Mother's Day is less than a few weeks away and if you haven't thought about how to show your appreciation for mom just yet, don't fret. I have been working on a new silhouette collection to help you create a one-of-a-kind Mother's Day gift that she's sure to love! Choose from three different printable art prints to personalize with your family's silhouettes for up to 7 individuals.

Don't let those special moments you've captured sit stale on your camera or computer, instead create an unforgettable keepsake that will serve as a reminder of how much she is loved.  

Each silhouette is meticulously created and prepped as a digital file ready to be printed, framed and added to your family's heirloom to be cherished forever. Print from home, send it to a local photo lab or print shop. For best results, print on heavy card stock or photo paper.

To ensure you receive your digital printable in time for Mother's Day, be sure to place your order by Monday, May 2nd. I look forward to helping you make Mother's Day as exceptional as the recipient of this very special keepsake! View the full collection in the shop here.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if you're still looking for some fun gift ideas sans candy for the kiddos, I've created a few just for you along with free printables! 

YOU KNOCK MY SOCKS OFF, VALENTINE!

I found some really cute critter socks at Target and at a $1 a pair and a fair amount of designs to choose from (think Owl, Penguin, Bear, Monkey, etc), you can't go wrong with this idea. Simply print out the free printable topper and adhere or staple over the existing topper. You can also grab some cello bags to house any socks of your choosing like these adorable heart ones from Gymboree. 

EYE THINK YOU ROCK

These "Eye Think You Rock" tag and card printables are inspired by the familiar snellen chart you see at your optometrist's office. Package a pair of sunglasses or any fun shaped glasses in a cello bag with twine and printable tag or attach it on the printable card (doubles as a bookmark!) with some washi tape. Either way, kids will love receiving a pair.

YOU ARE REMARKABLE

Gift a budding artist with a fun colorful marker to add to their art box while letting them know how remarkable they are with this idea. Simply take the fine tip marker and insert it through the printable flags. Any fine tip marker will work, but I especially like these washable and non-toxic fine tip markers from Target. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO AN EGGXTRAORDINARY FRIEND

Last, but certainly not least, I love the possiblilty with this one. Who says plastic eggs are only for Easter? Fill the eggs up with fun trinkets like stickers, plastic toy, erasers, bracelets, hair clips, etc. and add a little festive filler. Wrap it up with cellophane paper, tie it off with some twine, add the printable tag, and you're done. 

There you have it! I hope you have fun making these as much as I had fun creating them. Enjoy the free printables and have a wonderful Valentine's with your loved ones!

XOXO
