My husband and I aren't what you would call a lovey couple. So our Valentine's day doesn't usually come with candy hearts with sweet sayings or mushy bad poetry Hallmark cards.

Last year I posted a series of Valentine's Day cards that could be downloaded and printed to give to your loved ones. This year I would love to do the same thing but I need some help. Last years cards included pirates , zombies , squirrels and Mr. T ....I know, I know, how in the hell can you top Mr. T? Well I have some crafty followers and I think it can be done! So what I need are some good (and kind of stupid funny) Valentine's day card ideas. Please post a comment with your ideas. If the idea makes me laugh I will turn it into a downloadable card and post them the week of Valentine's day. Please keep in mind that I like raunchy however I would like to not be blatantly pornographic, be crafty I love some good innuendo.
