Britton, 10 , SSS Entry



My 10 year old daughter, Britton, loves stamping with me so when I found the SSS summer kids challenge I turned my craft room over to her.  I had a bit of a mess to clean up after but you arent really crafting if you arent making a mess!!  I didnt realize she had picked up so many techniques when she has joined me during my crafting sessions so I was more than impressed with what she came up with and the finished product!!  She has been able to draw extremely well as long as I can remember and apparently can give her mother a run for her money with her skills at stamping and ink blending!!   
Submitted to the following challenge:

1st Challenge Project!!


Hello, Jill here, and Welcome to my very first project for the very fun Girls Creative Fun Art of Scrap!!
This is such a fun challenge because it is  always going to be anything goes as long as you use patterned paper.  Lets be honest my fellow crafters we all have a ton of beautiful paper we have horded over the years and are afraid to use because we love it and want to hold onto it or we arent quite sure what to do with it.  I am nowhere near the level of the other talented ladies on the team but I hope my projects help to inspire and jumpstart your creativity on how to use them because I know the other excellent projects will!!  Just remember the most important things when entering is create in the way that makes you happy because it will be beautiful every time and most importanly have fun doing it!!

My project for our 1st challenge is so simple, I used some patterned paper from stampin up (retired, name escaping me but I will get it and update), the die set is also from a retired stamp and die set called tricks and treats.  It came with a great die to make these adorable little treat bags that could be used all year to really stretch your crafting supplies and your $$.  I die cut the boo and the tags from glow in the dark paper also retired but had a little left and thought it would add a nice finishing touch.  I also decided to stamp some bats and eeks in memento black ink on pumpkin pie ribbon which matches the main color of the bag.  

I hope you will join us the 25th of every month for this fun challenge because we cannot wait to see your Beautiful creations using up that stash of pretty papers!!
