Feeling shy about spelling out your valentine messages? Try a technique long favored by secret admirers everywhere: using symbols and pictures in place of words.

Prep Time: Under 1 hour
What you need:
 Colored markers
Old magazines
Scissors
Glue
Unlined paper
Lace or other trimming (optional)
Seasons: Valentine's day
Materials: paper
Instructions:
1.Scan the magazine pages for photos or sketch objects that you can use to represent specific words. for example, you can use a picture of a knot for the word "not," a tin can for the verb "can" or an eye for "I."
2.Make a list of letters that sound like whole words, such as b for "be," c for "see," r for "are," t for "tea," u for "you" or y for "why."
3.Think of numbers that can substitute for words, such as 2 for "to" or "too," and 8 for "ate."
4.Then cut and paste those symbols onto a heart shaped piece of unlined paper to create the desired message.

Variations
You can trim the heart with lace to add a little flare. Measure the lace, cut and paste it around the edge.
