I was inspired last year when I saw a very similar Valentine printable from The Crafting Chicks. I totally didn't come up with this one on my own...those Crafting Chicks are the genius behind the message/non-candy Valentine. But, I wanted to design one especially for my kids' to use this year and let them actually help with the design aspects (my way of not totally doing it all for them). Both boys agreed on the stripes for the background. And my older son fell in love with the "line-y font" as he called it (is it strange that my seven-year-old knows what a font is? He's been hearing about them his whole life!) {I've been a font junkie since the nineties!}
Anyway. Ordered some ridiculously inexpensive bouncy balls from Oriental Trading and we were set. I used old treat bags that I had from the mustache chocolates at the Mario Party for the balls...I just cut them in half so they weren't so long.
Hope you have a fabulous Valentine's Day!!

This is a PDF (which will stay true to size). Designed to fit over treat bags (not zip top bags...although in a pinch you could fold your zip top bag under the stapled area.)
