Lady Stamp-A-Lot: Her & Me

Her & Me

Each month I teach a "kids" class at a local community center. The class is called "Her & Me" because each child has his/her mother, grandmother, or other adult there to help with the project. These are the projects we made at Monday night's class - and they were a big hit! Each child made three rosettes - I did quite a bit of the prep work by cutting out the pieces using the "Round We Go" dies - but they did the accordian folds and glued various hearts together for the centers. We hot glued the rosettes to skewers - and then poked them into a piece of pool noodle inside the tin bucket, hidden by a layer of tissue paper. Finished the whole thing off with some ribbon and a few small heart picks from the Dollar Tree. Super cute!

I never know how long it will take for everyone to finish making the project - so I also prepared two Valentine's Day cards for them to make as well. The girls loved using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to add texture to one of the card fronts. They did a great job with stamping - especially since they were using red ink!

Below is a closer look at my sample projects - and I notice that one of my rosettes is backwards! It really doesn't matter since we used double sided paper - the back is just as pretty as the front. I only glued a circle to the back (instead of hearts.)

Below are three of the projects made at Monday's night class, and the three girls (& me!) who made them. The girls were so excited about giving these masterpieces to their teachers the following day - for them to put on their desks and enjoy all month long.

I have some great photos of all the class participants - with everyone wearing a HUGE SMILE - but since I did not get permission from everyone to post - I will not share those photos here.

These classes fill up quickly - even though they have NO IDEA what project we will be making each month. I usually don't even know - until the week before! (Talk about procrastination!) I always have a few ideas - but I can never seem to narrow it down until the last minute!

I used a lot of retied products and some past Paper Pumpkin kits for these projects - but below are two of the current items we used to make these projects.
