S'mores
for Easter and another Flat Stanley!
I love being able
to share my love for papercrafting and Stampin' Up! any chance I get! So,
when I was browsing Pinterest with a fellow 2nd grade teacher and came across a
cute little cello bag treat we could make for our students, I jumped at the
chance! I showed all our teammates what the plan was and they all were on
board! They are not part of any craft group or club, just people I see
every single day--I secretly hope one day they will want to join! ;)
So, the Sunday
before Easter, we all came together at my house and the crafting began! I
had prepared the Top Note bag toppers beforehand and punched, stamped and
watercolored the little image, so they'd be dry and ready to go.
Everyone pitched in
and we were done with 100 in under an hour!
The kids loved
them! It was fun working with my team on something that wasn't a lesson
plan! lol
I just recently finished a Flat Stanley project for one of my cousin's sons. If you are not familiar with Flat Stanley, you must look it up! Cute story!! Well, I must have really done a great job, because another cousin (brother to
the mother of the first Flat Stanley kid) asked me to do their daughter's Flat
Stanley project!!! ahhhh! ;) Now I have to top what I thought was my
one and only! lol I need to make this scrapbook a little larger as
her Flat Stanley is unfolded and laminated! Gianna's note to me said to
PLEASE take care of him and return him in the same condition!
So, a new adventure
begins.....luckily, Flat Stanley #2 arrived the day we left for our annual trip
to Florida!
I will close with a
few photos of what Flat Stanley has done so far on our vacation! ;)
On a side note,
another cousin's girlfriend started up this company making amazing jewelry
(see picture above) using sand from all over! Each piece is unique and marked with which sand
from which beach was used. :) Check out her website if you'd like
and let her know Denise sent you! She even will do custom orders! I
already have plans for a friend's birthday!
The last is Easter
