Stripes!

So... I made this card for a challenge called "At the Fair", and then got MUCH to busy on the weekend to post it before the challenge closed (well, honestly it was a Monday challenge that closes on Saturday night!?!? which is why I missed it!). :(
Luckily it fits into the challenge over at Meljens, where the digi's are from anyways!
I LOVE Meljens! :)

Meljens - Stripes!

Back to school blues - or oranges? yellows?

Here it is!!
The last card of her summer break! lol
Chey, my 16 year old niece, has been staying with me all summer - and now into the school year. I can not stop saying how nice it is to have a crafting partner!
When I showed her the digi for Karens Doodles Kids Challenge she thought it would be fun to try - especially since I was letting my 2 year old make a card!

At age 16, we can enter 2 kids challenges.
And a few others too!

Baby Girl's Card

Awwww... My little girl is just 2, and yet she is always asking to make a card with mommy, "I make card too mommy? I do it too? All by myself?" It is the most precious thing to hear... as she stands there all wide eyed staring at the collection of colours in front of her. Markers, and Stamps, and paper piles!!

And so... today I let her choose!!
I laid out 3 sets of paper that had a polka dot theme.
I laid out 3 sets of Pencil Crayons to go with the papers.
I had three prints of a wonderful Digi, offered by Karens Doodles Kids Challenge , for her to colour, how ever she would like.
I let her hold the scissors with me, (which she held amazingly still for!)which resulted in a slightly lop sided oval.
And when I asked her what she wanted the card to say, she said "I wove you mommy".

As it turns out, we can enter 2 kids challenges...
And I am going to enter her in one other Challenge too... I mean why not, she worked very hard! lol
