Obviously, when it comes to Mother's Day I don't have to worry about a card for myself. Hopefully Matt is sorting that out. But I do like to send cards to Nanas and Godmothers (if I remember, or, more aptly, if I remember to actually post them).
It can be tricky to constantly find new ideas which are fun but not too challenging. I often turn to Pinterest but I also like to fall back on ideas gained from working in a nursery and at other times, inspiration comes in the form of the Yellow Moon catalogue delivered to work.
That's what happened with these sweet card cut outs. As soon as I saw them I knew they'd be great for some Mother's Day cards to pop in the post. As I was also picking up some bits for Ollie's birthday party in a couple of weeks I added these to my basket and today we had a fun morning painting them with some water paints.
Ollie had a go but was a bit bemused by it all, whereas Lily dived right in and created some really lovely pictures. She was really sweet and tried to pick colours she knew the recipients would like but then splashed tons of purple on them "because [she] LOVES purple Mummy".
I do wonder sometimes if anyone, even family, would appreciate the
Oh, that is a lovely idea, so simple and very sweet.
So pretty :)
They are very pretty
These are so pretty. Yellow moon are fantastic for kids crafts X #letkidsbekids
I really liked that I could let Lily get on with it and they still turned out lovely! x
Thank you! I'm really surprised at how well they turned out, usually the kids would just splash a ton of black paint around... x
Thank you! x
I know! I find it really hard to resist getting everything in the catalogue! x
