Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Galentine's Day? Palentine's Day? Or do you prefer to spend the day pampering yourself?
There are many ways to celebrate the holiday including romantic love, platonic love, and self love.
What does Valentine's day look like for you? Red roses? Pink hearts? Champagne? Comfy slippers, a spa treatment, and a box of chocolate?
We want to see your spin on Valentine's Day!
Create a collage or aesthetic board representing your ideal Valentine's Day. Enter by posting an image of your completed board in this thread no later than February 16, 2025 at 11:59pm EST.

For example, you can use magazine pictures, online images, photos, pressed flowers, lace, stickers, etc. If you use someone else's artwork in your entry, we ask that you respectfully give credit to the original artist in your post. You may, of course, use your own artwork as well.

FAQ
What type of materials may I use?
Any crafting materials are acceptable along with photos, artwork, images, stickers, clipart, emojis, and more. If you have doubts about something you want to use, please ask.
Am I allowed to craft or draw things to include in my collage?
Absolutely! You may use pre-made items or craft items yourself. You may use images you find or create your own. Also, feel free to use a mixture of both!
May I use AI generated art in this event?
The use of AI generated art is heavily discouraged because most AIs are built with models that use art without permission, and so this qualifies as stolen art. With that said, since you are allowed to use images you did not create, I will not be checking closely for these types of things. However, we kindly ask you to refrain from using AI.
Do I need to provide references for my artwork or the images I use?
We respectfully ask that if you use another artist's work in your completed entry, please credit the original artist. While not a hard requirement, it is common etiquette that we would prefer you to observe. References for your own artwork may be included at your discretion, but are not required.
Love is love!
