Trampoline Christmas

 

I wanted to give an experience for Christmas instead of an actual toy gift to our littlest nieces (3,4 and 6). So we decided to give them a gift to the trampoline park here in Ohio. With this gift card they can play for 3 hours. Pretty cool!

Since 2 of my nieces live together... I chose to do only 2 cards instead of 3.

I designed them within My Memories Suite digital software and found the trampolines and people online (free clip art).

I chose the DSP (Designer Series Paper) from 'Country Woods' DSP pack.

The spray is made using the 'Pretty Pines' dies.

The sentiment is from the 'Wishes All Around' stamp set.
