I hope you're having a great weekend! Ours is super fun! I am excited to share that I am done all of the cozy orders that have been placed and they will be shipped out tomorrow! How fun is that!?!? I've been having so much fun making them, tahnk you!!!
Nathan is doing much better at school now and gets so excited to bring home his adorable projects to share wit us. For this project, I started with a blank 8-1/2" x 11" page and used punches to create the 8" x 8" Poppy Parade background. It’s very clean and simple. I then used the Timeless Type Junior Letters Punches for his name and filled them in with colors and Designer Series Paper. The colors used on this project are Old Olive, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Pool Party, and So Saffron. The apostrophe is actually the wing from the bird punch. I then created a text box for the "hard work". To the right of the image you can see that I just made a few punch boxes and filled them with Designer Series Paper. These were made to cover the clothes pin. (I just wasn't sure what color I wanted to use!)

Then I printed the images on the thicker-weighted print options, cut it out, and voila! This project was very simple to put together and hangs proudly in our kitchen!
I also thought I'd share with you a few lunch notes I made for Nathan using the same color scheme. I started sending cards in his lunch every once in a while and he was coming home disappointed if I missed too many days in a row. I don't always have the time to stamp him a card, so I thought that creating little lunch notes would be quick and cost effective! He got his first one on Friday and came hope pretty happy about it!!! YAY! I hope you enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another stocking die project and video!!!
Take care,
Heather
