Noah's Card

My youngest son loves to stamp with me. I always give him a piece of card stock and let him go to town. Do you remember the song from the 80's, Dancing in the streets? Noah's card is Stampin in the Streets. Isn't it adorable? I am definitley framing this. He was so proud when I told him I was going to put it on my blog. Great job Noah!!
