Project #1: They are doing a V-day card exchange in her class. While I was at the dollar store I called home to see what type of cheesy character set of V-day cards she wanted. She didn't. She wanted to make her own cards. No problem.
Project #2: She had to design a holder that had an opening for the cards to drop in easily. The top 5 original ideas will win a special treat (meaning another lollipop probably). She said, "Everyone's doing those mailboxes mom, I want to come up with something different." Fine. Except that we read the
due date wrong.The results: I used TGF's digital unicorn that is so cute and user friendly. I ran off 21 images on the computer and printed them out on cs. What a time saver! Then she colored them all to match her classmates' personalities...at first. We had to urge her to just color them quickly as it was approaching bedtime. We cut the unicorns out with a scalloped punch and then mounted them on scrap cs cut to make 3x3s.
Here's what she chose for her altered Valentine
card holder. Interesting pick! I applauded her vision. 
:D This is what it turned into:Not much different but now covered in sassy heart DP. She is not the biggest fan of pink so she chose brown to accent it. I ran off a bigger version of the unicorn for her to color and add to the tissue box then I trimmed pieces of ribbon so she could edge it all around. By this time though she was so tired and asked me to do it for her. Poor thing!
See that card on the left? She made it all by herself for her teacher using the basket weave technique with red, white and black scraps. Very cool, and it's packed up and ready to go!
I'll be posting one of my cards soon for the Club Anya sketch challenge, DS woke up to play while I was starting to put it all together. ;)
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! One day closer to the long weekend...
*Love and Aloha*
