Note Card Party “Color Pages”

Remember getting cards when you were younger that you could color?

I took these to PhotoScape and added the colored pencil effects so that we can have some cards to color in our ‘spare time’ this week!

I ramped up the color a bit but we can still get our crayons or color pencils out and finish them up.

And if you are much younger, you can use markers!

Diane, I love these images! Isn't it amazing how we have the ability to "tweak" our photographs with so many different effects? Real life made into a cartoon...lol! Have a wonderful week!

coloured pencils for me, I'm not of the marker generation

Kathy said...

I never saw cards to color. Am I too old or too young? LOL. This is a great idea. I would probably use markers. I like coloring with them.

Pamela Gordon said...

Awesome idea Diane! I'll pick coloured pencils because they look like watercolours. :) Beautiful notecards.

Diane,
Oh Yes, I remember the cards to color. I used to do so many craft projects when I was little. Just give me some colored construction paper, and I would go to town! I love this first card on here with the crown.

Have a great week, friend.

love,
~Sheri

Such a sweet idea! It reminds me of all the fun I had when I was a little girl.
Without hesitation I will go for the coloured pencils even though markers and crayons could be fun.

Vee said...

You may be the first to create note cards with the younger and young at heart set in mind, Diane. I still love to color, if only the crayons were as wonderful as they once were. That formula changed. So I'm going with colored pencils. Thanks!

Definitely colored pencils (lately). As a kid, it was always crayons. Love all your pictures on your other posts by the way.
