Kids Craft Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Kids Blog Hop sponsored by the Purple Scrapbooker! If you have arrived here from Linda at Heavenly Creations, (www.heavenlycreations7.blogspot.com) you are on the right track! If you would like to start the hop from the beginning, see Jen at the Purple Scrapbooker, (www.purplescrapbooker.com).

My daughter, Ava, is so excited to be able to show her work on a "dot com" site, as she likes to say! Ava is only 4 years old but she has a very big personality! Her favorite "art" that she likes to do is paint. We have many pictures displayed around the house of her painting and she loves to go to Joann's and pick out one of those wood photos to paint. Last fall she picked out this huge flower to go in the backyard by her little wooden house. Here is a photo:

I love letting her pick these out as they are fairly inexpensive and she has a ball with them. This one was extra special as we got to see it every day in the backyard until the weather turned cold. She just asked me the other day when we could get it back out.

For this blog hop she has chosen to color in some stamps I have. Her favorite stamps that I own are all the faces by Peach Keen Stamps. She loves stamping faces on everything!! Since we can't really color in faces, I let her choose another stamp set and she chose to color a fairy from a Stampin UP! set and then a little girl with her dolly and her dog from Vivenne and Friends by Peach Keep Stamps. (Too hard to choose just one!)

Here are the two cards we created:
We actually based this card on the current sketch from the latest Tuesday sketch challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We used the Martha Stewart Fringe Shears for the grass and cut out a simple yellow circle for the sun. I thought it came out really cute and Ava knows the PERFECT person to give this to, her Grandma for her birthday.

For this set, Ava used my Big Shot to cut out the Scallop Squares for the base and then picked her own construction paper in pink for the layer. She loves this fairy from Stampin UP! and has decided to give this card to her best friend for her birthday which is coming up soon!

Since she is only 4 she hasn't quite mastered coloring yet, although anyone who receives a card from her doesn't care! They mostly just love getting cards that are handmade from Ava. Isn't that normally how it is anyway? Do we really care how pretty something is when it's handmade? It's the thought that counts!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these projects today from Ava. I know she would love to hear your sweet comments on them!
