Expansion Albums @ After School Club

Here are some photos of the Expansion Album the kids made at the After School Club.

We have taken 2 weeks to complete these.
We have used retired DSP.

This is Kieran's the outside.

Kieran's 7 year old.

Clarabelle 5 years old.

Phoebe's 7 years old.

Samuel's (my son) 5 years old.

 I have soft focused the above albums for the kids privacy.

They have done a fantastic job on the album.

If you would like to learn how to make and Expansion Album contact me and get a few friend together for a class.

They made a fantastic gift, great for Grandparents for Christmas presents.

As Promised

The 'Midnight Madness' last night was great.

Today I have cleaned all my stamps and I'm in the middle of a stock take of all my stamps, inks and tools. 

I have labeling them all with there item #, price and page number etc.

Here are photos of the coupon books After School Club.

Samuel (5) made the the Green Galore one and Savannah made the other using Orchid Opulence, both retired colours.

I really like Samuel's, he has done a great job.

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday

Fun with Punches...

...At After School Club today.

We made hair gel cards using the whale stamp out of 'Animal Stories' Stamp Set.

The second card they made, used the Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and the XL Two Step Bird Punch.

I let them used some of my retired card stock and DSP, and they could decorate the card as they pleased.

They are enjoying the Club, we have 2 weeks break as school holidays start on Friday.

I'm thinking we might make a memory cube or a mini album next term.

Can You Believe.....

..That another week is nearly over, and a busy one at that.

I had a Team Meeting in CHCH on Tuesday evening, I love been part of the team it's like joining a great big family when you join up with Stampin' Up! If you would like to become part of the Stampin' Up family email me to join my team.

Monday I was preparing for a workshop that evening, finishing swaps and preparing for the WOW I presented at the meeting.

Here's my swap I made.

Tuesday I drove to CHCH returned the refugee, caught up with family and attended the Team Meeting.

Wednesday I picked up 2 Canaries from Savannah's Godparent's to bring home for the kids. 

They had told me the cage was big, but it was very big. We drive a Nissan Serena, to get the cage in we had to put up the back seats, half turn the middle seat and unbolt the dolly seat and seat beats (major operation, I'm glad Mark hadn't already gone to work, as he was our skillful surgeon ) Thanks Mark.

They are beautiful birds a male and female, Darian has named the male 'McLovit' (don't know were that came from) and Savannah has named the girl 'Sunny' as she is a lovely yellow.

Julie gave us all the seed, grit and nesting materials, Sunny is wanting to build a nest so the kids are looking on with keen interest.

I arrived home an hour before I had to be at School for Kids Club, which I still had to prepare for.

Here's the cards the kids did yesterday, Savannah made these two.

They used Choo Choo Stampset, and had to draw their own track because in the quick turn around I left the wheel at home.

They used Butterfly Prints and Oval All stampsets and the punches to match.

So I was pretty tired by the end of the day.

Today was a beautiful day here so I have spent the day in the garden.

I will show the team swaps in the next few days.

After School Clubs Week 2

I have committed to running an after school club at school every Wednesday for 10 weeks.

Last week we did Father's Day gift and card.

This week we made 'Gods Eyes'.

 

This is a easy craft once you have pattern going, using wool and popicles sticks.

The kids enjoyed this craft and 2 of them completed 2 of them in the time alotted.

There are 7 kids doing crafts for clubs, thier ages ranging from 5 - 12 years.

With this craft it was the younger kids that cottoned on to this  easier than the 2 12 year olds.

They are a nice bunch of kids and pleasure to work with. I'm looking forward to getting to know them better over the 10 weeks

After School Clubs

I'm taking a group of 4 lovely (6 if you include my 2) kids for a Craft After School Club, for 10 weeks.

We started yesterday, and as Father's Day is on Sunday we made a gift and card for Dad.

In this photo they are painting plaster bases for the gift for Dad.

Then they choose stone to represent their family.

The Card came out of a card making book of Savannah's.

They all loved making the gift and card, and were very excited about know what we could be doing next.

As of yet I haven't decided yet, Savannah and I will put our heads together and come up with something.

Here are their gifts that they made.

They just need to write on them 'Dad Rocks".
