Father's Day Kids Craft - Clothes Pin and 6x6 Page

We are doing this project at an upcoming Kids Craft Program at a local library. Although this project looks elegant, it is relatively very easy for a child to do (2nd - 5th graders, with the assistance of a parent). The hardest part is the "punching" and I normally do that part for them. I love this stampset, Baroque Motifs and Chocolate Chip ink!
