Random Gift for Rob

My best friend, Andrea Tiffany, introduced me to this blog called 'Love, Actually'.  And... I LOVE IT!  I saw this crafty idea on their site and had to do it for Rob!

It's called 52 Reasons Why I Love You


What you do is get a deck of cards and write out a list of 52 reasons why you love whoever you are giving the cards to!  For this deck, I used some free cards I got, a black, red, and silver permanent marker, a heart hole punch, and red ribbon.

I think they turned out pretty nice!


For the Clubs and the Spades, I wrote in red permanent marker.



For the Hearts and Diamond suits, I wrote in black permanent marker.




For all the face cards, I wrote first in silver permanent marker then writing over it in corresponding black or red.  I thought it really enhanced the words!  (Sorry the Queen is kind of a fuzzy picture. It says, "I love when you draw me pictures".)

My sister, Kymi, was awesome enough to help me heart hole punch them!



Then I tied them together with some red ribbon.  And Voila!  :)

Rob REALLY loved them!  He thought they were awesome and that I'm amazing (he couldn't believe I thought of 52 reasons why I love him, lol silly boy).
