Keandra’s Kona Kid Krafter’s Challenge Card

This is Keandra’s card for the Kona Kid Krafter’s Challenge.  The challenge was to make a card/project with a Valentine or heart theme.  She made this card for her dad for Valentine’s Day.  She used the House Mouse “With All My Heart” stamp and colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol after a quick lesson from mom.  I think she did pretty good.  She was so unhappy and frustrated because she didn’t stay exactly in the lines.  She is such a perfectionist (mmm….I wonder  where she gets that from.)  It is hard for her to accept that it is ok when she sees her mom get all upset and frustrated when things don’t work the way she wants.  I guess I need to work on that.   Nothing like your child pointing out your faults!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Proud Mama!

I just had to give a little shout out to my daughter who was selected as one of  the top three for the Kona Kid Krafter’s challenge card she entered.  I am so very, very proud of her.  Way to go, Keandra!

Kona Kid Krafter’s Challenge Blog

My daughter and I recently discovered a kid’s challenge blog for kid crafters called Kona Kid Krafter’s.  They have challenges twice a month on the 1st and the 15th for kids ages 2ish-17.  The current challenge is “Anything Goes/Optional add wings”.  Keandra went through all of my stamps and decided to settle on this one, Butterfly Swirls by The Angel Company.  She colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and colored the background with shimmer chalk.  She then raided my box of bling, because she thinks any card without bling is just not complete.   She also used a glue pen to add some glitter to the butterfly and some of the swirls.   She did everything herself, but she did ask for my assistance to cut her paper straight and tie the bow.   I think she did a pretty good job!
