For those of you who are new...I have a tradition of making silly/cheesy kid's Gatch/BOTP Valentines this time of year. It's great fun...and this year I got a little carried away! I made 40 new Valentines (I may have repeated myself from previous years on a few, though...) I'll post a few here and then give a link to the rest on Jun's Joint...because I just can't imagine getting all 40 of those suckers posted here! Jun's Joint Valentine Archive Here is a link to a previous thread full of some of my original goofy Valentines... Old Valentine Thread I'd love to see what you can do! I used this website to make my cards...it was very easy...all I had to do was upload a screenshot and then add my own cheesy lines! Here's a link to the website in case you want to make some more cards... V. Card Maker

Those are great Springie. I don't recognize any of those ones you posted. I will have to spend some time looking through the ones on your site though. I had a good laugh at the Jinpei one and for some reason the Condor looks particularly smexy in the racing heart one.

ooooh... so many I just wanna mwoooooooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrr at...so I am!

Springie, ou are so awesome at these! I just know I could never come up with anything to match your brilliance!

Oh Springie those are amazing. I snickered over a few of them and loved everyone. Great job!

OMG, these are fantastic Springie! My favorite is the one of Joe of course. Just looking at him "makes my heart race"!!

Those are amazing, Springie ... I love all of them ... pictures, brilliant messages, and all!! My favourite is not surprisingly one of Ken's, the one having "Coffee? Tea? Or me?" ... tee hee, as if he needs an answer! You've also nailed the expression!

Great work, Springie! You come up the best phrases to go with the images! I can't see the gallery at Jun's Joint, though -it's asking me for a password.

I agree! This one's my favourite from the "old" thread.

Looks like eps 86, 56, 39, 73 and 67 to me...

Thanks, LB! That looks right to me! I wish we all could have our little Valentine bags/boxes out so that we could give out the cards... Question for you: 1. Which of these cards would you have wanted to find in your Valentine bag/box? 2. Are there any that stand out that you'd want to give to someone here?

Here's a smaller version of all of the sets...

I'll start by passing one out to everyone in this thread... CD- Easy one...A Ryu for you! Green- One of our Condor girls...here's one of my fav Condor cards... TJ- So many I could choose for you! But this one reminded me of the cruise...it's so you! Puffles- Another easy one! Keyop/Jinpei for you! Marindoll- Here's another Condor girl...Joe is bringing you flowers...how sweet! Gatchamarie- A fellow Eagle/ Swan girl...here's another fav of mine... LB- I just *had* to give you this one...I love how cheesy the wording turned out...but Joe is still a hottie! Allentown- A fellow Eagle/ Swan fan...here's another of my favs Becky- And last, but not least (hope I haven't left anyone out from this thread)...another Condor for another Condor gal...one of my fav Joe scenes...

Awwwww..... Valentines from SPringie! I love you too, Baybee!

Teehee...I thought it might be fun to pass them out like we do in my class!

Oh Springie those are amazing!!! You are definitely a talented lady.

Springie thank you so much, I love that one of Jinpei Keyop.

Springie, Merci beaucoup! All of the Valentine's are fantastic, but to see Joe bringing me flowers makes me swoon! Hugs to you!

Oh, Springie! You couldn't have chosen a better one for me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear! Love to you also!

Okay, I'll pull out my old cheesy Valentines. For the ladies... For the guys...

A big thank you from me for your wonderful Valentine card, TJ! I'm overjoyed ... now I've got one from my Eagle and one from the Condor!! Following TJ's footsteps, I'm sending a Valentine card to all the ladies and the gentlemen around!! The guys shouldn't be offended since there might seem to be only one for them, instead of the two for the ladies! ... one is for Springie who's free to choose her favourite for herself (forgiving me for the poor quality of the pictures and my poor attempt!) ... it's the least I can do to reciprocate! For the ladies: For the gentlemen:

Those are wonderful, Marie! You did a fabulous job!

Those are great Marie. Thank you for the special Valentine Springie. I am not sure if I could set any up for people seeing as I can not get images to attach as yet.

TJ, I LOVE those! Joe with flowers is such a perfect Valentine's image! And Marie...those are FABULOUS! I get my own special one? I don't know if I could choose...they're both so wonderful! Thank you! CD...I'll be happy to help you by uploading to my Photobucket if you'd like me to...just let me know!

Thank you Springie and wonderful artworl, Marie! I wish I was that talented.

TJ & Marie - You both did a fantastic job making those.

Great Valentines, TJ and Gatchamarie!

Originally posted by Springie LB- I just *had* to give you this one...I love how cheesy the wording turned out...but Joe is still a hottie!

The wording is what makes it so great! That and the fact that he looks murderous more than romantic -so very Joe! I also love the "You are deer to me" one with Ryu and the baby deer! With regard to baby animals, here's an old one of mine. And a manipulation of an old pic

Wow, I really like the one of Jun and Joe dancing. So romantic and just the right feeling for the special day.

Is it Jun and Joe dancing? I thought it was Jun and Ken... but the nose looks like Joe. If you cover up the nose, it's Ken to a T! But the nose is Joe. Hey... that's the best Valentine's present of all! Jun has BOTH guys dancing with her!

The jaw also makes me think of Joe. But the eyes definitely say Ken to me.

Love these, LB! The Jun and Ken dancing pic is one of my favorites of yours! (imagine that!)

Originally posted by clouddancer The jaw also makes me think of Joe. But the eyes definitely say Ken to me.

It's supposed to be Ken. I can't find the screencap that I used for a reference (would have been nearly 2 years ago and the computer I had then died) but I do remember it was from Gatch II. Perhaps that, or more likely, my lack of drawing skill, likely explains any Joe-like aspects. http://lborgia88.deviantart.com/art/Undercover-121463115 All I did here was try to make Ken look less grim, and be looking at Jun instead of Joe and his "date."

Yep, looking at Jun is far better. I knew it had to be Ken, with those bright blue eyes!

Oops, double post.

Aha, turns out I still did have the screencap I used as a reference for Ken's face. And even the one I used for his hair too. I really need to organize my images better. The screencaps for ep reviews are all in numbered folders but the rest are a mish-mash!

Ahhh, now I can see why you drew the longer hair in your picture, it made me think of Joe's.

Those are lovely, LB! The second one ... I knew it was Ken at once ... those big blue eyes cannot lie!! And I always like to see Jun with Ken, so I'd like to keep thinking of it that way! *grin* I also love Jun's serene, and amorous expression, and the way she's leaving herself being glided in Ken's arms!

Thought I'd send you all Valentine's wishes early!

Oh, Springie, this is hardly the right thread... this isn't cheesy in the least! It's soft and sweet and wistful....

Absolutely charming, sweet and enduring. Love it.

Beautiful! A perfect picture of tender love! I so like the image of the cape wrapped around the two of them ... it's message is very clear!

What stands out for me is the way the wings flow to form a heart, beautiful depiction of love.

I hope everyone had or will continue to have a good Valentines Day with their Eagle or Condor. I know this is the time of year I most miss having an Eagle of my own. Not sure why since all year should be filled with love and warm thoughts of your loved one, but I guess the commercialism of the day is what makes it sink in more for me.

If it makes you feel better, CD, I have an Eagle and we basically did nothing special for Valentine's, unless you count my making cupcakes over the weekend.

but you must have at least received a kiss and a hug. I think that is what I really miss (if it is miss when you have never had any) is the little displays of love/endearment.
