Making Father’s Day Cards

This week, I tackled a FUN project — I volunteered to photograph Jackson’s classmates and make Father’s Day cards with the class.

If you glanced at my inbox, you would question the wisdom of me volunteering for such a time consuming task at school. But Jackson is growing up so fast, one day soon he won’t want me to be showing up in his classroom! Right now is such a precious stage and I adore every second I spend volunteering in his class.

I also LOVE to photograph children! Each child is so different — their personalities so unique. And children behave so much better for someone other than their own parent!

I had a fantastic time shooting the kids. The girls especially got so into it, flashing me their best smiles, twinkling their eyes and tilting their heads.

This is Aliyah, working the camera for me:

Here is Jackson – cracking up as usual!

After the photo session, I needed to go through my shots and edit the ones I wanted to use. Choosing the best photos was so hard — the kids were so cute!

Of course, I left getting the photos developed and going to the scrapbook store until the night before I was to do the project. Thank goodness for Walmart’s one hour photo.

I made the project very simple, so that I wouldn’t have a tough time managing 23 kids.

I used a die cut to make the cards, so the kids simply slipped in the corners of the photos.

I pre-cut the rectangles and had a stamping station where I helped each child with the Happy Father’s Day stamp.

Then all they had to do was write on the larger rectangle and glue them both on. Voila! (Speaking of French, Jackson is in French Immersion and so that is why the words are in French. I couldn’t find a French stamp though! LOL Oh and I left Jackson’s card at school by mistake, so I got Jackson to help me quickly make another one tonight before he went to bed. For some reason, he hasn’t inherited my perfectionist ways and didn’t mind in the slightest that he tore through his printing as fast as he could.)

It was a super fun tackle to do with Jackson and his friends. Ahhh the joys of first grade!

    I’m new to blogging. My big achievement this week was completing writing a grant for a Title I elementary school. I’ve been trying to get a support program going for moms there for about 2 years working through a university. It was only when I went on my own, working with community members that I was able to forge something that may be funded and may be what the moms described to me in focus groups and interviews. It was a good feeling to do something for women who have very little except love for their children and a need for support from other moms. That’s it. I started my blog because I’ve felt that way too. I need to add this to my blog as well…..

    What a fun project and great idea! Your pictures look awesome too.

    I love that you take the time to be so involved with your kids school. They grow so fast, so treasuring every moment is so important.

    What a neat idea. Jackson is so cute. I’m giving a garden update today, which involves tackling weeds.

    I don’t have a blog to link to, but last night I totally tackled our kitchen pantry. (I had to after the stockupportunity at Safeway- there just wasn’t room for all the food!) Everything came out and went back in in an orderly fashion. And I put in a new shelf to help organize our overflowing pile of tea and drink mixes. Much better!

    That is such a great tackle! I am nervous about voluteering for my daughter’s classroom. I just know I will bite off more than I could chew.

    You definitely have your priorities straight! You can tackle your inbox any old time, but how many chances do you get to make special memories like that? Great job, and what a special Father’s Day gift! Kudos! 🙂

    I didnt tackle but I tickled..does that count? Actually I tickled a plant. I found it on line at http://www.ticklemeplant.com It’s called the TickleMe Plant and we are growing it from seeds. The leaves instantly close and even the branches droop when Tickled. You have to see the video and grow your own. Use coupon code HOLIDAY to take $2.00

    Thank you for a reminder about Father’s Day. I need tackle that too (guide kids make gifts for their Dads).

    Your (all of you) project turned out well – great job!

    Those turned out beautifully – what a wonderful Father’s Day gift for the kids to take home! I have something similar that Abby’s class did for Mother’s Day, but with school being out, the dads always seem to get left out of the school projects here. I’m completely impressed that you squeezed in the time to do it! 🙂

    Susan here…

    This week my husband tackled the garage. He did a fabulous job, but I forgot to take any before photos. The after photo doesn’t look like much without seeing the ridiculous mess it was before. He removed soooooo much junk!

    Since there were no photos to do the tackle justice, I decided to have Janice share her Father’s Day Card tackle here. It’s definitely a nicer post to look at. LOL
