The girls' ballet teacher lost her mom to cancer while we were out of town and upon hearing the news - our hearts just ached for her. I wanted to make her a card from our family and found this saying about seashells ~
which inspired the card I made. We had lots of shells from our trip so we picked out the prettiest one and I glued that to the front of the card.
Today I am so excited to be guest posting over on Cheryl's awesome blog Sew Can Do . Hop on over to her blog to see how I made the project shown above and all the great projects she has featured during her CraftShare 2010!
So, after two weeks of my kids being in camps it was time to host a camp of our own. Today I hosted six girls for a Girly Girl Stamp Camp. These precious girls were so much fun and their projects really turned out well. I love sharing my hobby and in true Charlotte Mason fashion I am hoping to instill a life long love of paper crafting.I had some great help today ... Devin and Lexi made lunch for all the girls and my dear friend, Tammy, hosted Ava Mae at her home for the day so that I could focus on the girls at the camp.This last shot is the carnage after 6 projects and 4 hours of stamping ... you can actually see two of the cards we made on the table. Now, I must prepare for the American Girl Stamp Camp in July.
Yesterday I taught the first in a series of classes on rubberstamping. I opened the class up to the girls in our homeschool group and we had a great class! The girls were all so sweet, well-mannered and so purposeful in their creations, it was truly a joy and a blessing in my life to teach them. Pictured above are two of the projects we completed - a Father's Day Card and a Tin with a crafted Paper Flower and little tag. The last project was a Mother's Day Card and I must keep that under wraps so it can be a surprise for the Moms.
Rubberstamping is a love of mine and I have so enjoyed sharing it with many women. I am so happy that I can now share this craft with the young girls in our homeschool group. I love Charlotte Mason's philosophy about teaching children a craft that they can grow into and use, for the rest of their life.

Today I hosted my last stamp camp for the summer ... Princess Stamp Camp. We had eight girls in attendance and it was crazy but, so much fun! We made four projects - Princess Bottle Cap Necklaces, Princess Wands, Monogram Shrinky Dink Bracelets, and a Birthday Card for the next Princess Party they attend. I always know my camp is a success when the girls finish all their projects I have planned and when they ask me how soon I can host my next camp. It is a blessing for me to host these sweet girls!

Last night I hosted a few ladies from my church as part of a Dinner Party Auction I participated in. The auction raised money to send two different mission teams from our church to Cherokee, North Carolina and Slovakia. I donated a Ladies Night Out that featured a light summer dinner and rubber stamping. We made six projects and, as in years past, we had a great time just talking and laughing the night away.
