No Valentine's Day Card Making After All

     I am sitting at home, curled up with a roaring fire and surrounded by pets and family as I check the newsfeeds, finding out that school is closed tomorrow, meaning no Art Club. Bummer!

     I predict that students feel differently, now being able to enjoy a four day weekend, since school was closed last Friday as well. We have been enjoying the beautiful snowfall, and staying off the roads as the freezing rain fell down.

     Hopefully, students and families will take some time and start making their Valentine's Day cards tomorrow, since parties are scheduled for Friday in celebration.

     I will see you all in two weeks, since next Monday is another holiday. We will be making initial magnets. In the meantime, stay safe, stay warm, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Thought I'd share what I was going to try and inspire the kids with...

I stamped these in grey and then left them white for the kids to color in.They could then layer them onto red cardstock.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to make my images lay out the way I want them to. This one is obviously sideways...

I have been punching hearts out for a couple of weeks while watching TV at night so the kids would have lots of choices to play with and get creative with heart shaped critters.

 



And this last one is also sideways... I cut the patterened papers for the kids to glue down and then I made a bunch of the ribbons for the kids to add as well.
