The Kraft Journal . . . Carnivals, Parades or Parties

I love Mondays!  And I know, you're probably thinking I'm crazy right about now, but on Mondays, hubby is back at work, I'm doing laundry and, since my craft room is right next to the laundry room, I am usually working on making some cards.  I also love Mondays because that means it's "Make It Monday" at The Kraft Outlet, and I love their challenges!  Their challenge for this week is to make a project based on the theme of "Carnivals, Parades, or Parties".  My first thought when I saw this was "Wow, I wish I hadn't used that cool ferris wheel image a few weeks ago for another of their challenges, but that only lasted a minute, because I knew I had other images I could use.  

Before I share my card, I want to apologize once again for my pictures!  I have ordered a new battery for my 'good' camera, and it should be here in 2-3 days, but until then it's the point and shoot, and it's not in that great of shape any more!  Anyway, here is my card based on their challenge . . .

I love this vintage greeting card image found on Flickr, and thought it looked just right for a three year old!  Did you notice the little duck passed out in the bottom left hand corner?  Too cute!
