_elfie 1st-Feb-2009 09:37 pm (UTC)
Oh dear. I may have to do this with a Tarot deck. >:-) Excellent use of the love holiday, ms terror!
thankyouterror 1st-Feb-2009 11:54 pm (UTC)
Heh, thank you! We usually don't celebrate Valentine's day, too commercialized. But, anyday is a day to celebrate our marriage. (awwww)

:D
