Have Fun Today!

Just a quick post today.  I took my ten-yr old daughter to Bible camp yesterday so my eight-yr old daughter and I are spending some special time together.  Of course part of that time today was crafting.  She made and painted a wooden jewelry box from a kit while I worked on this card:




I cut the branches, letters, and pinwheel with my Silhouette and ran them through the Xyron to adhere.  The boy was colored with Copics.  Most papers are from the Making Memories pack.  The cardstock was from my stash, and the leafy green paper (circle behind the boy) is from Provo Craft Soft Watercolor Paper Collection, 2002.  

And here's Katherine's beautiful jewelry box:


The card is entered in the following challenges:
Dynamic Duos #8 Monochromatic Colours
Lili's Little Fairies: Time to Play
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge: #65 Boy Attitude
Well that's it for me today.  Thanks for coming over, and I hope you're enjoying your day!

  17. You're so good at making a scene (a good scene, not an embarrassing public one!) Like a picture that tells a story. That boy looks as though he could swing all day in that tree. Lovely jewelry box too! PS-as I type I just saw you are at my blog. Weird timing :)
