It’s become an annual tradition. It started in 2009, the year I started my blog. I shared how much I love candy corn and I came up with several projects using the candy. Again, in 2010, I came up with several different projects using candy corn, one of which was […]

Kid’s Autumn Tree Pictures
With a stack of colorful marbled papers from the last post, my young artists were ready to make autumn leaves. Using a simple cardboard stencil we cut out colorful leaves from our papers. I gave them each a large piece of white cardboard and told them to make a background […]
Easy Paper Marbling for Kid’s Fall Foliage Projects
Maybe it’s because of the drought. Or maybe it’s because we didn’t fertilize last spring. Whatever the reason, the trees around our house still haven’t started turning colors yet and it’s almost Thanksgiving! I decided to let my young artist create some fall colors of her own to use in […]

Moonlight Maiden
I used Derwent Colour Soft pencils and ZIG Millenium pens to draw this maiden in the moonlight. I’m not a big fan of the scary stuff this time of year. In fact, the only witch I’ve ever been fond of is this one. But I do like to draw and […]
Singing Owls
These card designs are all hand-cut using some of the super-awesome paper in the KC Company’s Que Sera Sera pack. The changing seasons always put me in the mood for cutesy things like this. These owls are enjoying the moonrise from their respective tree tops and singing sweetly in […]
