Got your number! PTI June Bloghop Colrs

I figured I'd best post this before the laptop goes to the shop for a check-up. Have been having some serious issues lately. I give up! Time for the professionals to bail me out.

This little guy is for one of the Paper Craft challenges, to use pages from the phone book. It is also a favorite color of PTI papers.

My grandson's birthday is soon so I decided to make his card using this KLM clown stamp. He was colored with Copic markers. Classic Numbers from SU is the 5 stamped on the background and the sentiment. The 5s in all the phone numbers are highlighted. Cardstock and ribbon are PTI,(Terra Cotta, Enchanted Evening, and Summer Sunrise). Sentiment was computer generated and punched with SU punches.

The Apple and the tree

There is something to that the old saying, " The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Cookie ( oldest grandchild) was here this weekend and watched me do some quick sketches before chores. Before you could turn around she had designed one as well. I let her loose in the craft room and this is what she did on her own. We did have to do a quick math lesson on measuring to an eighth of an inch but she caught on FAST! Pretty good job for 8 years old, don't ya think?

Fun Kid's Project

 

My apologies for the lousy photos, but I couldn't wait to share!  These are so cute and fast. They are magnets

. We are making these in school for Mother's Day. I used a Georgia Pacific White CS from WalMart and an inexpensive set of school grade colored pencils . You would not believe how smoothly the  color went on this paper. The red square in the photo is a magnetized label that is 2x2. My husband brought home a bag full of these when the company discontinued using them and threw them in the trash. (Dumpster Diving!)  There is a slick plastic surface (red) on the magnet. . I used the Tombow glue and spread it on thinly with the wide tip.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It worked like a charm! When

dry I covered them with a coat of  Modge Podge to protect them a little. I stamped 85 pieces  for the kids to color, and completed 9 , from start to finish in an hour and a half!  Hope the kids have as much fun as I did!
