Kid Inspired Snowflakes

Your kids are always inspiration. So I was scrapn' and Deegan wanted to keep putting his hands in the white ink. And this idea came to me. Let Him! so we took turns putting our hands in the ink and made snowflakes. We just used the white ink on blue paper. Then I cut around them. Make sure you use washable ink. I also put their names and the date on them. Then I added tape so they could stick them to the window. It was fun, easy and minimal mess! And no two will be the same!!!!

Kids Christmas Craft

So my pictures are backwards. This is the finished project. We made Christmas Trees! I cut out the trees and they punched holes in the paper. Then I glued a yellow tree behind it so it would look like lights on the tree. Then they colored noodles and glued them on. We also glued on fuzzy balls, some little bells and sequins. Then we added the star on top. It was easy and fast. The best part was it entertained for at least an hour!

Another twist

Another awesome idea for an advent calendar, thanks to Renee. This is a metal tray and the little boxes are match boxes emptied out, then decorated. To get them to stick just add a magnet to the back and some yummy candy inside. Voila!

Lastest and Greatest

This is what I was working on last week. It is an advent calendar for Christmas Countdown. Jen saw it featured on KSL Studio 5. It was an idea from Heartland paper. It is just a mini muffin tin decorated. Each number has magnets to keep it on. Then you put the candy behind the number. The only thing I haven't finished it drilling holes in the top to hand it from some ribbon. Also I need to make a little magnet that says, "Christmas Countdown." Both websites are under my favorites.

December Neighbor Gift

For Christmas we are always trying find gifts for family but when you add in friends and neighbors it can get a little pricey so these are an inexpensive way to give a little something. They are just jelly jars. A circle paper cut and glued to the top. Decorative paper layered around the middle. We used a stamp set from Close To My Heart for the tag and the middle. To add a little sparkle we used liquid glass (from Close to my Heart) on some of the words and sprinkled glitter on top of it. Also a little sparkle to the tag. Tied with ribbon. To finish it off add your favorite treat inside. You could put in any kind of Christmas candy or make your own. Another idea you could add hot chocolate and a candy cane on the outside. I found white chocolate with candy cane kisses. They are really good!

Give Thanks Card

This was Novembers activity a fall thank you card. The leaves are from a Close to My Heart Stamp set. This set is really neat because you stamp the leaf then the veins are a separate stamp you stamp on top.

October Craft

For October we saw this cute idea on Tausha's blog, so thanks Tausha. We got a plate from the dollar store and painted it black, The middle paper was modge podged on. The circles and buttons were hot glued on. The spooky was from the circut and the cobweb ands spiders were from a really cute stamp set from Close to my Heart!

Something Fun

My mother made this at relief society and it is so cute. It would be pretty easy to make. Another idea to add would be think of a couple of words that use most of the same letters so you could change it around.
