All entries receive the Krafty Kids Sentiments for the crafty child and Mother's Day Sentiments for the crafty adult who helped them :)

We'd like to see the kids get creative too, and if they do, you will automatically receive two sentiments: Krafty Kids Sentiments and Mother's Day Sentiments. How do you receive the sentiments? Make sure you enter the child's creation in the SECOND InLinkz collection and make sure you enter in the correct email address. We will email you the sentiments as soon as possible! So gather your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, even a neighbor and get creative together! We find that bonding through art is a precious thing so please take advantage of it :)


We also have some very special guests joining us today!
