Valentine's Day Card

Valentines Day 2008 Card
I included Nik in the entire design process of this card. We picked out the stickers on sale at Michael's Crafts ($4) a couple weekends ago. I bought small office envelopes which fit the valentines perfect. The "buggie" phrase came from "Miss Spiders Sunny Patch Friends" and compliment the stickers perfectly. He was amazed to see the design on the computer monitor come to life on paper. He assisted in the cutting of each card, stuck all the bugs and hearts, also hand wrote some "notes" !

Snowman !

I was very happy to see the previous monkey post, not only being super cute but now I am sure mine will qualify! I asked Nik to draw me some circles, on paper, scanned and I created the rest digitally. He was so proud of his snowman we made it our Christmas Card. That you for letting me contribute, I look forward to future posts. I personally like to use the slide shows and flash as it keeps my photos safe, if it is not allowed please let me know.

Here's how it works!
Grab a child in your life and let them dictate what you all will do. Work how you work so they can see what you do and how you do it. If it's on the computer, give them the mouse to color something in or if your medium of choice is paint, have them paint. Just be creative!! You can see what I do with one of my styles here. Enjoy your time and just have fun! Participation is open to all.
