Our theme over at SUO Challenges this week is near and dear to my heart – For the Kids!!  Let’s face it, kid projects and cards are always such fun to make.  They bring out the kids in all of us who create, I think!  The team has come up with all kinds of awesome ideas so get ready to pin and CASE!

I went with a really clean card for this one.  Why?  Because these were mass produced!!  I made them as birthday thank you cards for one of my sons and needed to make quite a number of them.  The best part is that while it is clean, it still has some great little elements that make it special.  First of all, I am in love with this little alien from Blast Off.  My guys love this set and they actually helped me choose this fellow and his color (Lucky Limeade).  I stamped him and the planet on Whisper White and the punched them out with my 2-1/2″ Circle punch. Then I stamped another alien, fussy cut him and popped him up on a Dimensional.  I used the new Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce a circle and then put the punched circle up on some more Dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Made For You.

Making cards like this is fun, especially when the kids pitch in to help.  I hope you will share your projects for the kids with us this week!

Back tomorrow with a new Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I hope you are having a great week so far.  See you soon!
