Card Makin Mamas

Challenge #40

The fabulous sponsor this week is DESIGNED TO COLOR

We at Design to Color love one thing, COLORING! Whether you prefer markers or a paintbrush we can all agree that it's how we color that brings a project to life! So join us as we explore all coloring mediums in our fun and crafty world.

I am super extra excited about having Designed to Color with us this challenge because the brains behind this magazine is one of my crafting besties, Carisa Zglobicki. I met her many moons ago over at Cafemom. She was one of the first Card Makin Mamas. I am so excited to be able to spread the word about her newest adventure. In addition, Carisa's right hand girl in this venture is another one of my crafting besties, our very own Miss Lizzie. Please give them a warm welcome and go follow their blog while you are at it.

They will be offering the winner of this challenge will get their very own copy of the Premier issue

of Designed to Color Magazine. And that 's not all, the winner will also receive a ONE YR subscription to the Designed to Color E-zine ($14.99 value). What an amazing prize, isn't it?

2 Cute Rubber Stamps are cute and whimsical rubber and digital stamps that can be used for cards, scrapbooks and much more. Heidi is the owner/designer/illustrator and loves seeing her cute illustrations turned into rubber stamps. The BEST thing about 2 Cute Rubber Stamps is that “YOU” can get involved in the creative process by voting on her sketches and submitting ideas or your own.

This week we have some amazing children helping us out.

First of is Ciska who made a card For a child (using To The Moon)

Next is Dee and her 6yo daughter Emily (using Thank You Cat)

Next is Kitty and her 5 1/2old daughter Lissy (using Turtle Sundae)

Now we have Mariska making a card for a child (using Original Cowboy Kid)

Also Mariska's son Joris, age 9, is joining us (using Thank You Cat)

I made this fun card with my son Wyatt who is 6 (using To The Moon)

Now we have two overy talented children joining us as Guest Designers for this challenge.

First up is TJ who is 7
