Rainbow Unicorn Swap

Remembering back when I was 10, I loved unicorns and rainbows. So I designed a fun little unicorn with rainbow ribbons for my girl scout troop. The girls are going to a huge event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of girl scouts. All the girls will have cute little things that they made to trade with other girls called, "swaps". My troop will have the unicorns and a couple other swaps. The girls are so excited for this and can't wait to see what other girls made.

Send a cute little foldable notecard to your child. Personalize with your own message on the inside. Just cut and fold these 7 different cute monster lunch box notecards. I think they're cute for boys or girls.  Each one has a cute little guy on the outside and is blank on the inside. Here's your FREE downloadable PDF. Enjoy!   notecards

Make a wish and save your chicken bones

I saw this table setting idea on Martha Stewart and I love it! Start roasting chickens and saving the wishbones. Our family has always done the wishing bone game but never with such pretty and magical looking bones.

Wishbone Napkin Ring

To make "silver" napkin rings, save wishbones from roast chickens, wash and dry them thoroughly, and spray them with chrome paint. On each one, string silver cord from tip to tip; wrap it six times around the bone, and tie it off.

lunch box thank you notes

This month I am making a special effort to write a little note to my kids each day letting them know what I am thankful for and how special they are.

Here is a FREE downloadable PDF of  blank fall note cards to be used for whatever you like.

Reach For The Sky Woody and Jesse

YAY! I completed the kids costumes. Woody and Jesse turned out to be pretty easy to make. A pair of jeans, a couple thrift store finds, and some fabric. I just loosly stitched the faux cow hide to a vest for Woody and a pair of jeans for Jesse. For Jesse’s shirt, I fabri-tacked the cording and the satin ribbon for the sleeves. The kids are so happy with their costumes that mom made.

See my previous post for the holsters.

Scrappy Pumpkin Tee Shirt project

My friend designed this project for her daughter's girl scout troupe. I think it is such a great project.



 



• TAP® Transfer Artist Paper
• Plain tee shirt – white or light color
• Scraps of pretty patterned papers
• Black marker, pencil
• White paper, white card stock
• Glue stick, scissors, Exacto® blade
• All-in-one inkjet printer/copier
• Firm ironing surface and iron

1. Use a black marker to draw a thick outline of a pumpkin with 4 segments on white cardstock


2. Copy the pumpkin on to white paper to make a master copy


3. Use an Exacto blade to trim out the inside of each section of the pumpkin on cardstock to create a stencil


4. Use the stencil to mark and cut out scrap papers to fit inside each section – use a different patterned paper for each section to make it scrappy, and don’t forget the stem!


5. Glue each of your trimmed scraps onto your master copy


6. Load a sheet of TAP into your inkjet printer and copy your scrappy pumpkin on to the TAP, following package instructions


7. Trim your pumpkin out of the TAP sheet and place it image-side-down on to your tee shirt


8. Press the image on to your shirt with your iron, following the TAP package instructions


9. If desired, you can also print out some Halloween words on to TAP to go with your pumpkin – just be sure to reverse the words on your computer before printing them out
