Quick - Easy-Cute and for the kids.

This week's blogger's challenge is to use punches or diecuts.  Well this is perfect since I have a Mommy and Me class at my church tomorrow and I wanted another quick and easy idea.  The kids range from 4-10.  Big gap.  We are making the photo holder and desktop calendar from this post and then I thought we could make these too.  The sayings are too cute.



Here is a picture of one in my son's book.




In case you can't read the sayings here they are...

If your a bookworm, we are made for each other.  apple
Lemon help you keep your place.  lemon
Berry yourself in books. Reading is sweet.  strawberry
Orange you glad you are reading this book?  orange--not shown.

Stamps: Tart and Tangy
Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: yoyo yellow
Other: markers, gazzle cutter for bookmarks, circle punches, computer for words.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend.  I know I will.
Sleepover in a church guy with bunch of cubscouts!

Church--busy weekend but will be so much fun!

    I have to believe that every single child who gets to do this will love it! And then to have something of their own in their books -- reading is the best, after stamping, of course!

    These are adorable! What's great about an age range like that with this project, everyone will just work at it at their own level! It's a great project for that!
