Following their Mum’s footsteps…

… and making me proud. 🙂

The kids in this house are big time craft/art/coloring/painting/scrapbooking/cardmaking/stamping addicts.  Many free moments are spent in my scrapbook room, creating everything from cards for loved ones to painted jewelry boxes to decorated rocks to anything you can think of.  Such fun.

Well, Sandi suggested I share some of the kid's cards here.  She got to see Kay demo with me at Stampaway last weekend and saw how creative she is.  In fact, the owner of Stamp Your Art Out asked if she wanted to teach a kids class next year.  Cool, huh?  And, since Kay learned all about iMovie at Apple Camp earlier in the summer, she decided to do a video, too.  She loves sharing.  Check it out…

Supplies: (Card and video created by Kay McGuire, age 13)
Hero Arts stamps (big trees and baby trees), notecards and gems
Creative Impressions ribbon
Sharpie Markers

She rocks, eh?  I have more of her cards that I will share again soon.  But I gotta share one from Audrey.  I really wanted to post the adorable "get well" card she made for Kay when she was sick earlier in the summer.  Inside, she wrote, "Kay, I hope you feel better fast.  Love, Audrey.  P.S. Please don't puke on me."  Nice, huh?  But, I couldn't find that one.  (If you know Audrey, she is known for her funny lines.}  So, instead, here is another one.  In it you will see her new trademark way of signing her cards…

Supplies: (Card by Audrey McGuire, age 10.)
Hero Arts stamps (background and flourish)
Silver ink (and Audrey favorite)
Pencil

Yes, she signs each of her cards "Love, Audrey (is awesome).  Too cute.  I have more of her clever cards to share, too.

Then, there is Colin.  He often comes up with his own creations.  (No one will ever forget the wooden cross covered with google eyes that he made for Grandma.)  However, for this one, he added his own touch to one I made…

Supplies: (Card "enhanced" by Colin McGuire, age 2.)
Hero Arts stamps (background and critter) and notecards
New 3" scallop punch from Fiskars.  Ah, my new baby.
Google eyes
Pencil

So, even though I am taking a day off, the kids stepped in for me.  They are very excited to share… hope you like them!
