Warm Fuzzies

Hello and welcome creative people.

Today I have a card to share with you.

I was going through a stash of images that I found

in my craft space that I had totally forgotten about.

I found this one and decided that I needed to make it into

a card for my grand kids.

I colored and flocked this several years ago and 

I'm not sure what company it's from or if it's even available

any longer.

I colored the caterpillar, then added a little bit of glue

to areas on the little guy.

I then added green flocking for a fuzzy look.

I went through my background stash and found

one that I felt matched with the image and used that for

the background panel.

I think the kids will get a kick out of this card.

I think it's adorable.

Thanks for sending some time with me,

I hope you've been inspired in some way,

and will come again soon.

Until then,

use an old supply that you forgot you had.

Maybe you have some flocking in your stash too.

 

Creating with Marie

Hello crafters!

Of course I'm a big supporter of arts and crafts 

for children.  This little one is my granddaughter, Marie

and at this writing she is 2 yrs and 4 months old,

but she is already very crafty.
Last week I was lucky enough to have her 

to myself for the whole day.

I wanted to do a project with her,

so I cut an egg carton in half and pulled out

the paints.
She was happy to be able to paint and do crafts

with G-Ma.

I covered her tray and a plate with plastic wrap,

this sure helps with the clean up.
She got to choose the colors and chose

a light and dark blue and black.

Then she got to work making her 

caterpillar.

She took it very seriously and wanted

to do a nice job, which of course she did

and got high praise from G-Ma.

Spreading the paint over the entire plate

was also very nicely done.

A little bit of paint on the face never hurt either.

After her nap, she picked some eyes from my stash and

we glued them on and drew a smile with a crayon together.

We talked about the fact that a caterpillar makes it's own 

house, called a chrysalis and grows into a beautiful

butterfly.

She was very excited to show Mommy and Daddy

what we made together.

Maybe next time we'll make some butterflies. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll come again

soon.  Until then,

craft with a child.
