Summer album

It's a Summer folding album 

We have had a busy summer with lots of fun. From baseball, soccer to a day trip to the beach. 

I filled this cute folded paper album at hobby lobby and filled it with pictures and cute summer stickers. Now I'm ready to do some journaling so we never forget...

These paper albums pre made is a great find for quick projects or gifts for love ones. I always check the clearance section in crafts at hobby lobby for bargains like this... Lisa

Fellowship recipe 

Kids crafts 

DIY Ice Cream Bookmark

 

It's National Ice Cream day....

Materials :
1. Colored paper – Beige for the cone, other colors for the icecream
2. Glue stick
3. Scissors
4. Pencil
5. Markers
6. Paper punch

1. Cut your beige paper into a square. We used a 8×8 inch square.
2. Fold the paper in half to form a rectangle and then a further half to form a square.
3. There are many different tutorials out there that show you how to make a corner bookmark, but what we love to do is to stick the middle and one pocket.
4. Keep one pocket empty. Let dry.
5. Once its dry, fold one edge inwards to form a half triangle.
6. Use a marker to outline the folded triangle to resemble an actual icecream cone.
7. Draw an icecream scoop template on a white paper. Make sure the lower edge of the template is longer than the diagonal of the square.
8. We used a paper punch and lots of colorful papers to make some rainbow sprinkles. We cut a red circle on top to act as the cherry.
9. Stick the icecream scoop onto cone ensuring only the edge of the ice-cream scoop is glued.
10. Your icecream book mark is ready.
