Crafting With Kids - Last Card

And here it is - Kiri’s last craft of the summer - with school for her officially starting back this upcoming week we say goodbye to lake time and hello routines. 

This was a card that she created weeks ago but never got around to taking the pictures of. 

This card really does make me realize how true the sentiment is for Kiri in her daily life. Reading is as important to her as her crafting is - but let me tell you nothing tops her kitty cats! 

Thank you Simon Says Stamps for a fun filled crafty summer. Hope to do this again next year with my crafty girls.

Crafting With Kids - Sticker Making

Remember that time when your kids loved the box more than they did the gift that came in it? That really does go to show how inventive and creative kids can be when given the opportunity. This summer my niece and daughter played with many mediums. Some more expensive than others. 

This craft was created with paper , pencil crayons and tape - pretty basic craft supplies. 

Olivia created these cute fruit stickers - love her free hand drawing - so much better than her Auntie’s abilities. 

I think her sanding and fine black pen marks are her signature. 

Well done Olivia. 

This brings us to the end of our summer together. Till next year my crafty buddy!

Crafting With Kids - More Bracelets

Kiri jumped in with her cousins bracelet making. She used both beads and elastics to create her creations. 

I can not believe how many different mediums and types of crafts these girls do on a weekly basis. 

This has been a great way to document all the crafting the girls have done this year. 

Thank you Simon Says Stamp for this wonderful challenge.

Crafting With Kids - Bracelet Making

More fun craft time for the kids as summer comes to a close. Both cousins love to make bracelets with the bead kit that one brought to the cabin. 

Some examples of Olivia’s bead creations follow. 

These will be entered in the Kids Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

Crafting With Kids - Stitching

So my new favs are the cute embroidery hoop stitching dies from Lawn Fawn. They are so cute! So after seeing some of my many stitched hearts and all the different instructions for the cute fruit ones off my niece went to create. After a few questions answered by her cousin who had made a pineapple stitched fruit earlier this summer she was on her way.

Well done girlie! So cute! I may have to try these fruit ones next. 

I will be entering this for my niece in the following challenge.

Crafting With Kids Interactive Card

So while sitting around the kitchen table crafting I was inking with stencils, mom was fussy cutting, daughter was drawing in her sketchbook and this was what my niece was off creating all on her own. 

What a great evening of creativeness! So much fun.

Crafting With Kids - Clay Creation

My daughter loves everything crafty and creative and I love that I can offer her different artistic mediums to use and learn. This week she tried her hand at using clay. To be completely honest this is not my thing at all. So as long as she cleans up after herself I am fine with her doing it but it’s all on her. 

So being a crafter who also loves Pokémon she created this cute little charm to give as a keychain to her cousin. 

I do think that the little clip and chain was found in my craft room - it looks rather like one of my Tim Holtz ones 🤔.  Oh well - all in the name of crafting. And yes she did ask for permission to use it once she found what she had been searching for. 

What a kid! Great job Kiri. 

I will enter this for her into the following challenge
