Kids Can Craft Blog Hop Challenge

My daughter (almost 4 years old) loves to craft with me, and today she wanted to make her Uncle (my brother) a Get Well card b/c he has been sick this week. So, she picked out her colors and she wanted to do a Whale and use My Pink Stamper's stamp "Get Whale Soon". She stamped it with a Peachy Keen face of her choosing :), and then wrote inside and added stickers. She loves to craft!

I decided to enter her into the challenge here: http://cardsbycg.blogspot.com/2011/02/kids-craft-blog-hop.html

Altered Mailbox for Creative Cutter Room Challenge

Here is another mailbox I just finished up for my daughter to give to one of her friends. I used the dinosaur for Boys will be Boys and MPS Punnylicious stamp. I have a few more to finish and then I will be done. I have entered this one into the Creative Cutter Room Challenge. It isn't your traditional "hearts" and "red" for Valentine's Day, but for a boy I thought this turned out cute. :)

Altered Mailboxes

I bought some mailboxes last week in the dollar spot at Target and decided after seeing a few challenges, that I would alter a few for my kids and a few of their friends. Here is one that I did for my daughter and filled with goodies for Valentine's Day. I am thinking about putting her name on the heart, but haven't totally decided yet. I have entered it in Crafting with Cristina's challenge of a Valentine themed project (as long as it is not a card), as well as My Pink Stamper's challenge for something that makes you happy.

Fantabulous Cricut's Cricut Crawl

Here is a Valentine's Card I made, with the help of my daughter, for her grandmother. It was made using the Paisley cartridge with the card function feature. Very simple card, but my daughter was pleased with the outcome. (It had to be pretty simple for a 3 year old's attention span.) :)
