The challenge I'm offering up today is to ask you to make
A Kid's card using a Sketch
It can be for a big kid or little, celebrating something specific like a birthday or just a note to say hello. You can find OWH sketches HERE but you can also use a sketch from somewhere else.
I've got two samples to share and to add some extra fun I decided I'd do a boy and a girl version using the same sketch. I chose OWH Sketch # 28.

Cute cards...The patterned paper on the boys card is perfect for the robot image and I LOVE the earrings on the girl card. Thanks for the chance to win.

Great idea to make a boy and a girl card. Every once in awhile I try to remember to do the same. That robot is simply adorable. I just love the blue shadow where he is standing. And the princess is just darling with her pretty pearl earrings. eponinekc at msn dot com
Going to use your sketch to make a card (or two or ten). I love how you can take one sketch and do so much with it.
It took me 2 hours to cleaning (and rearrange) my scrap room so I'm a little late getting starting on today's festivities!!

Love both cards Paula! The colors on the robot card are may favorite! I don't think I have used this particular sketch yet so I am going to give that one a shot even though you didn't specify.
Thank you for all that you do for OWH and for us as card makers with your wonderful teaching. You are appreciated!

Thanks for your challenge, Paula, and for your Bootcamp too. I'm using your Sketch to do a Birthday card. Have a great weekend!

Very nice, Paula! I love the way you coordinate your embellishments with the theme in the card. And the way you color your images with a little color at the bottom to "ground" them is perfect (I usually forget or don't do that so well and they end up floating in thin air - ha!). Thank you for being so involved in OWH - you are making a significant difference in more lives than you'll ever be able to measure. :)
Like the idea of doing a boy card and a girl card using the same sketch. Love the paper you used. Thanks for sharing and for all the work you put into Boot Camp. I have learned alot and really enjoy it. rkscholz at yahoo dot com.
As always, your cards are just great. Your choice of papers with the robot make it work. Thanks for your dedication to OWH in so many ways, especially the bootcamp which provides the perfect basic design lessons for crafting success. dmallnock at gmaildot com.
Love these - that's my fave robot!!
Both versions are really cute!
I will try to get one linked this weekend.

Your kids' cards are too much fun with their impeccable coloring, layout and color choices. Thank you for sharing these cute cards, for your ongoing support of OWH, and for the chance to win some goodies. aundriab at yahoo dot com
What fun cards! I especially love the little robot, but it's the little details on the cards- red brads, pearl earrings- that make both cards absolutely perfect!

Great cards! I especially love the robot, the way you colored it, and your sketch to feature it! Thanks for hosting for the VCMP!
Both cards are terrific! I especially love how the strips on the robot card echo colors in the background paper. Well done!

Both of your cards are great and will be a bit hit with kids. However, that lil' robot just stole my heart! Your stripes are the perfect echo to the background paper,too!

Paula, this is a terrific challenge! I can always use inspiration since I don't do kids cards easily. I like how you used the same sketch for both. The perfection is in your details! Thank you for hosting a great challenge!
