Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

For The Kids Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! We all love our kids and grandkids and if you are like me, love creating cards for them. This week we are all creating for kids!

I used the Playing In The Rain Bundle for my card today:

I wanted to create a kid-friendly scenery with the cute turtle image and added a sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set. Follow along here:
