Last minute V-day idea

For Valentines every year Jared and I always stay at home.  I cook him a fancy dinner and we just spend time with eachother.  We don't ever go out and spend a bunch of money either.  I think it's silly to spend a bunch of money on a made up holiday.  Don't get me wrong, I think v-day is fun, I just don't think it's necessary to go all out like some people do. 

Anyway, this year I made Jared some little 'lottery tickets' for his present.  I forgot to take pictures while I made them but they are really easy.  All you need is some cardstock, a white crayon, a little paint brush, and some acrylic paint.

Print or write on the cardstock.  You can write things like "Get out of a dirty job", "You're dirty! Let's take a bath", or "Let's get dirty on a trip to ..." just something cute that you can incorporate the word 'dirty' into.  Then use white crayon to color over the text that you will be painting over.  (This allows the paint to be scratched off easily).

Use a circle stencil (I made mine out of cardstock) to paint over the text.  I put on 2 coats of paint and then touched up where needed after it had dried.

To spruce it up a bit I glued some cute craft paper onto the back and tied them together with a ribbon.



I think any guy would love these... or girl :)
