Today the teapotters are all about children and playing. We are helping out a fellow teapotter (hotwheels) who sends loads of cards to kids. Her mother usually helps her but is having health issues so we are all pitching in. I've made VERY CAS cards that don't require any extra postage. The stamp sets are oldie but goodie ones and I just love the portrayal of happy children using their imaginations.

Tina these are so cute and bring back so many memories. I got my first broken bone falling out of a billy-cart just like this one. Your cards make my face and heart smile. xx

Okay, I want to go back and be a child again (In my own time frame though)! I love these wonderful images of children at play, Tina! They have me thinking of when life was so much simpler and children used their imagination! I really love that gingham/plaid bg!
I am so glad you caught on to the fairies and their mode of transportation!

I remember coming across that stamp set a couple of years ago when I was doing a gallery tidy. I love the one of the boys with their dog - it reminds me of me and my brother.
Leaving them uncoloured really adds to the story-book feel, and I love your plaid paper.

What sweet cards!!! LOVE the awesome images one for a girl and one for a boy. The colorful plaid DP is wonderful and your CAS design is great too! Extra nice of you to do two cards to send to Linda and on to Cole's Kids!!!
