Book marks ( kids project)

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to share these today. I made them a while ago but they have come out again because I needed a nice easy craft to make with kids at school. The kids are from 5 to 10 years old, Its the after school group at my childrens school, The older kids are great at helping out the younger ones, but needed some thing nice and easy to hold there attention. They are just made with scraps and punches. The magnets that hold them together are just the flat advertisement ones you get in the letter box now and again. They cut very easily with the scissors and are then just stuck on with double sided tape. I wasnt the first to come up with this idea although I did change it a bit from most bookmarks you see on blogs and things because I didnt have any of those giant paperclips lots of people use. This then becomes recycling.

Sparkle Sparkle

I dont know if it has a proper name, I just call it my sparkly bling card.
This is one of my all time farourite cards to make and give to some one. I found this is a stamping and papercraft magazine quite a few years ago and then when I found Stampin up, and came accross heat and stick powder, I got really excited!! This card, as it turns out is very hard to photograph!! I also photographed it at nite because the light makes the glitter sparkle a bit to. For a change I made it in Red and white but do usually make it as a black and white card. Because of the bling it makes a beautiful wedding card. My card is 5" square.

I have a friend , that I have introduced to stampin ( and now she's hooked) but she needed a couple of wedding cards so thats how the bling came about.

This was the second card we made.

My oldest son is about to turn 9 and wants to have a sleep over for his party, so here is the colours for his invites that he picked. That orange colour again that I dont like, but it does look really nice with blue!!

I used my own template of a petal card,
