Penny Pencil

  Good Morning!  

Today's Post is about the Simon Says Kids Summer Vacation Challenge. 

Last week Penny and I spent some time together and created 

this FUN Back to School Pencil!  

It's a Penny Pencil! 

(but looks like a Dr. Suess Pencil lol)  

Made from a Yellow Pool Noodle and some

Alpha Stickers, Construction Paper and Foil.  

I know the top is a bit wonky looking but this was shipped from China, via Amazon and arrived looking like a pretzel, actually a paper clip so I think we did a pretty good job with straightening it out lol

Penny started 1st Grade yesterday and had an awesome day!

She is a crazy good reader and is probably the kindest kid in class.

We Are So Proud Of Her!

And she is a Bus Rider this year, which is very exciting!

Here's her project!

 Penny and her 1st Grade Pencil.

 

Peace Baby!

 She is so grown up!

 Later Dude!

I know she will have an awesome school year!

Thanks for popping in!

Enjoy~~

Double D, Shapes

Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile: 

Shapes.  

(squares, rectangles, circles, or ovals).

I also included Triangles!

Here is what I created!

I actually created 2 cards, not very quick, but super easy!

I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Collection dies 

to create my colorful shapes.  The set includes lots of scallop edged shapes.

I took several strips of colorful paper and adhered them all down to a white piece of card stock.  Then using the postage shape dies I die cut lots and lots of shapes.

I framed off a border on my white card stock and blended ink on to it.  

This made a nice spot for all of my pretty shapes to be glued down to.

Gina K Designs Wishes stamp set.

Cheery Lynn Happy die.

Tuxedo Black ink.

Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks.

A little bit of work, but I love the outcome!
