Art Journey's eleventh art challenge is all about CHILDREN! This is a GREAT challenge for me, as I have three little grandchildren visiting me here in Nova Scotia for the whole summer!

For my card, I used three different Art Journey stamps: the grass from the Bird Boy set right here, a beautiful little girl , and the quotation from the Summer Girl Set.

The Netherlands Art Journey website has been completely redesigned, and it's SO easy to navigate now...in English! Hope you can take some time to see their beautiful stamps!
