A Valentine for Ave

One of Avery's favorite things right now is Dora the Explorer. From that she recognizes stars everywhere (and it is one of her favorite words to practice). As such, when I saw this month's freebie from Some Odd Girl, I immediately printed off a big one for her and a small one for me. I then decided to make her a Valentine with this image in colors of peach, pink and yellow (with brown as a contrast). (Note: I started with CR84FN's color challenge but then went a little off the rails by adding the brown!)


Positive note of the day: Blogged about the kids tonight on each of their blogs. If you are keeping up, there are links to the kids' blogs in the sidebar.

The brown is what makes this card - it would be boring without the contrast :>)
