Cards for Kids

I have been away for away but I have been busy creating! I have wanted to join all of the great people that have been helping Jennifer McGuire out with the Cards for Kids drive and I finally got several cards finished. I wanted to make sure that I made everything perfect for these special kids. Here are the cards that I created:

First up for the girls is this adorable octopus. On the outside is a joke that says, "What lives at the bottom of the sea and carries a lot of fish?" The punchline on the inside says, "An octobus!!"
I showed this card in a previous post and I did not like how it turned out so I made it a little better! Instead of handwriting the joke, I typed it on the computer and placed it inside a bubble. I thought it looked better this way! I created pink for the girls and blue for the boys. The joke says, "What kind of monkey flies to school?" Punchline says, "a hot air baboon!!"



This is the punchline for the next card, I can't figure out how to reverse the order!! Sorry!!


This whale card is also from another post that I didn't like so again, I changed it!! Instead of handwriting the joke, I typed it on the computer and placed it inside a bubble. Again, I thought it looked better this way!




This robot card I thought would be cute and simple for the boys!

This is another simple card I made for the boys. (Sorry about the lighting, it doesn't look so good in this picture!)



This is the girls version of the above card! I had to make it girly by adding bling to it, not sure you can really see it in these pics.
I really enjoyed making these cards and I even got Kayla involved, I thought it was a great way to show her how important it is to give back to others and to send smiles to those in need. I hope that Kayla and I can continue to participate in this card drive and really make an effort to make these children smile!!
Until next time............
