Since Valentine's and the 100th day of school tend to go together, it's fun to combine the themes. This poster of my younger son that we made for his 100 days of kindergarten project still brightens our hallway three years later.
What Daddy wouldn't turn to mush at receiving a poster of himself with his daughter for Valentine's day? This poster is about 20" long and 15" wide. It was printed on letter sized paper, the white edges were cut off, then the pieces were arranged and taped with double stick tape to a sturdy piece of tag board. For Caleb's poster above we left the white borders on and covered the poster with 100 kisses made from a rubber stamp and red ink. Here is the step by step instructions for printing your own valentine poster.
Using Microsoft Publisher 2007, the "how to" is easy.
1. Open Publisher and click on 
>blank page sizes>posters>22x17 (or whatever size you want.)
>blank page sizes>posters>22x17 (or whatever size you want.)2.>Insert>Picture>from file>(I sized my pictures on photoshop to 20x16, and that is the file I used)
3.>File>Print Set up. Choose "Tiled" Choose paper size 8.5x11 "Portrait" Set the horizontal and vertical overlaps for .25
4. Once that is set. Check the print preview to see how it will tile print.
Voila, now you are ready for a Happy Valentines Day and only 80 more days of school 'till Summer vacation!
