Spring break and summer are quickly approaching!  Here’s a fun craft to keep your little ones entertained!

Step one:   Take an image and open it in Photoshop.

Step Two:  Duplicate the layer

Step Three:  Go to Filter -> Sketch -> and then Photocopy.  From there you can adjust your exposure in the layer pallete to eliminate some of the background “grayness”.

Now print and let your child color themsleves or their siblings!  :)   Happy Coloring!

Super fun Valentines!

Author: Jamie

I’m a little late for Valentines Day, but I really wanted to share our cute valentine idea.   We used 4 x 6 photos, a matte knife and suckers to create photo valentines to pass out at school.  Instructions below…

If you are looking to create photo valentines for your little one, or even photo cards for another event, here’s how…

1.) Take your image and add your text or graphics in any photo editing software.  Make sure the image is cropped to 4 x 6 so you don’t cut off any  of the text or image. Images off center to make room for the candy are better than centered images.

2.) Have the photos printed at your favorite color lab.

3.)  (Adults ONLY) Take a sharp matte knife and cut 2 small slits wide enough to insert a sucker.  Not too wide or the sucker will fall out.  The photo paper is thick enough to keep the sucker secure.

4.) Voila!  Homemade Photo Valentines.  :)

You can also use this same idea for your birthday kiddo, or any other fun event.  Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!  -Jamie
