Bookmarks...

It may sound silly, but one thing I was looking forward to as my little guys started school was baking treats for his class on special occasions.

Sadly...there is a no treat policy at his school and I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do (lip glosses and pencils from the dollar store ??)

So a few weeks ago when Joyce sent me a beautiful Owl bookmark I was saved ! Totally cased her design, and thankfully crafty friends had the Owl Punch from SU and PTI's bookmark die for me to borrow...

These were done surprisingly quickly. I sent the circle and pinking circle from Limitless layers through my big shot together.. and instead of gluing the itty bitty eye centres I used a white gel pen.

Also, I cut the strips of paper to an approximate length before punching them out to conserve paper and avoid a bunch of punched out shapes I didn't need.

Vasili loved them, his classmates and teacher loved them, and he loooooved handing them out on the playground !!

Kids Cards

Hello I'm back today with a couple of kids cards. Really quick and really simple - but that doesn't mean not just as special!

Both these cards are for 2 year olds....don't want to spend TOO much time and effort for something that may be .... accidentally ....destroyed.

So, I like to keep some special little touches that kids might appreciate on hand - namely stickers.

On the girl card I used PTI paper and some MME stickers....even on sale these buggers aren't cheap!!

I used Edgers 3 to make a little hill, coloured some alpha stickers pink and used a PTI tiny tag on the ribbon. The most time consuming thing about this card was remembering how to set the eyelet with my crop-a-dile! Don't use it often enough!!

Next a cute little monster card. I used various MME papers from lime twist line (fly a kit I believe) to make little patterned scallops.

Cut a Mat stack out of PTI Hawaiian shores, and matted a scallop circle of Terracotta Tile.

More cute little stickers..and a grosgrain ribbon.

So a couple of little kid cards that were quick and easy..going to a couple of my favourite littles !!
