DINO-MITE!

Today I get to help kick off the new challenge at the
Designed 2 Delight Designers challenge blog ~ Card Ideas!

Debbie Fisher is hosting this challenge: 

KIDDING AROUND!
"April 10-16 is Week of the Young Child.
Let’s create a card/project for a young child.
This can be for any occasion: birthday, get well, or just because."

It seems that Debbie knew something about me or has a sixth sense because I have celebrated the Week of the Young Child for many years. My first job in the education field was as a teacher and director at Window Tree Preschool. I attended many Conference on the Young Years presented by Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Besides my degree in Elementary Education and Elementary Guidance and Counseling, I also have a degree in Early Childhood.

Well, enough about me, on to the card...




I think Faith's Dino-mite Birthday Party set is perfect to brighten any child's day.
Dino-Mite Birthday [Set]
I decided that I would make this a girly-girl dinosaur [Dino's aren't just for boys ya' know!]  and went with the all pinkish color scheme with lots of fussy cutting, glitz and glamour!

I used a Stand-Up card design.
(Free template here and check out others similar cards on Splitcoast)
