A Note of Thanks

Emily had her concert this week. I was so having issues with my camera....Even the camera on my phone would not focus. I guess the photo op was out. this time. Next time. She played very well. I can tell that she is very bored. I hope that she doesn't get discouraged and not want to play anymore. She is a natural and was doing all kinds of projects and solo's and mentoring other students last year. Now she is in a new school and main streamed and they are doing the same book as last year which is already mastered and NO solo's and NO extra projects and nothing to make her special and frankly is a ticket for disaster with Eme. She is a type of child that has to be challenged. We will see. Anyways, I made this card in honor .... MFT weekly sketch challenge. MFTWSC21.

Emily's Barnyard friends

While I was working on my projects and getting ready for my upcoming class. Emily is very busy making her stick animals. They are so awesome. She is using just scrap paper and popping all of the ears, eyes noses (I just love all the square noses. Popped Boxes). I thought I would give you a peek into what she has been up to also. Everyday she is creative with something. I will also show you a card when she finishes that she made to give to Grammy for being mean to her yesterday. I have to say that it came out really good.

Your My Prince Charming!

I'll tell you a little story about the color choices. I have a few repeat colors of the copic markers and my daughter (Emesoda) now wants to have her own copic markers. I said that she could have the repeat colors. Well she saw this cute little guy from Whiff of joy stamps. She wanted her colors to be his colors. *Wink. The things that we do for children. And she picked out the layout also; which is from MFT (mftsc09) Check out the layouts there. Very cool. Anyways. This is the fourth project that I am going to do at my class.

I used their invitation inside of the card and I made up my own outside. This is what I came up with. She can't wait. She wants to pass out her invites today. Had to sit on her.

Holy Christmas Critters!

Emily and I did the CHF Forum Online class. We had a ball making Kim Hughes' idea for Christmas Critter Magnets. Take a looksy.! She did an awesome job. The forum was a lot of fun. I am still trying to recover from laughing so hard. I can't wait until the next time/project. It should be a hoot.

Supplies: Favorite circle punch ( We used the Nesties!), Cardstock, CHF- Kim Hughes- Christmas Critters, Copic mkrs, sponge, Heavy Cardboard ( I used the saved sheets from scrap paper) and cut circles out. Magnet strips and they are on the back. I will show you Emily's in the next post.

You go Girl!!!!

You go girl! I am so proud of you for Many reasons. Keeping up with the challenge for 12 days. Winning of course. Emily won one of the Challenges... Day 8 of the Anni-Verve-Sary challenge on SCS. I am also proud of you that we did a lot of it together .. Mother and Daughter..

I love the fact that she can come in my craft room and get to work. I really don't like her using the paper cutter so I do that for her. She has some really good ideas. Check her stuff out on SC she is Emesoda.

You go Girl!

Emily has even been keeping up with all the challenges. I am so proud of her. I can't believe some of her work for an 8 year old is... is really good. She will be a great artist when she she grows up. *wink Plus..I just love having her in my craft room. So cool playing together.

Have an Awesome Mother's Day

My daughter Emily made this card for her grandmother this Mother's day. I do have to say that she is very talented and very critical of her work. I was working on my mother's day card for my husbands mother. I will show you after this entry. Anyways, Eme worked very hard on her card. Using some of the same embellies as I used on Bryan's Mom's card. She is so adorable. She wrote in the inside: Dear Grammy, I hope you have a awesome Mother's day. PS: Tell Poppa he' working to hard! Love Emily with lots of love and and then she drew pictures of her and Grammy in the inside... Oh so cute!
