Valentine Card Challenge - Page 2

Norcross, today known as Hallmark, began to manufacture Valentine cards in the early 1900s. Each year, Hallmark displays antique Valentine cards in their stores. Rare Valentines can also be seen in museums and libraries. These cards are wonderful. If you have a chance, be sure to take a close look.

Today, because of our busy lives, we usually buy Valentine cards. This year, I challenge you to use the information in this article to create your own beautiful Valentines. Everyone will love them. Remember, a handmade Valentine is very special to parents and grandparents.

Here is a modern Valentine card. Yes, even Disney has Valentines.

Note:

If you make your own Valentine cards and have a scanner, please send me a copy of your card. My e-mail is red@suite101.com. I will post it in a discussion at Kids' Korner and the whole world will be able to view it.

The Valentine below is one from my postcard collection. This one is circa 1920.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
