Greeting Card Contest

Yesterday, the kids decided to enter a greeting card contest for the chance to win $5000 in college tuition. There are only two winners, so the likelihood of them winning is slim, but regardless, it was a good chance for them to embrace their creativity. The theme is "Joy to the World" and all the proceeds go to UNICEF to help children all over the world, so at least it goes to a good cause. I thought they did a cute job so I wanted to share their final products before I send them in. This is Tessa's card(above)

This is Jesikah's card


This is Alex's card

I think I may have encouraged them a little too much to the side of world peace, but with the celebration of Christmas not really being universal, I didn't know exactly what direction to encourage them. Tessa's first idea on the "Joy to the World" theme was a picture of baby Jesus. As much as I liked the idea, I'm quite confident hers would have been disqualified for religious connotations and she wouldn't have had a chance. But, she's right, that is the reason that we sing "Joy to the World".
