I’ve had a pack of printable magnet paper lying around for a while and was waiting for a great project! I thought that magnets that looked like flair pins would be really fun and cute and the perfect thing to hand out for a non-candy valentine option!

This was such an easy project, just took a little bit of time to cut everything out. You could just do one magnet per card to make the printable go even further.

What I love about these is that they’re great for any age! I love them, I mean, I made them for me (and to send to Malissa) but when my three year old saw them cut out, she kept saying how much she loved them! She kept laying them out and picking her favorites! This may be why I do so well with children… haha! But really, I think they’re just likable no matter what age you are. And while these definitely skew female (think Galentine’s Day!) there are plenty of boy-appropriate ones to.

Basically all my favorite clipart I’ve ever made is on these bad boys! I already decided I need to print another page because I need more to hand out and then I need a page just for me! I need more fridge magnets anyway :)

I wanted to throw in one more quick little Valentine idea in case you’re running really last minute and need a quick fix! I mentioned the other day how I still have tons of 90’s lyric ideas but I decided for this last one, to pay homage to my first ever guilty pleasure pop icon, miss Kelly Clarkson.

Ok, I know that maybe some of the song lyric Valentines we’ve already shared this year, you might consider guilty pleasures. But, for me, they definitely do not fit in to that category! When I was a kid I felt SO COOL listening to Salt N’ Pepa and Britney Spears and you know what? I still do…

But, when I got into high school I hit this major hipster phase in which I “hated” anything popular, especially in the music industry. Except Kelly. I just always really loved Kelly. She has the catchiest tunes (Well, and Katy Perry..) and I just couldn’t help but belt them all out. But I didn’t really admit that to anyone but Malissa…

Then, one day a group of our friends and our brother Steven went to see a movie. This was in 2006 I believe…I remember we saw the sequal to Zorro, I make it a point to not remember what it was called because it literally was the world’s worst movie (also Premonition blows). But, as we were driving home we were having so much fun blasting music and discussing the terribleness we just watched. And then Kelly came on. I don’t even remember what song it was…probably Since U Been Gone…and we all, one by one, admitted how secretly in love with Kelly we were.

I know this sounds so super silly but like I had really cool friends ok? We just didn’t jam with the radio! Haha, no really for some reason we all just said we’d felt kind of embarrassed about it and then died of happiness when every person in the car was like, “No. She’s the bomb.”

And then we all belted out with the radio super loudly and it was the best.
