Kids Inspire Us!

It's the middle of the month, and we are ALL ABOUT KIDS in September!

The Bacon Bits have some super fun designs to share with you today in different styles -- so there is something for everyone!

First, take a look at Jane's adorable CAS (Clean and Simple) baby announcement using Egg Pig - 2152:

Isn't that cute with the little tag?

Next up is Jeannie's darling froggy card using Frog Boy:

I love the paper she used and that adorable little green button!

Judy created a one-layer CAS card using Roller Bunny - 4517 and Take Flight - 452:

Love the clouds and the whimsical grass. 

And finally Lyn used a favorite-of mine digital set called Orange/Yam Kids:

Isn't her coloring fabulous?

Well, "tomorrow" certainly took its time --- as I forgot to post the winners for the HUMOR ME Challenge!!

Congratulations to:

Myrna's use of pattern and color blocking with Hambo's REPTILE digital image and the inside of her card made me giggle! Deonna's terrific coloring and use of texture - plus the crabby sentiment had me smiling too!
