Using Kids Artwork in Gift Giving

When we switched the calendar to October, I pointed out to Hannah that her grammy (Josh's mom) has a birthday at the end of October. Hannah immediately said, "Grammy needs a party!" When I asked what kind of party she thought Grammy would like, she said, "A tea party!" I thought that was actually a really good idea for a gift for Josh's mom, to put on a little tea luncheon for her birthday to enjoy with the children.

I decided to incorporate some of the kids' artwork into the invitation. I used a black Sharpie marker to outline a teacup on a piece of cardstock, and then let Hannah watercolor paint all over it. After she was done, I cut it out and pasted it to the front of a folded card.
I did the same thing with a birthday cake for Jack to color, and cut it out for the inside of the card. Yes, I know the cake looks like a top hat. I'm sorry.
I got the cut out idea from the Crafts-N-Things blog, and I think I'll use it more in the future for other projects.
