Foam Tray Prints...

...We've been playing around with some Foam Tray Printing...we used the instructions here...

...Scout drew a squirrel-ly picture...he looks sort of vicious to me...it's supposed to be barking like the ones at Grandma Elizabeth's house that will eat out of your hand...and I think it would be really cute for some fall themed stationery...

...for Scout's picture it didn't matter...but if you're making letters...just be sure to do a mirror image before you emboss so that your print will face the right way...and notice that he added some 'fur' to the print block that you don't see in the sketch...

...The first print was really dark and on Scout's favorite green paper...

...I prefer the second (lighter) print...

...You should definitely try this...it think it would work well even with very young kids...it's a lot of fun...

...and...it's got me thinking of ideas for this year's Christmas Card too...
