Valentine 2x4s!

This week between episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show I have made these super cute blocks.

Yep, you heard right, The Dick Van Dyke Show.  I think it is great.  I love the black and white, and the flipped out hair styles, Mary Tyler Moore, the adds for laundry detergant and the beginning of every episode(you can SEE the difference), and the way he can come home and ask his wife, "Why aren't you slaving over a hot stove making my dinner?"  It is hilarious. 

Back to the blocks...

Just a couple of different ideas.

(These bears were so simple too. 

I just took bears we already had, cut out felt hearts, added some stitching, then attached them to their little hands.)

I cut the 2x4 and sanded them smooth.

After a coat of paint I sanded the edges.

Then stained the wood to give it a richer look.  This really made a difference on the white block b/c it helps the wood to stand out against the white.

I used the Doodlecharms cartridge for the hearts and the Alphaliscious cartridge for the font.

These blocks have been so much fun to make! 

I think the little sweet heart block is my favorite.
