Butterflies, Rainbows, and Clouds!

It's February and *crafty goodness* is in the air!  Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday because I absolutely love the bright and airy designs that you see on Valentine's Day cards- especially on cards for kids.  I really wanted to whip up a fun design or two this year, so I persuaded one of my co-workers to allow me to create cards for two of his daughters to give to their classmates.  And let me tell you, that I had a *blast* creating these cards! 

First up is Friendly Butterflies!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!

Inside of Card

I created this card for one of my little friends who was turning 3!! She loves the Backyardigans so with the help of nickjr.com I put together this little card for her. Whenever I use a ShortCuts as a card base, I can never bring myself to write on the inside of the card (lol) so I usually make a little insert that slides in/out of the side/bottom of the card. I hope this likes it!

Card base: Medium sized ShortCuts

PP: The Spring Glitter Mat Stack by DCWV

Character: www.Nickjr.com

Letters: Opposites Attract

I rounded the corners using a Fiskers Corner Rounder

Joy Fold Hello

Yet another Joy Fold! I made this one for a little friend of mine- just to say hello and check on him. The Craft paper is so versitile- makes making masculine cards easier for me. And the DCWV Green Stack is wonderful- so glad I was able to use it on this project!

More Lil' Monkeys

I don't know what it is, but these little guys are a recurring theme in a lot of my projects. Maybe it's because they are so stinkin' cute! LOL!
