Kid’s Craft Week #16-Painting Rockets

This week The Girlio has been coloring and painting some white chipboard rockets we got at Michaels.  They come 12 to a pack, so plenty to play with!

She also has been making more donuts lately-we even made a smaller version (to use up some scraps.)  And, a construction paper rainbow was made.  Lots of fun crafting going on here!

So, thought I would show you a picture of the Crafty Wall of Goodness in our dining area that has all of the rockets, and other projects from the last few weeks.  I figure we should leave them out and enjoy them instead of just creating a big pile in her room.  🙂

My favorites are definitely the bright multi-colored rockets and the mini donuts.  We will probably add another string above these three, but definitely can’t add any lower as The Weebo can reach them and will either destroy or chew on them.  🙂

Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop

If you have made it here for the blog hop, you are in the right place!  If you get lost, or would like to hop from the beginning go here.

The challenge for this blog hop was to do something creative with flowers.

I decided to make a card.  My flower was created using alternating circles made from an old white t-shirt and patterned paper with a rubon in the center.

2 Hip To Be Square card

Here is another shot from the other side so that you can see the rubon in the center better.

I was going for a flower in a planter look, while also doing a clever saying.  🙂

Supplies: Patterned Paper and Letter Stickers: Echo Park; Pen: Signo; Other: t-shirt

Well, hope you enjoyed my project, and continue the hop on to Laurie’s blog!

Tic Tac Toe Challenge at The Paper Variety!

This week’s challenge was to choose three in a row from this tic tac toe board:

I chose: stitching, a card, and the color pink.  Here is my project:

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Bo Bunny; Other: thread

Instructions:  I trimmed the white flower out of a piece of patterned paper, poked holes with a needle, and stitched between the points. I trimmed the middle flower out of another piece, attached the two flowers together, and then folded a third piece of paper in half, adhered it to the first two flowers, and trimmed around them to create the card.

This is a very fun challenge (so many great options!), and I encourage you to play along!  You can check out all the details here.

Did I mention there is an amazing prize up for grabs if you enter?

Here is an example of a kit available for purchase at Freehand Scraps:

Pretty amazing, right?  So, go play, and upload your entry!!!

Happy Embellishments!

This week’s assignment was to use products that make you happy.  Here is my layout:

Holy Moly

LOAD Week 4: Layout 3

Supplies: Letter Stickers, Tags, and Tape: American Crafts; Buttons, Banners, and Flower Stickers: Pebbles; Ribbon: Pink Paislee; Doilies: For the Luv of Art

The American Crafts tags and the Pebbles embellishments were ones I really have had my eye on for quite some time.  But, because they were never on sale, I didn’t purchase them.  Now that all the new products have started coming in, I thought I had better pick them up before no one had them any more, and I am SO happy I did!  I absolutely love them as much in person-so much fun to play with!  🙂

There ended up being a gap in between my journaling and my picture, so I added a flower and did some doodling to fill it in, and add some doodling in other places as well.  I also added some pop dots under the banners to give some more dimension to them.

Love my journaling this time around-really captured where we were at that moment and how the picture made me feel.  I don’t usually journal so much, but I really had a story to tell, so that was fun!  Anyway, enjoy!
