Nine-year-old Jacob Berti of Old Hickory, Tennessee, can't hide his feelings -- that most valentines are a bit too lovey-dovey. His camouflage solution turns card giving into a covert operation with an easy-to-spot message of friendship.

Materials

• Scissors
• Camouflage scrapbooking paper (available at most craft stores)
• Light-colored card stock or paper

• Glue stick
• Marker

Instructions

1. Cut a large heart from the camouflage paper and a smaller one from the lighter paper. (Ours measure 5 1/2 inches and 3 1/2 inches across.) Or use our template.
   

2. Glue the hearts together and add your message.
   
   
   Suggested messages:
   You're out of sight, valentine!
   I can't hide it: I think you're cool
   I can't hide my feelings for you
