I'm over the MOON for you!

Hello, today I am sharing with you what I made for my son's 3rd grade class for Valentines. I know Valentines is over, but it's still February!!  I had so much fun making these cute tags and putting together these bags of goodies. 

I was so happy when my son said he wanted a space theme this year, I got to use the Space Explorer stamp set from My Favorite Things for the first time since I got it!

These little astronauts turned out so adorable. I colored them just the way he wanted me to. When I asked him what color he wanted his space suit to be he said Red, with blue accents. I used some crayola and other no name brand pencils for the coloring. I don't use my really good Prismacolor pencils for the little kids, they just throw things like this in the garbage. Most people wouldn't have shaded and done as much detail as I did, but I figured it was great practice! I want to improve in my coloring so I went all in on 25 of these little astronauts!  

I used the Falling Stars Stencil from Simon Says Stamp with a white pencil to add some light stars in the background for a simple galaxy. I added a moon on the bottom of the circle tag with some scrap gray paper that I had in my stash, using a gray pencil I lightly added some moon craters to give it more detail and hopefully make it look more like the moon. I stamped my sentiment on it with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. 

I used the coordinating dies of the stamp set to cut out my astronauts and adhered them with Tombow Mono Multi glue, I punched a small hole and tied it to the bag of goodies (milky way candy bars, 2 glow sticks, and a pencil with  a fun star eraser topper) with some red ribbon. 

I love how they turned out, and hope I get to play with this stamp set again, it has the cutest images in it! 

Thanks for visiting, have a great day and happy crafting!!

Basketball Goodie Bags for our 3-4 Grade Girls team!

I am so glad to be back posting again. It will be hit and miss for a little while though, we are in the process of finding a bigger house and making a move, which I am so excited for because then I might actually get my own craft space! 
 I have so much to show you of different projects I have been making and don't know what to start with. Well, since we just finished our 3rd Grader's Basketball season a little bit ago I will share the goodie bags I made for my daughter's team. They were such a fun group of girls to coach and work with and we had a fun time with them.

I used the sports mania cartridge, paper from my stash, and a white gel pen. super simple and easy. I don't go too complicated because most of the time the kids just throw them away anyway. But they all loved them!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope to share more with you later. I have my card swap tonight and so maybe I can share some of those with you next time!
