Crafty Girls gettin' their collage on!

Armed with Scissors, Duck adhesive,and a pile of teen fashion mags, Sophia and her friend Shelby Created a Monogram collage of the things they like*right now* Nothing makes me happier than to see 12 year olds  cutting and pasting to theur hearts content! The top collage is Shelby's...very bright and cheery and pop art-ish and Sophie's is very subdued. Please note the word intense(she is very intense)..much like she dresses...and of course in true younger sister fashion Maddy had to create a collage of her own...Hers is the bottom one. Note that she named herself *Mad Dog* and has  big love, for pink the color and *pink the word*. I have not a clue in the world why Usher is on her collage or that she even knows who he is...but that's art for ya...She was quite anxious for me to share the collages with my readers...So Enjoy!

Some Projects for Kids....

So my assignment for the day was to play with fun foam, and figure out some fun ideas that could be used as activities for a childs party or for some mom and me craft time....the supplies all had to come from JoAnn's Fabrics and the project had to include the use of my AccuCut Machine and various AccuCut dies ....here are the first few ideas my girls and i came up with....These water bottle bags were made by Die Cutting Ultra thick fun foam with my fav flower dies and turning them into foam stamps....Maddy had a blast with this project.
