One of my favorite classes to teach is my Kids Kraft Klass! On Sunday, I had 5 kids here making some Easter Crafts :) Treat Tube: These were leftover from the Who's Your Valentine Kit.  Actually the tubes are available all the time, but I had leftover boxes. We cut some grass out of Sweet Leaf patterned paper, and stamped a pre-cut Easter Egg in Buttercup with the Easter Wishes stamp set in Sky ink.  Tied a ribbon on the top and filled with Easter colored M&M's.   Bunny Card: I found a tutorial for cutting an Easter Bunny using Art Philosophy ( here ), and modified it to fit on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. We used White Daisy Cardstock, sponged Blush pink on some of the pieces, added Black Sparkles for the eyes and pieced it all onto Sweet Leaf or Crystal Blue cardstock. Mine:   My kids cards (mine is in the middle):   Paper Strip Bunny I have seen some cool things created using scraps of paper strips recently and thought it would be nea...

Its almost Springtime here and I can't wait.  My flowering pear trees are FULL of the little white flowers already and we have pretty daffodils that have sprouted.  Now if the weather would STAY at 70 degrees I'd be one happy lady! I created this card with the inspiration of my trees in the front yard.  My son wanted to make a card so while he stamped, this one just kind of evolved. I stamped the tree first, then the kids on the bench.  It needed some grass below (my daughter helped me with this part).  Then (she helped me) stamp the sun in two colors on the top.  I added the sentiment at the top too.  But being a 6x6 white card, it needed a whole lot more.  I stamped a cloud then cut it out.  Using it as a mask, I sponged Sky ink to create the sky.  I tore some paper and used that as a guide for my landscape sponged in Sweet Leaf ink.  All that was missing was a big yellow button for the sun. And voila!  While supervisin...

We are moving at the end of the month and I've been on the lookout for fun, creative artwork for my kid's playroom.  I came across something similar, somewhere in blog land.  I took a 16x20 canvas (wish it was larger) and painted it black.  Then I cut out 4x4 and 5x5 squares of white cardstock.  I painted my sons hands in rainbow colors and "stamped" them on the larger squares.  Then painted my daughter's hands in the bright and fun colors and "stamped" them on the smaller squares.  This was the arrangement I came up with!  The squares are just adhered with foam tape.  I hope they stay up there!!  I thought having some personalized artwork would not only be fun, but something to treasure too :-) What do you think???
