My children are small enough for them to love seeing their photograph on, well, anything. Last year, I decided to make custom Valentine's Day cards to send to school, and they were a hit.
If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (preferably recent versions), you can make a card like this (except, obviously, with a picture of your child inside):
Don't have Photoshop or Elements? Fear not! I've created a printable that you can use at the bottom.

(Note: If you have trouble finding the "clipping mask" command (as shown in the video) in your version of Photoshop or Elements, try CMD-G or Ctrl-G.)
As promised, here's a printable sheet of Valentine cards that just have a solid heart on them. If you're crafty enough, trace out the shape of the heart as a template, cut out your photos, and glue them on! Even better, get the kids to do it.

Happy Valentine's Day!
