CHOC was the first children’s hospital in Orange County and serves an estimated pediatric population of over 1,156,000 children. After the Build-A-Bear activity, you will have free time to browse, shop and have lunch on your own at Fashion Island. This open air shopping center is Newport Beach’s finest mall with a mixture of boutiques, retail stores and delicious restaurants. A map of the mall will be provided. Come join the fun on Saturday morning and learn how to create beautiful Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). Candy Colwell will teach the basic principles of paper crafting that can also be applied to scrapbooking and card making. She will guide you through the making of a “steampunk” style ATC. Then you will be free to create your own original and wonderful designs. There will be all sorts of images, trims, papers and “bling” to express yourself through your art.
