Crafting Buddy!

Hello All! Today I would like to share a card that my Crafting Buddy Natalia has made. She was over at my house on Sunday and wanted to make a card. First I gave her to pick one of my pre-stamped images that I keep handy. She chose  Melinda Blowing Kisses by Wiff of Joy. She then chose to color with color pencils instead of my Copics; fine with me! Once her coloring was complete she looked through my cards and then asked me for those embellishments. I think she did a really good job...oh by the way Natalia is 7 or 8 years old!(forgot to ask her) So here is her card; I will be entering it in the Simon Says Summer Holiday Children's Challenge. I am so proud of Natalia; she did so well; she even did the border on her own! Oh I did help with the bow, and with some cutting but everything was her choice! Just look at the highlight she has done on the pants...awesome HUH! Well I hope she comes back and we can do more crafting. FYI Natalia is my husbands cousins daughter...what a mouth full; we will call her my niece:0)

 Natalia's baby sister also wanted in on the fun so I had her color a stamped image that I had done for my kids on regular cardstock. She is such a cutie; she wanted to do everything like her big Sister!
I will be back later on with a card that I have done using my Prismas!

Top Tip Tuesday Card


Tuesday means only one thing to me; NEW Challenge at TTT!
This week Challenge is 'Straight Edges'; easy!  There is also an awesome tutorial done by Katrina on an Easel Box Card.

Today I have used Birdie's Nest from Robyn's Fetish for my card. This image was really fun to color with my Copics; super easy and fast to color. I have kept my card very simple; adding stitching on each panel to add a little extra. I have added a charm to my card; with some jumprings. I was having such a hard time with my ribbon bows, I had seen a video tutorial about making them on Bev's blog after reviewing the video feel that it is much better. Thanks Bev! The postage sentiment is a freebie from Netty; check out her blog she has a bunch of awesome freebies! Thanks Girl!
I would love to enter this card in the following challenges:
KB Cute Monday - Anything Goes
Make My Monday - Birds or Bugs
Paper Creations Ink- Stitching Theme
One Stitch At A Time - Use a Digi
Totally Gorjuss - #92 Sketch
Just Some Lines Outdoors/Summer

Yay for me; I have won Pregnant Tilda stamp on Bev's blog from the Simon Says Stamp weekly candy.
And also won the stamp "Ashton with falling star" from In2Stamps from their new Winter release.

Thanks for stopping by; I really hope you make it to TTT and join our challenge for a chance at some awesome prizes!

Hugs;

My sentiment is from Marion you can find it as a freebie Here (also available in English).

Kids Cards

Hello; today I would like to share my kids Franco and Gavino's creations. They both have made a Christmas card. Okay so I have helped Gavino(3)  since he gave up on the coloring...but I think I should have let Franco(4) help him instead....LOL!

So here is Gavino's card:
 And here is Franco's card: He explained that his face is brown because he was running and got it full of mud :) Oh and the blobs are actually glitter glue.
They each chose how they wanted their snow man and what accessories to add. At the end I think they just copied off of each other; but don't we all....

I will be entering his card into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: SUMMER HOLIDAYS CHILDREN'S CHALLENGE; ANYTHING GOES
This was a fun thing to do; first time for us; Thanks SSS for the idea:0)

Hugs;
