Remember those invitations?

We have all made invitations for parties before. But the question is…what do you do with them once the party is over?
A few months ago we shared this super cute invitation from Design Team Member Lydia Jackson for her son’s birthday party.
Well…here is the layout that Lydia created using one of those invites! What a great way to preserve that special memory and invitation that she created for her little man, don’t you think? She used primary colors just like the spaceship and accented them throughout the page with the Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions and the Tillie Spotted cardstock and some Core Essentials of course!
Fabulous Friday with Kids and Core!

Before we get started, don’t forget to sign up for our NEW Hard Core Crafter program! Details are here.
You will get access to tons of giveaways….EXCLUSIVE videos….and it is FREE!!!!
I know we normally do Tutorials on Tuesday but we got a little behind this week with our HCC program and posts so today we have a fun tutorial for you. I wanted to make sure I shared this before Valentine’s Day in case anyone wanted to use it as inspiration.
Our team members have been working with their very own kids to bring you Kids Crafts with Core!
A new series of quick and easy projects designed especially for you to be able to do with your very own family.
Design Team Member Char Dobson created these super cute Valentine’s Day cards with her (uber talented) nine-year old daughter!
Char’s daughter planned the entire pattern, colors, embossing folder….everything! on this project by herself. She even found the heart shape on her own while looking through Cricut cartridge booklets. AND they put this together in less than thirty minutes.
Yes, thirty minutes!
Char’s daughter has loved crafts since she was very young but has only been scrapbooking and cardmaking with her for a year or two. Amazing!
READY?
