Window Painting {& It's My Blogiversary!}


One year ago I was a mom looking for arts/craft ideas to do with my young daughters.
What I found was amazing!
Brilliant bloggers writing about things they were doing at home with their little ones,
I had to join in on the fun!
One year later, I'm a mom blogger hoping to inspire other moms to introduce arts/crafts to their little ones.

My very first post was 
Tissue Paper Stained Glass Window
so
for my blogiversary I decided to do another window art post.

Window Painting!

It's so simple.
All you need is paint
(you can use powdered or liquid tempera)
and 
dish soap
spacer
I added the (liquid) paint first
then added the dish soap until I got a consistency I liked
(keep in mind that the dish soap thins the paint)
spacer
Set out the paint and brushes and let everyone go at it!

The girls really loved painting on the window. 
Experimenting with 
mixing colors
making shapes and designs
 using their fingers
playing on the fact that the paint drips
spacer
 Mostly,
 they just love creating together

 Before and After

Thank you all for such wonderful support throughout my first year!
I hope you'll stick with me through my second!

Stamped Heart Butterfly Valentine

 I love these little butterflies fluttering about
Their wings are made from two hearts stamped point to point
spacer
 We made heart stamps with foam heart stickers
that we stuck onto the tops of bottle caps
Stamp the hearts point to point
spacer
Add butterfly features
body, head, antenna, etc

Do you know someone who makes your heart flutter?

This card just might make their heart feel the same way!

Dot Painted Berry Valentine


Here's a card idea that's perfect for that person that is more than just very sweet,
they are,
berry sweet
spacer
For these cards we used 3"x4" rectangles cut out of 100lb paper
a heart stencil cut out of an index card
red tempera paint
and
the bottom of a colored pencil
spacer
Dip the bottom of your pencil into the paint
and dot the paint inside the stencil
(remove the stencil before the paint dries)
spacer
Once the paint is dry
use a little black paint and the bottom of a paintbrush
and dab on some seeds 
spacer

spacer
 When the seeds are dry
draw a little green stem on top
spacer
Trace around your berry with black pen to help define the shape
spacer
and write your berry cute message on the card!
spacer
 It's berry simple!
