Make it Monday #136, a school project and a give-away

Textured Stamping is featured on Make it Monday. Ashley came up with this cool technique of moving the stamp pad on the stamp or vice versa before stamping it on paper. You do need a silhouette stamp for that - don't have too many of those in my Papertrey stash....


I used the Watercolor Wonder set, the sentiment is Think Big Favorites. I used pigment inks for this - thought they would "smear" better....
Her is a close- up - you can see the texture better:



I am also linking this up with Seize the Birthday - anything birthday


--X--

And now I want to share a school project with you that my son and I did together last week. The ideas was his, so was the design - I just helped with the details.....

The project was to make a game about cells - it work similar to Candy land. We made some action card - the yellow ones and some knowledge cards - the white ones. The aim of the game is to collect all the necessary cell organelles - the one who gets them first wins!
(Note that the board is recycled cardboard...)


Today he got his grade back
110 - whohoo!

I cut the chromosomes, the mitochondria and the vacuoles from left over rubber snippets - the rest is from various stamping companies. Isn't it cool how stamping comes in handy for so many things in life....

I am linking this up with the Snippets playground - used sooo many snippets here, but its not really a serious entry, but its a PLAYGROUND, so why not?

Wanna share in the fun and post some school projects you did with your kids on your blog of flickr? Link your projects in the comment section and I'll draw a random winner and raffle of this stamp set among the participants at the beginning of next month - same time as my blog anniversary candy:


It does not need to be a new project - just one you did with your kids for school at some time in the past - no other requirements :)

Loved your bright textured card. Looks like a very modern art piece one would see in a big museum. Well done. Also well done on the science project. What a wonderful way to teach this subject to your son. Great job to both of you, and I'm not surprised at his 110! Congratulations on a fantastic project.
Oh Wow, deine karte sieht voll cool und modern aus!!!

Liebe Grüße

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
