Color Dare #580 - Use Only Pastel Colors"

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #580 "Pastels Only". 

Our family decided this year instead of exchanging gift certificates within our families we would donate Christmas 2023 to two families in need.  What a fun time we had in shopping for these two families (a Grandma with four children and a Mom with three children).  

Since two of the children were interested in crafts, in addition to shopping, my idea was to make a Card Kit for each month of the new year for each crafter.  

Of course it didn't stop there, I had lots of stuff in my stash, along with my daughter's stash, to make up a large shoe box for each which included many more images, embellishments and supplies for an addition 24 cards that they could make from scratch. I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making the Kits.   

Assuming they are new crafters to cardmaking the first twelve cards were all cut, not assembled; but photos were taken to help them with the layout.  My DT card was the June Card Kit for a Birthday card.

Here is another card kit created that used the "Pastels Only".  

This card was the January Card Kit for another Birthday card.  The image is left in black and white so that the crafter can color and hopefully use the soft and pastel colors, but their choice.

Again, all pieces cut, not assembled; but photo taken to help the crafter with the layout.
