The Game of Love

Pinned it and Did it!

I saw this on Pinterest, and since I'm in my pinned it and did it -- and blog it-- I had to share. 

It's tasteful, I promise.

The GAME of LOVE

This game is for you and your partner to play, alone :)  There are game squares that have things to do in them to keep the "game" moving without any thought.  Since you make the game yourself, you get to make those game square say whatever you want to happen too :)  You can have a die to play with (that has a 1 or 2) but we just played them in order from top to bottom, otherwise it just goes to fast.

I purchased a sheet on clearance at BBBeyond.  The pin said fitted, but flat was all they had, so I made it work.  The pinner also put it on her mattress and did all the work, even stood the mattress up.  No thankyou.  I wanted to do this, but that was way too much work.  Thankfully my dining room table is large enough to complete the project.  

This is the materials used.

ruler for straight edge
red and black thick sharpie
tape (to keep the sheet in place)
greeting card with fun curves

I did some planning ahead of time.  Using the org pinners sheet as inspiration and copied a few items, I drew out boxes/lines on paper.  It worked to have 7 rows with 7 columns.  We have a thing about 7s.  I merged this idea with all the valentine ideas that use food as a way to express feelings.  ie, Hot Tamale candy, and gave it to him as I told him he was my "hot tamale".  I did 10 of these, so I spaced out 10 "presents" on the sheet.  Then filled in the rest.  Sorry I had to heart some out :)  Use your OWN imagination to do your own.

I wrote out the words The Game of Love.  I did chunky letters for the T G and L all in black.

Then drew in little red hearts in those chunky T G and L letters.

Made a little red dash line under THE GAME OF LOVE before starting on the boxes below.  I made all the game squares in red and wrote the words in black.  Using the greeting card with the fun curves on it, I created the top and the bottom of the square, and drew a line to connect the top and bottoms, see below.

fyi.. x are kisses and o is hugs...renew me is actually "lotion me up".. renew is the brand we use.

We each did each thing to each other, unless of course it's something that requires 2 :)

Something fun I added too was I "heart" you b/c (because) and we shared something we loved about each other.  I did this several times.  Also, there are hearts you can see in the photo below connecting to a square, this was a lead to show how to move through the squares.  We didnt start each row over, it was left to right, right to left, and so on.. with 7 rows, the end is at the bottom right.

So, when our date night was over, it was folded up and can be used again whenever we want.  Next time he gets to pick the presents for ME!!!  Enjoy!
