Here's Jack

Hi there.  I hope you're having a crafty good day!

Jack and I had a little craft session not long ago.


He saw this card on the rack and wanted to make one like it.

It was made from a friend's kit and I didn't have the ingredients anymore.

I gave him the card and he added the bling.

Then he scribbled on a paper towel with some markers,
spritzed with water and pressed the paper towel around the bling.
All his own idea.


I've never got results that good from this technique!

I've spent today with both Jack and Emmy.
They are so full of ideas that it's hard to keep up with them!

I'm one tired but happy Nana tonight.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Wow, both Emmy and Jack have your artistic gene, Bonnie! His way of coloring with paper towel is amazing. How could he think about that? We'll probably learn a lot from them! Love his cute proud smile!

Aw, what a sweet boy! And such a talented one, too! I know how tired and happy you were, Bon-Bon! The crafty times the twinks and I had in the Playhouse are cherished memories! (I hope for them, too.) Enjoy all these moments and keep on sharing with us! He sure takes after his talented Nana!! Hugs, Dolly

He is still a small boy and has great abilities. He clearly traced them to his beloved grandmother. A great card, and the paper background is simply stunning. I hope that he will develop talent and will soon leave us all behind.
Hugs,

P.S. big hugs for Jack
