She will be going into Kindergarten this year. She has been stamping with Grandma since she was three and half years old. She is a natural crafter and very independent in her designs.

She chose Karen's Fun In The Pool image which will be her sister's birthday card. I printed it on Beckett White for her. Kaitlyn colored the image with colored pencils. She chose the papers and actually the way they are placed on the card. She also handles punches very well and punched the corners out herself. I don't know who made the greeting. Kaitlyn stamped that on her own. She also chose the jewel butterflies.

The finished size is 5"x7".
