My Grandson Lewis spent the morning with me. He made 12 cards, an art journal page, and some frozen chocolate chip cookie dough. Wow - he is almost 6 and you can just imagine how good this makes my heart feel.
He remembered that when they lived with me while building their house 2 years ago that on the weekend we looked at people's cards and made one of our own. He said, "Nana, for my last card let's pull up someone's card and make one for my Mom." He always loved the Featured Stamper challenge and he always gave his Mother the cards he made.
He loved the ribbon treatment, but I could not find any of my eyelets so we just glued down some ribbon. He said this plaid paper matched the ribbon so we used it. He said this wreath worked as a circle too. He planned to draw the flowers but we remembered I got the funky flowers die yesterday from Amazon, and he picked out the stash paper to make them. He LOVES my Big Shot.
He let me take a picture and told me to post it so here it is. Such a wonderful morning - one I will remember and cherish always. Thanks for the inspiration, Heather.

Well, knock me over with a feather! I'm amazed that your almost 6 year old grandson made this lovely card - way to go, Lewis! Isn't stamping with grandkids just the best?!

Wow, Lewis needs his own SCS page. His card is great. Guess he takes after his Grandma. Love your story and hearing about the wonderful memories you are creating. What a special time.

Your story brought up memories of carding with two of my grands - Natalie and Taylor. They (and we) had so much fun. Wonderful memories and I'm so glad I have photos of them with their cards.
I LOVE what you and Louis did today. Saved!

Nancy, your sweet story touched my heart. You will always cherish these wonderful moments. It seems to me that your grandson inherited your wonderful creative eye. This is so precious.
