SSINKspiration: Friday Favorite - Watercolor Pencils

Today over at SSINKspiration we are showing you how great the NEW Watercolor Pencils are!  

Here is the card that I created today...

I used the pencils on this card to color in the globe.  Then I used my Aqua Painter that was filled with water to blend in my pencil coloring.  Watercolor Pencils work the best on our Watercolor paper!  We hope that you will try out this great new product!  It's one of my favorites for sure!

Friday Favorites

It's Friday Favorites time over at SSINKspiration today!  One of my favorites is the Project Life by Stampin' Up! Playground Card Collection...

#135300  $15.95

And here is my layout...

I had to add in a 6x8 page protector in there because I had a picture that was vertical and I didn't have a spot for it to be BIG (like the first day of Kindergarten demands)!

Here is what is one the back of my 6x8 page.

Here are a few drawings from my little Kindergarten student!

And here is the remainder of the week!

Here are a few of my favorite things about this layout...

I messed up when stamping the dates originally.  So I just stamped them on some cardstock and used my 3/4" Circle punch to pop them out!  FIXED!!

I created a little piece of 3"x4" notebook paper to journal on with the school page.  I just used my hole punches and some paper snips.  I love this technique!

This Snapshot Single Stamp is one of my favorites from the catalog.  It is perfect for any Project Life album!  It's all about capturing memories and that is what cameras help us do!  :)

Also if you have school age children here is what I have done for the past 2 years of school (Preschool and now Kindergarten)...

First Day picture!

First Day Interview.

This is why I love documenting life!  See how much my kiddos grew in just one year1  WOW!!
