eat your veggies, kid.
We're tired of whining, pleading, bribing, threatening, etc. with Sofia to get her to eat her veggies.
This bad boy is getting tucked into her lunchbox tomorrow... think it'll do the trick? ha. Hopefully it will, in the very least, put a smile on her face.
She drew me a picture of a broken heart today, and told me every time we "make" her eat her vegetables, she feels like her heart is breaking. Cry me a river, kid. And also, let me give you a huge hug so you don't notice that I'm cracking up behind your back.
For this card, I used Vegtastic - I can't get enough of those Paper Smooches cuties! I first stamped the trio of veggies in Versamark ink to create a background on my kraft cardstock, then stamped them again on patterned paper and snipped them out. The notebook die-cut was stamped and clear-embossed with the "order form" image from PTI's It's official. Cute, right? I'm imagining she'll order veggies. And eat them. It's a nice dream :)
My little "with love" sentiment on the bottom is also from Vegtastic - but I added the comma by hand and also handwrote m-o-m in the little circles.
Here's a closer-up look:
The E-A-T letters were die-cut and then stamped with PTI's gingham image - also been using that pattern on everything. The message on the card is pretty clear, right? In-your-face veggies, veggie-background, e-a-t+arrow pointing to veggies... clear enough for even the almost-6-year-old?

vegtastic!
Are you on complete cuteness overload from these carrots??
I can't take it.
These "paper smooches" sets are just too much. I stamped, cut, and colored the carrots first. Then, I tore a little piece of brown cardstock to make a dirt mound for the veggies to stick out of. The yellow strips are stamped with a few PTI background sets and then machine stitched. (Do they look like sun rays? If yes, we're on the same page.) My sewing machine has a semi-permanent place on the crafty table! Who'd have thunk it... The clouds block is from Hero Arts and I stamped the heart-outline-image from "vegtastic" onto some pretty gingham paper... as I wait for my PTI gingham stamps... *stares out the window and sighs*
Hope you like it!
