Crafting with Ava

Whenever I make a card with Ava she will draw and color while I stamp. But inevitably she wants to stamp too! She has a preferance to the “Priceless” set, almost always wanting to use it. Today however she was happy to use the ‘Season of Joy” set, and maybe it was because they look so similar!

She stamps with whatever hand I place the ink pad next to, today she used her left hand although she is right hand by nature.  Here are a few pictures of Ava stamping and having fun with the star “hand stamped” and cranberry crisp ink.

Here she is preparing to stamp:

And when she is hard at work:

And then inspecting her latest creations:

We usually go through about 10 different colors and 3 stamp sets before she is done. For her birthday I am going to get her some stampin spots  and a few sets I know she would like. I hope she always stays creative and always finds happiness in art, whatever form it is.

This is how I will remember my afternoons with Ava at age 3, stamping and drawing together.
