Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Since we were not able to visit family this year, I decided to make some cards for my kids' cousin...she is 8 years-old. My kids will also make her some cards, then we'll mail them all together.

I used one stamp set (CTMH July Stamp of the Month - For My Beautiful Friend) and kept it mostly black & white or uncolored, so she can color them and give them to her friends...

Card #1 Thankful

Flowers were stamped and outlined with Glitz Sea Sparkle markers.

Card #2 Just for You

Card #3 Miss You

Card #4 Sending my Love

Card #5 Happiness

I altered it only a little bit, but the kit comes with instructions and all the supplies you need to create 4 pages and one 2-page layout. All you'd need is adhesive and/or foam tape.

Birdie Card for Sketch Challenge + Process Video for Hello #Baby 12" x 12" Scrapbook Page

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a simple card for a team and sketch challenge...

I used CTMH D1920 You Make Me Happy stamp set. Initially, I was going to color the bird image, but my markers were too dark, so I decided to leave it as is...the kid that receives this card could color it for fun!

If you purchase the stamp set, CTMH will donate $7 to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children around the world.

Challenges:

1. Atlantic Hearts Sketch #376

2. WordArtWed #446-#447: AGoes

I made this scrapbook page last week, and today I have the Process Video up on YouTube:
