K is for.................... Kids

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and I wish you all a very Happy New Year. Well, we are now back again after our little break, and we are now up to K, which this week is for Kids. This means, that you can either make something featuring kids, like Lesley's lovely ATC, or you can make something designed to give to a kid, like my card.

I have made my card by cutting balloon shapes from sparkly card, and adding glitter glue. I have cut a circular aperture to allow the greeting to show through from inside the card.

Lesley's wonderful series of ATCs continues with this lovely vintage kids ATC

And Fifi has made this lovely Kids tag
