Toot! Toot!

Not to toot our own horn, but we're just SO excited about our latest news! Three of our awesome National Geographic craft kits have been singled out and awarded prizes by Creative Child Magazine! This means so much to us because these awards are chosen by moms, music educators and early education professionals rather than stuffy old judges with no knowledge of what kids LOVE!

Receiving the 2012 Seal of Excellence, our Sumi-e Artist Kit explores Japanese painting techniques. Your child can create a one-of-a-kind scroll masterpiece using an authentic bamboo brush and ink. They can also stamp their finished piece with their own personalized chop! This kit takes refrigerator art to a whole new level!

Next up is one of my personal favorites! Our Confetti Sculpting Paper-mache Kit rocks and Creative Child thought so too! They awarded it the 2012 Preferred Choice Award. Included is an instruction guide to create an erupting volcano, but if you're not interested in fiery explosions, we also showcase a bunch of other ideas to get your imagination going. 

 And lastly but by no means leastly (leastly?), only one product per category can win the coveted Toy of the Year Award and WE DID IT! Our Dinosaur Fossil Sand Clay Sculpting Kit is just so cool! You can create your own dinosaur fossils using clay that looks just like sand and if you really want to show off, you can make a dinosaur tooth necklace that will wow everyone you meet!

Check out these and many more National Geographic craft kits at your nearest Walmart or JoAnns Superstores!

What crafts do your children LOVE to create? Answer in the comments below for your chance to win one of three fabulous National Geographic craft kits.

Up for grabs are the Stencil Artist Kit, Junior Botanist Set and the Dinosaur Fossil Kit.

Contest ends August 22nd, midnight est.

Good luck!

Walmart Album Giveaway

I've been LOVING all the "Project Life" style layouts I've seen on pinterest lately. I decided that I could recreate the look for less with our NEW Mutipocket Page Protectors from Walmart. The pages have different sized pockets that can accommodate regular 4x6in photos, as well as other sizes like squares- perfect for your instagram pics! The multi-pocket protectors are ideal for fun and easy scrapping! I like to mix these multi-pockets in with regular 12x12in protectors for a uniquely custom album.

I created pages with photos from a weekend "up north" and placed them in our NEW 3 Ring Binder Album, also available at Walmart. This 12in album features the convenience of interlocking D-ring binding. This allows pages to be turned with ease and removed or rearranged in a snap.

What do you look for in an album?

3-Ring or postbound?

Solid color cover or patterns?

Do you like windows on the cover?

Let us know your thoughts on albums in the comments below and you will be entered to win one of our designer scrapbooks from Walmart.

Contest ends Wednesday, August 15th at Midnight est.

Good luck!

Stampin’ some Creativity

Get inspired with our new Heidi Grace and Cloud 9 Stamps! There are some great new themes available to help round out your stamp collections with every occasion.  A couple of our favorites are featured below.

Great for invitations, gifts or favors, these Cloud 9 Baby stamps are perfect to help welcome new additions to any family!

Create your own patterned papers! Place groupings of stamps on an acrylic block and stamp on the paper of your choice. Try making two different groupings of stamps and stagger them while stamping to create a more detailed design. 

Adhere multiple layers of paper to create unique borders around your layouts. We used Xyron's Adhesive Application System which made it very easy to get an even adhesive coverage.

These Heidi Grace Wedding stamps are a perfect combination of light-hearted elegance. Celebrate the union of friends and loved ones with these adorable stamps!

Use silver ink to make patterns look a bit more sophisticated. Try using a different color for more fun, playful layouts. 

Mix and match accent colors for variation!

 

We love the new designs and hope that you do too! Find these and other great designs at your local JoAnn Craft Store. Comment below for a chance to win 5 of our new designs – including the two used in the projects featured above!  We'll announce the winners Wednesday, March 28th.

Boxes of Love

Looking for an alternative to the same old Valentine's Day cards?
Check this out!

Using one of our own fabulous scrap packs from Walmart and the Heidi Grace Template Project Pack, we created the most festive of little boxes to share with our favorite daycare cuties!

Just trace the template onto any papers you prefer, cut them out, and fold! You can embellish your little gift boxes any way you like. We made simple little flowers with a hand cut heart in the middle of each.

And just what do you fill these boxes of love with?

Rather than adding to the sugar high the kids will already be on, we chose to pack our mini-boxes with an assortment of fun finds.

We just went to our local supermarket and picked up balloons, bubbles, bouncy balls, jelly bracelets, jiggly lizards and an assortment of cute little stickers. The kiddos are sure to love these little boxes that came straight from our hearts!

Comment on this post for a chance to win one of two Heidi Grace Mini Box Template Project Packs used in this project!  Winners will be announced Friday, February 17th, 2012.  (Sorry, no international entries will be accepted.)
