Ice Cream Cone

This ice cream cone might look yummy, but you won't want to eat it. It's made out of play-dough. My 12 year old daughter is so excited about the Simon Says Children's challenge, that she can't stop crafting! :) It's been a lot of fun watching my children get crafty!

Snow Sweet

Here is another sweet card from my 12 year old daughter. She is using an image from Tiddly Inks and sentiment from Digital Delights. She colored the image with colored pencils and used some glitter snow on her earmuffs. She made the marshmallows puff, using a snow marker. The sentiment has glitter glue on it to look like ice cycles. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy! :)

Snowman Snowflake

If you're looking for Incy Wincy's ATC Blog hop post please click here.

My 12 year old daughter cut this snowflake out and painted it with acrylic paint. The edges have little crosses, which I thought was awesome! She also had the idea to take two images and merge them together to make this cute snowman! She used two freebie images from Stamp Fairy. The Let it Snow sentiment and the two snowballs from the Mimi Winter set. She colored him with copic markers, adding a mouth, buttons, and arms. I am so glad you came by to see her craft! Have a blessed day!

Alright, we are on a roll! :) My youngest daughter, 10 years old, and her older sister, 12 years old, made this crafty igloo! They used mini marshmallows and hot glue. Inside they placed a bare toilet paper roll to make the tunnel. They did such a great job and had fun doing it!! I love their igloo and am so pleased with them also! It is fun to see your children's creativity flow! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone! I'm back with another one of my children's cards. This card was made by my 12 year old daughter. She wanted to use the cute image Snowboard Birdie from 2CuteInk. She chose the sentiment from Digital Delights Winter Ticket Sentiment set. She colored the image with markers and colored pencils. She matted the image with red cardstock and used a couple of snowflakes from my stash. We made a bow using some ribbon also from my stash. She did such a fabulous job! I'm so pleased with her Birdie card! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hi all! This time I'm posting an awesome card created by my son. He is 7 years old and used the image Snowball Penguin from 2CuteInk. He also chose the sentiment from Digital Delights Snow Sentiment set. He colored the image with markers and add some "snow" using a snow marker that puffs as you apply heat to it with your heating tool. I'm so pleased with how his card turned out. He worked hard on it and did it all on his own. :) I hope you enjoy his card today!

Make it Girly

Hi everyone! It's time for another awesome challenge at Crafty Sentiments! This week we are making those Girly cards or projects! I am using Jasmin Feathers. She's so lovely! I colored her with copics and used some flocking on her boa and liquid pearls on her necklace, shoes, headband, and on the embossed paper. The die cut is spellbinders floral ovals. I used three Die-namics dies; butterflies, rolled flowers, and mini rolled roses. I added shabby white frantage around my image and on a couple of the flowers. I used Paper Studio Intricate swirl for the embossing. I had the ribbon and feather in my stash. And lastly, I added a red pearl brad inside the rolled flower. Thanks for stopping by today! Please join us in our Make it Girly challenge at Crafty Sentiments! :) Can't wait to see your fabulous creations!
