May 24-30: For the kiddos!

I love making cards for kiddos, especially “just because” cards to encourage and cheer them. This free digi image from Whimsie Doodles worked perfectly for back to school cards. (I’ll just need to remember that I have them when the next school year starts!)

I found a spiral bound school notebook filled with black paper at the local Goodwill and used it to provide a fun background. (Might actually use a sheet or two with gel pens sometime... as it was intended!)

My challenge for you is to create a card for a child or teen. Any occasion, any reason. Have fun!

Oh, that little girl/fairy is so cute! Love the sparkly wings. What a great card, Kathy! I'll have to see if I can come up with an idea for this.

It's always fun to make stuff for "just because".

Super cute Kathy! Hope to sit still long enough this week to play.

Kathy, that is darling!!!!

Here's mine:

Let me tell you, tulle for the shaker, rather than acetate, is a dream! Love how it shakes so freely. You can't use glitter in the shaker, but the holes are so small the sequins, etc. are fine.

Golda, that is adorable!

My granddaughter is crazy for cats and is going into middle school so this will be her "graduation" card.

I had some technical difficulties so had to improvise. I planned on having the heads interlock to close the card but they were just too big to be able to do that so Plan B was to create a band to keep it closed.

Elaine, that is fantastic! And hey, with a band to close, it might look like a large collar they could all fit into.

I love the eyes.

Golda, I love your card! The image is darling and the tulle shaker looks great. I would think there would be no static issues with tulle. Great job!

Elaine, your card is almost enough to turn me into a cat person. That is stinkin' cute!

Golda, what a cute shaker card with the Mice. Love it.
Elaine, what cute kitties. I love how you did them.
