SPS September Blog Hop

Hey everyone! Welcome to this month's Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop. If you want to head to the top of our hop, go to Missy's Blog and see what she's created.

This week's theme for the Pumpkin Spice challenge is "work". You really could go so many directions with this topic! I'm an ER nurse at the city hospital so "work" has many meanings to me. I was cruising through my Cricut cartridges and happened upon these cute cuts for "first aid". I added them to the fry box and filled it with candy. Nothing says "first aid" like a box full of candy!

We R Memory Keepers Guest Designer

I am so excited! Today I am the guest designer over at the We R Memory Keepers Blog

I was sent the Storytime paper collection and told to make something great. Using the Envelope Punch Board I created this mini album. Aren't the papers so cute!

Here's the cover of the mini album!

"Our Farm Tales" Board Book

Hello everyone! It's my turn to post over at the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

I have such a fun project to share with you today!

If your kids are anything like mine, the moment you start crafting, they want to be a part of the project your making. "Mommy can I help?" "Mommy can I use that paper too?" "Mommy can I sit on your lap?". It's so sweet, but sometimes when mom is in a hurry, I have to get them started on their own project. So when I got some Bo Bunny 6x6 board books in the mail, I knew I wanted to create a book with my kids! They were thrilled with the idea too.

I started by cutting out some white computer paper into 4x4 squares. With my kids advice, I stamped some fun farm scenes using the Penny Black stamps "Mimi's Farm". I assembled each page with some paper and a journaling tag. Then I had my kids "tell me the story" for each page. It was hilarious what the kids came up with!! Now we have a fun book to read that we made together.

 With a black pen I added some detailing to each scene.
Then I wrote their "tales" onto the journaling tag. 

And I colored each picture with some colored pencils.

The initials on each tag is the kid who "wrote" the tale.

 The pig page was written by my daughter. 

"Piggly Squiggs squiggles her tail so hard she rolls over & over. She likes her home. Riding home."

My son asked what the box was below the fence in the chicken picture. I told him it was a water trough. He thought otherwise.

"The chicken likes to jump on the trampoline. The sheep came to jump too."

"Buck the Duck is walking around with no such thing. The chicks are following behind. The rooster says 'Duck-a-doodle-doo'!"

"Purple Milk Cow is picking grass. She likes to stare at people."

"These sheep kept jumping over the fence until every one of them poked their feet.'

Supplies:

Now this has become the "go to" book for my kids at bedtime. They think it's hilarious when I read one of their pages. What a fun project. Definitely going to do this again. 

Have a great week!
