The Paper Player: CAS challenge

Today my card is Clean and Simple (CAS) for

The challenge on 

The Paper Players Blog

to make a card for kids.

This card is for the daughter of a friend

who loves foxes.

All materials are from Stampin'Up!.

For the background I used a decorative mask

and two colors of green ink.

The fox stamp is from the set Foxy friends as well as the tree trunk.

The sentiment is from another set called Amazing Life.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Stamping together

The other day after a family outing, my grandson

wanted to come to my house to watch some tv

and play with my stamps. He choose a set that

fitted his t-shirt!

We played with the dino's from 

Stampin'Up! called "No bones about it".

We stamped together, he did the large dino's

and I added the bones. He told me what ink colors to get.

He made a whole page with dino's and we cut

it to size for a card and added some on top with foam tape.

Then decorated the card with glitter glue.

Some of the left over dino's were also ued for the inside

of the card. And he even took some home to finish.

I want to enter Owen's card in the Kid's challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

I made this card with the sketch from the

Sundaystamps Blog.

Here you see the inide of the card.

My grandson is a real artist, he made is own art show

in his room, taping all his drawings to the wall.

He just turned 5, so what will he make when he is

a little bit older?!

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap August Team Challenge: Back to school

Welcome to another fun challenge and blog hop of the

Artist Team from Club Scrap.

Yes it is that time of the year again and the kids go back to school.

Some moms I am sure are very happy that school starts again.

I noticed a fun video on Facebook about it the other day!

I hope you have arrived here from 

Pam's Blog

and seen her great ideas with going back to school projects.

As you know I live in The Netherlands and we do not have 

special traditions around going back to school.

But through Facebook, I see these fun things people do in 

America, like a picture when their kids go back to school.

So.... I had the following idea: Owen, my eldest grandson - ag 4 - 

is going to school on  Monday August 29 and I wanted 

one of these pictures with him in a frame.

Idea for project #1 was born: make a school frame.

So I started out with making a wooden frame and painted it 

with black gesso.

Then I found this picture on internet and looked through all 

my Club Scrap papers and printed thes on red, blue, yellow,

orange, and green...well the main colors. And I had this:

a lot of crayons nearly ready to go on the frame.

With an oval punch and black paper, I finished the crayons.

Now the were ready to add to the frame with the fantastic

Club Scrap bookbinding glue.

So here are the crayons glued to the frame and I added 

Owens name to it with an alphabeth that is from the Fizz kit 2010.

Wonderful childlike lettering and also looking like written on a 

blackboard stamped with Club Scrap white inkpad.

Translation from the Dutch: 

Owen's 1st school day in Elementry School 2016.

No picture yet for the first day will be Monday.

Watch my facebook then!!

So what else did I came up with:

Made some card and a fun pencil (inspired by pinterest).

Owen loves choclate, so a roll of Dutch chocolate and some paper

makes this fun and delicious pencil.

No template, just went along with the

rol of chocolate. So if you want to make one too,

you have to adjust to the rol and make as you go.

Translation of the Dutch:

Have a lot of fun at school xx Oma

For one card, I started with embossing black paper

with a number embossingfolder and white ink.

Here the finished card with the letters of the Fizz alphabet

and punched out stars (for sure Owen is going to shine in school).

And for the next card I used a drawing of Owen

scanned and resized for this card and added smaller crayons..

Here you see the inside of the czrd.

Then I showed this card to Owen and he said:

Oma, I don't like that you did this and he got to work:

Made some drawings on black paper and said:

now you can add the crayons and in a jiffy we had a

bunch of cards. 

So these were my ideas, but there are more, like hop 

over to 

Jennifers Blog

and see what she has come up with.

If you happen to loose your way, go back to the

Club Scrap Blog, 

where you find all the blog addresses.

Thank you for looking

and hope all your (grand)kids have a great and creative year!
