Welcome
This is an unexpected post - my grand daughter wanted to make a birthday card for her cousin, and she wanted to make it 'with Mama in her studio'!!
Mama being a bit apprehensive to really let her loose, used the dining room table instead, with limited supplies!
Firstly she stamped some small flowers randomly around the card in red and orange ink, then coloured them. She then helped to stamp the greeting, and eagerly watched the embossing process, before colouring the letters. Next we worked some magic on the cuttlebug, hard work for one barely six and a half, but she persisted!!
Some washi tape, some rhinestones and a butterfly and the card was complete, and she was very happy with the results!!
Here is a close up - I love her use of colour!!
Needless to say her younger brother wanted to be in on the action. I had stamped a card ready for him, then he wanted a butterfly, sentiment, embossing, rhinestones (the hub caps) and washi tape....
The butterfly is under his hand, and the washi tape, added after the photo, is two narrow strips of bright green on the left hand side.
Exit two happy children :-)
I can see more mornings like this coming up!!

Looks like a fun time, Maxine! Your granddaughter may become a regular at your house. Sweet B-Day card.
And the card was admired by her cousins and Aunt as well (Abel also got the other card too, which was greatly appreciated - he's as into cards as our boy is)! Glad you guys had fun, it might end up being a sanity saver for you over the next few months :-(.
It is always fun when you can pass on your passion to your grandchildren. it is so much more fun crafting together and what a beautiful card is the result!
What fun it must have been to craft with the grands. Your granddaughter's card is so pretty ... and she is adorable!! And your grandson looks like he had fun with too ... love the rhinestone hubcaps. :) xx
