Here is one of the cards that I did for the swap:

Kid's Card Class

Last spring my daughter's school had a raffle and I donated 2 Gift Baskets. One basket had a selection of cards and a Gift Certificate for a Free Class for 4. The second basket had a set of coasters and as well a Gift Certificate for a Free Class for 4.

Last Friday one of the winners, Alison, had her class with her friends. The girls were 11 years old and a couple had some stamping experience. I had a blast and the girls LOVED their cards. They made the "Boooo" card from my post on Sept 17, 2012 and the following darling Monkey Punch Art Birthday card:
