100 Day Inspiration

Hi there, 

Long time no see huh?  Well, I'm getting back in the groove and hopefully I don't lose it.  If I do, oh well because that means life is happening.  My littles and not so littles love making life happen.  Just like my disbelief that 100 days of the schoolyear has already came and went.  Whew!  Little Zoey had an assignment to collect 100 things and find a clever way to display it.  As in true Tara fashion, I waited until the last minute to help her complete her task.  Tsk, tsk.  Anyways, if it wasn't for procrastination, inspiration for this project would have fell by the wayside and in enter Pinterest to the rescue.  Friday night Zoey decided to have her way with a few inkpads and my circle punch.  She had tons of fun colorizing the paper, getting inky, and punching out the circles.  The idea was born.  She was gonna ink up a couple pieces of white cardsotck and punch out 100 circles.  The inking stage was a blast.

The punching out the circles was but her teeny hands got tired after about 20 circles.  I forgot to take pictures of that process but here is one of the result of inking and punching.

Then she separated her circles into groups of ten.

She then threaded the set of ten circles onto lengths of yarn.

This was when I helped her out and tied all strips of circles onto chenille stems to fashion a mobile.

She was so very proud of her project.  She didn't fall far from the crafting tree gene pool!

Here she is on her way to school with her project.

Tomorrow I will post my scrapbook page I created to document Zoeys project.  I used the leftovers from Zoeys project to create my background.  Until tomorrow.  Happy crafting!
