We had
a wonderful Creative Fun Day on Saturday and lots of interesting projects were
made and new ideas hatched. I am excited
to show you some of them.
Susie –
who brought us some delicious cupcakes – made these beautiful autumn leaf
postcards with leaves she had collected and pressed and some Mod podge.
She
then took the extra stems of the leaves along with some felt scraps and made
this beautiful and colorful card.
Cherith
also made a series of cards and inspired us all with new creative ideas. Here are some of her cards.
Here are
some close-ups.
Makenna
arrived with a bag of duct tape and within 90 minutes had created – without directions
and using her own ideas – this beautiful duct tape lunch box for a very lucky
friend. It was amazing to watch her in
action as she put this project together.
Laura
stopped by, but didn’t have time to make anything of her own as she was on her
way out of town for the holiday. She helped
several of us with our projects and she brought her awesome finished Halloween
costume for us to see in person. If you
missed the updated picture on the October post, here it is.
I am
still laughing at Rachel’s creation – an Obama doll. My favorite part is the red tie! (Plus she brought me an unexpected gift of
river rocks and piled them decoratively by my driveway. Thanks Rachel!!)
Elizabeth
and Christy came and created an “Ugly Fish” doll (except that I think it is
beautiful and not ugly at all).
Elizabeth
also used some felt scraps to create these people
And
then she used the white board and my dry erase markers to create a scene around
her people. The creativity was just
bouncing off the walls this session!
I got
to help with several projects and also made a padded mailing envelope out of
wall paper and bubble wrap. (The bubble
wrap is glued inside and the wall paper was sewn on the sewing machine to make
the envelope.)
I also
decorated an ornament with handmade paper scraps. I think I will do another one of these using
scraps of book pages.
For
those of you that missed this month’s Creative Fun Day, I hope this post will
inspire you to join us next month on December 15! Thanks again to everyone that came and
shared in the Creative Fun!
