Hi!
The Greeting Farm (TGF) had an Alter-Ego contest a little while ago and I never got to post what I made for it. It seems like forever since I used my TGF stamps. Truthfully, I had to dig my containers out of the cabinet to find the stamps I wanted to use. I don't seem to have as much time to "just craft" anymore. Lots of my crafting is dedicated to DT requirements which I love to do but sometimes you just want to do whatevers, you know?
Anyway, I wanted to use the
Trinket Box kit I bought from La-La Land Crafts. They have such fun looking kits and since it looks like a book, I thought it would go nicely with the TGF stamps I chose.
I chose to use Gracie's head with Annika's body. These two stamps (one old and one newer) are probably my favorites from TGF. I gave Gracie's head a little tilt. I added gesso and then painted the box in pink, and then glued the pieces all together. Once in a while I'll look through my stash and wonder geez, why don't I use all this stuff I have? So I literally try to use all the stuff I have on one project. Lots of flowers, ribbon and bling.
Here is a close up of Gracie/Annika. Isn't she sweet?
I've also been volunteering in my son's kindergarten class. I don't go often just once a week but I really don't know how these teachers do it. Twenty little 5-6 year olds clambering for your attention. I'm only in the room for maybe couple of hours but I'm exhausted when I get home. I actually need a nap! These teachers do so much! And I can't imagine the teachers that have more children in their classes in the upper grades. My older son has 27 kids in his class for one teacher. That seems like a lot.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
