Rachael's Challenge Debut!!

As I mentioned in my previous post  my daughter Rachael and I spent some quality time together today making cards. Rachael was also very keen to try her hand at some online challenges. Rachael is only 9yo and she has done an amazing job with her creation. It is surprising how challenging colour and paper choice is for children as well as cutting things the right size and straight can be - even when you have all the tools! It can be very frustrating when she likes everything to be perfect!
The challenge this week at All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenges is "New Year" and the challenge this month at Tickled Pink Stamps Monthly Challenges is a sketch challenge. So she has combined both to make a desk calandar for 2011.

Stamps : CC Tuesday (The Greeting Farm)
Cardstock & Papers : Stampin' Up!; Olivia (Basic Grey)
Inks:   Stampin' Up!, tuxedo black (Memento), Faber Castel color pencils
Other : calendar, rhinestones(stash)

Happy New Year and A Desk Calendar!

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you had a fabulous start to the year and wish you all the best for 2011.
Today my daughter and I spent some quality time together making cards while my youngest was having her afternoon nap. We had so much fun and decided to focus our efforts towards a few of the current online challenges.
