Eid ... (floppy) cards

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu

I actually managed to finish making an Eid card for this year!! Every year the idea comes and then I have no idea where it goes, but it leaves no print. I decided I wanted it a little different (because I like different!) so I went with a whimsical look (kind of).. which you never find for Eid greetings, and I decided to make it a Postcard. Now what happens when the printers print it on light weight card stock.. you have a floppyyyy card *yaaay*. Ah well.. I am happy with the picture.. it actually makes me smile every time I see it. And I am not good and therefore don't really like water paint, but this was fun to paint..and now I think I like water paint..hehe



I know a few others were going to make some Eid cards this year. How did it go?? Hijabi Apprentice? *grin*

UmmLayla you going to get to see it :) insha'Allah.

I think I should start next years, this year ... and make them real cards! not pretty flop!

    Wa'alaykum as-salaam wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dear sisters,

    So nice to hear from both of you :)

    Hijabi Apprentice, I think your idea of making cards with the kids is wonderful!! Let me know how it goes. Are you using any particular technique or material to make them?? (paint, crayons, cut and paste, etc.)

    Wa Alaikum Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

    Insha Allah I think I'll use construction paper and crayon. My kids are really young so I want to keep it kind of simple for them. I have very limited exposure to little ones so if you (or any readers) have any suggestions I am all ears :).

    As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dearest sister,

    Oh yes, sometimes with very young children it is better to stick to constuction paper and crayons.. or it can get veryyy messy *trust me*

    I have a suggestion though, if feesable... give each child a few stickers.. I don't know anyone who doesn't like stickers, and that will jazz up their cards a little... plus no mess, and easy to use :)

    Sounds like you are going to have a blast.. I wish I was there!! Let me know how it goes, insha'Allah.
