For the Kids!!

Let's see your projects for the kids in your life.

Here's what I made:

I decided to use primary colors for my little dude card.

I had stamped a few of these cute penguins last year, and only used one

of them, so I colored another one. I thought at the time I'd fussy cut them but

this one needed a frame. Since I stamped the images pretty close together, I had

to cut this out in wonky angles. Turns out, I love how it came out!

I'm linking this up at:

But wait, there's more!

I also made a card for a little miss:

Hello and happy Saturday! I hope that you are enjoying your weekend so far. The hubs and I went to see Catching Fire today and it. was. so. GOOD! (The books are even better - at least, I think so!)

I seem to have taken some time off from blogging, and the computer in general. I felt I was spending way too much time on Facebook and just stalking blogs. (ahem) It doesn't mean I wasn't crafting. Noooooooo. I just can't show you all yet what I was making. Well, maybe one thing. Here's a card I made using Stella Says Sketch #146:

(here's the inside!)

....and the sketch:

Stella has the best sentiments! LOL! I stamped and colored her with SN markers and added some highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. (on the star, the ornaments and her glasses) Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

Well, time to feed my fur baby. Have a great rest of your weekend and stay crafty my friends!
