Life is meant to be lived, by Cassie & me


This card was a collaboration between my 4 year old daughter & I earlier yesterday!
She stamped a bunch of sets, picking out her own colors & such.  She is hilarious when she stamps, pressing every ounce of power from her 34 pound frame. She rocks back and forth chanting "press real hard, stamp real good....PLEASE!!!"  I finally had her to step on the thing with great results and not nearly as much prayer..LOL
We were cataloging our last (HUGE) purchase of Unity stamps from last week's big sale.  These stamps are from the Insightful Meadows and Brave Girl Boots sets.


After she fell asleep, I picked out the papers and put this card together.   Four years old...she is amazing.

Don't forget to leave a quick note before you go, Cassie will love it !!!

Hugs, kisses and flowers from "the badlands" of Iowa

    She's still sleeping (it's 2am right now), hasn't seen it yet as a card, but I'm sure she'll be thrilled!

    Wauw! You two make a great team! Love the colors here on this card! And how true the sentiments! Hurray for you, Cassie and Laura! I saw the name Visser, any Dutch ancestors for you maybe? I'm from the Netherlands, that's why! ;-)
    Wishing you and Cassie a wonderful day!
    Hugs from Holland! Wendy

    How lovely you can share your love of papercrafting with your daughter. I am sure your daughter awoke to a nice surprise having the card finished. I really love the pretty green tones and papers you chose to go with the lovely floral images.

    Oh my gosh... I can't remember if I hit "post comment", so if this is a duplicate, feel free to erase! Lol.

    Your daughter will grow up to have loving memories of art time with you, as well as, a love of art itself. Tell her that I love her stamping and her choice of colors. They are a beautiful addition to your beautifully crafted card...

    So cute! Cassie did an amazing job stamping! Your card is great! You make a good team! Hope to see more from the team soon! She will be making the whole thing on her own before you know it. She probably watches you more than you know!

    I may need to borrow your 4 year old to help catalogue my stamps! This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the story about your child--great way to start the day. I can just picture her rocking back and forth trying to stamp the images!

    How funny that Cassie picked out the colors. I was going to mention he I LOVE the colors. Especially the green on the flowers. I guess that we have the same taste. I REALLY LOVE the colors. I'm not just being nice...

    Great card!! my 7 year old son loves to craft with me too ~ although I've set him up with his own space and products, and he thinks I am the best mom ever when I surprise him with some cardstock or ink. I love it!
