Doing “Reshersh”

We recently had a school day that involved some fairly in=depth study of the planets.  My kids requested the topic, and then spent nearly 3 hours watching videos, making paper plate planet models, and, as Elijah called it, “Doing reshersh.”  It was a completely awesome morning in every way.  I love watching my kiddos soak up information.

This is the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Collection- and it could not have been more perfect for this photo.  A little paint, some mist droplets, and layers.  Sweet!

Thanks for looking!

Painted Face

My daughter loves having her face painted!  This particular flower didn’t last long, though.  She smeared it just after I took this photo.  Oh, well, there will be more flowers. 

To give the Want2Scrap™ letters the watercolored look, I coated them first with gesso, then acrylic paint.  Once they were dry, I dripped some Shimmerz Spritz on them and blew it around with my heat gun until it dried.  Lovely!

Thanks for taking a peek.  You can see all the fabulous Want2Scrap™ Products HERE.

Letter Learning

Welcome to Wednesday!  I hope that this is a day of creativity for me, and for you!  I’ve got another project to share today for Little Black Dress Kit Club.  This kit, “Always Dream” is lovely!  I’ve used it down to the scraps.  Speaking of scraps, this layout uses a lot of them as the backing behind the Jenni Bowlin lettering guide (also in the kit),  I used the lettering guide to trace and cut letters before using it in this way, so it I really made it do double duty.  Love that!

The photo is of my second grade daughter helping her Kindergarten brother with some phonics and letter writing.  Precious moments to remember when they’re fighting like cats and dogs later, right? 

You can check out the kit and order yours HERE.

PS- the Scrabble letters and washi are to die for, but the Dr. Seuss flashcards?  Amazing!

Princess Quarters

I am soooooo sorry for the long silence!  My entire family has been hit with a virus, and we’re all coughing the days away.  This is now day 8 of the “plague,” and all I can do it hope it get’s better soon.  I’m working on projects when I can, and it’s nearly time for the reveal of the September kit for Little Black Dress.  So, I’m popping in to share another project from the August kit, “Lucky Penny”.  (You’re going to love the September kit, for realz… it has washi!  Shh…).

This sign is for a little girls bedroom door.  My daughter loves things like this, and I know other girls do as well.  There was some lovely Echo Park in this kit, which is featured here, along with some cute vellum from American Crafts. 

And, while I’m at it, here’s the card I made for August as well.  Yes, that’s some Sassafras!  I was thrilled to see it, since it’s not in stores anymore.  Anything for some more Sass.

Thanks for coming by!  I promise to kick this cough in the behind and get back to regularly posting SOON! 

You can check out all the details of this kit HERE.

3 Friend Pile Up

Every summer, we try to go at least once to let the kids play in the fountains at Purdue University.  This pose is one I try to get a shot of every year.  Man, those kiddos seem to just get bigger and bigger.

I used Dear Lizzy Neapolitan from American Crafts for this page.  Thanks for coming by!
