Believe it or not Valentine's Day will be here before you know it and it's never too early to plan ahead. Whether you go simple or elaborate, one thing that is a staple for the day is a Valentine's Day Card. My favorite growing up, was in Elementary decorating a Valentine's Day box and then preparing the Valentine I'd be giving my classmates.

Many years I crafted my own cards with markers, crayons, craft paper and the help of Mama Zee with how to spell certain words. As I got older, store bought cards seemed more practical and I liked that I could pick out my favorite cartoon character or a theme of some sorts.

Now that I am an adult, who hasn't celebrated Valentine's Day much while in a relationship, I am someone who can use ideas on what to do. This year, however, I took it upon myself to look up some cute Minnesota ideas, in case you wanted to go in that direction and show your state pride a little bit. Here are six sweet Minnesota Valentine's Day Cards that any Minnesotan would appreciate and understand.

• For the love of Hot Dish:

My boyfriend, from Texas, has this conversation with me often: it's "casserole" and not "hotdish". But if you're from Minnesota you know it's what we call it and one of our absolute favorites is tater tot hotdish, so the sentiment in this card would let your sweetheart know that you love them an awful lot. Find these at Minnesota Awesome.

• Ohhh BABE!:
