Curt Jensen is running a monthly Cartridge Challenge
over on his blog Typecast Creative.
This month challenge is to make a
project with his Campin Critters cart.
If you have been around my blog for a while,
then you have seen the famous train table...
Well, this month, we took Thomas the Tank Engine
on an adventure camping with some new critters!
The teddies got busy setting up the tents.
Pooh Bear, the Camp Leader gave all the directions.
Then the teddies heard a whisper that there was a
teddy bear's picnic in the forest nearby.
They jumped on the nearest train and followed the signs.
They arrived at the forest just in time for lunch.
They ignored the ranger's sign and ate everything in the picnic basket.
*sound of kids singing...*
If you go down to the woods today... etc...
And that's the way the teddy bears have their pic...nic.
Swiper the Fox told them all to go jump in the lake.
Good idea Swiper!
There were lots of fish to be caught at the lake.
We used round paper clips for fish eyes and used REAL DIAL SIZE on the cricut to make the fish layer 3 inches.
Then we made a fishing rod with a magnet.
The teddy bears and my spunky monkeys spent ages
fishing happily at the lake.
I love that some cute paper shapes can
ignite children's imaginations and
ignite children's imaginations and
send them into a world of fun.
Please note L.B. - Overuse of dotty My Minds eye paper for the ground... hahahaha... that's a whole lot of pages.
While they got lost in Campin world, I made lots of
"We Have Moved" cards for our upcoming
move into our new home.
So excited to be packing boxes again!
NOT.
But I am excited that this will
be my last move in a long time!
Our new home will watch my kids grow and grow.
Because these treasured days of cute boys, wild worlds, Campin Critters and Thomas adventures won't last forever.
Unfortunately.
I wish I could freeze time today
with the sound of their little giggles as
they caught another fish.
I used the weld function on my gypsy to join two shadowed cars (one flipped) so that it made a shaped card.
Thanks Curt at Typecast Creative for a fun challenge!
Your boys look like they are having a blast.
ReplyDeleteChloe - I don't know what to say! I am speechless!!! I love all of the images you made for your train table. And the added touch of the fishing pond was brilliant. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh Chloe, I could cry!! I have so many memories of making tracks and worlds for my boys to play in, and now? They have their own worlds to live in :) Sorry, didn't mean that to sound so sad, was actually going to thank you for reminding me of those times :D XXX
