I think that most moms and/or dads read this book to their little ones before that first day of school. I know I did! It is the sweetest story. I had to try to make a card based on that book. I used the colors and layout and even managed to get the kissed hand in there! Once again this card is for the GinaK challenge for a chance to be a center stage designer (crossing my fingers!) for a month. This is my third entry and I may be able to squeeze one more in. There is one more card floating around in my head, if it comes together I will be back before the day is done. I used the stamp set called "Happy Spring". The card stock is from the GinaK pure luxury line - Lemon Drop, In the Navy, and a tad of Passionate Pink. I also used the star Cuttlebug folder for the background and some sparkly flowers. I did a little coloring with my Copics. The most work was masking and cutting all those gloves (hands) to make the border on the bottom. Thanks for the look!
Another book for the GinaK book challenge on StampTV. Here is a little history on this book. We have 13 wonderful grandchildren and there is no way that I can make a "book" card for all of them so I am choosing 1 from each family. This book is for Ella. She and her brothers like spending the night at our house and often times going to sleep is a little difficult. Well, when we first moved into this house on the lake she was a little weary of the new surroundings. I looked through my stash of books and we read several together. One of them was this one. She was only 3 when I first read her this book and to this day it is the book that I have to read to her (she is almost 8) before going to sleep. In fact I also have to read it to her 2 younger brothers when they all are here for the night. It is the story about how the little ducklings fall asleep one at a time after asking about every little sound or sight that they see. Every sound is explained and finally the last one to fall asleep is Little Quack. It is a cute book. I made this card using the GinaK StampTV kit called Spring Mix. The designer paper is from October Afternoon called Ducks in a Row - how perfect was that?!?! The other card stock is all GinaK pure luxury, Ocean Mist and Moonlit Fog and Lemon Drop for the Mama. I used Copics for the little coloring that I did and some adhesive bling.
Gina's StampTV has put out a challenge to create a card based on a children book using the last release of stamps. This book was one I used with one of my granddaughters shortly after she came to live with my son and his wife. She was 4 years old and loved butterflies and sparkly things. So when I found this book I had to get it for her. She loved it. She is going to be 7 in a couple of weeks and her adoption is now finalized. Her birthday cards always have a butterfly and some kind of sparkle. So this card is for Kylie. I used Theresa's Sending Sunshine for the flowers. All the card-stock is GinaK and the sparkle is thanks to Sakuka pens.
