This is the second collaged card I made. It was cool to take a background paper and look at my pile of scraps to see what would work with the card stock. It almost seemed like the little scraps would whisper...yes, me! and me! oh no...i just won't do with that blue! etc. Not as … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 2

Random Acts of Paper: Part 1
Until I have a chance to create a post about our awesome Walk Day, I'll share this with you. I had another creative itch to scratch last week...except this time it was paper collage! I decided to make cards. I liked using the little bits of throwaway papers I have and seeing what I could … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 1

And one thing leads to another…
So one day I'm checking a favorite blog called Deep Space Sparkle. I love seeing her colorful ideas for lesson plans to teach art to children. You might think that since I myself teach art to children, that I would love this site for ideas for my own students. But actually, I love the ideas … Continue reading And one thing leads to another…
