Stamp with Heather

Mark's Class Craft

  Happy Thursday to you!  I'm sorry for posting so late today but I wanted to be able to share with you Mark's version of his class craft online.  He reminds me he doesn't craft as often as Emma and that when he does I should really share his creations...how sweet!  Anyhow, I got to go into Mark's class today and make a Halloween treat with the kids.  It was so much fun!  It really makes me miss having my own "classroom" (although I then go home and realize this is where I really need to be:)

Now I could have sworn I saw an idea similar to this online somewhere but when I went back to look for it, I couldn't for the life of me find it.  So then I started wondering if I just dreamt it but I really think this idea came from someone and I would love to credit it if you know the rightful creator:)

The box is a triangle box (very simple box to make that requires a half sheet of paper) and then extra embellishments.  The craft didn't take too long to make in class (maybe about 40 minutes with 20 kids...so this was perfect!

The kids could pick purple, gray or black for their boxes.  Mark picked purple as you can see from his creation.  Hope you like it and I'll see you back tomorrow!  Take care.

Happy Saturday to you!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!!!  Can't believe we are midway through August already....WOW!

Today I thought I'd showcase a few of the cards that Emma has been making lately.  She's on a great roll and is making some wonderful creations.  We spend a lot of time together in the craft room but she will also go up and make a card on her own (as she is right now as I'm typing about her!) 

I love this first card she did...so simple yet cute! She stamped the walrus in Basic Gray and then cut him out and popped him up.  The ice is also stamped in Basic Gray and attached to the card front.  Then she though it needed snow so hand drew in the dots with the White Gel Pen.  The clouds are simply the scalloped oval and voila you have a card!

This second card uses the same stamp set (from the new mini) called Cold and Cuddly.  She stamped and cut out each image, sponged on the snow and added the snowflakes!  Too cute!

I love to read our posts about your children or grandchildren stamping with you.  I would LOVE to showcase their work on my blog as many of you way they watch my videos or check out my blog.  I think it would be fun for them to see their work on my site!  So, if you're interested, email me photos of a child in your life's creation and I will do a post on it next week.  I'll set the due date as Wednesday, August 19th.  Have a wonderful day!

Kids Class

I am so excited about this project!  I think it turned out great, and Emma actually squeeled when she saw the finished project!!!!  I am going to buy a 3M door hanger thingie and hang this on Emma's door.  Her favourite part is either the bulletin board and push pins or the "secret" message holder spot!

Not only will your kids get to make this super cute project BUT they will also get to use the Big Shot, the Crop-o-dile and some other fun stuff!!!

Date: January 31st

Cost: $22 (which includes the stamp set You and Moi)

Time: 9:30 to 11

Limit: This class will be capped at 8 as it is a bit more involved. 

Hope you can make it!
