I loved Stacey's message to us about taking time to craft with our children. My girls and I try to craft together as much as possible. I have a dedicated storage area for them in my studio where they have access to all my crafty leftovers. Together they make versions of whatever project I am working on. I adore their artworks and I really do treasure this time we have together.
This week we decorated pumpkins by cutting out vinyl shapes from different Spellbinders™die templates. We adhered the vinyl cut outs to the pumpkins and I sprayed them with glitter spray paint. We added little tags to personalized the pumpkins before they took their place of honor in front of our fire place.

My daughters, Ashton and Alexandra, each selected the shapes from my stash of Spellbinders die templates to decorate their pumpkins.

I trimmed the pieces of vinyl to fit each shape and under Mama's watchful eye they cut out the shapes using my Spellbinders Grand Calibur™ machine. I was so impressed how easy it was to cut the vinyl with Spellbinders die templates and how child-friendly this project was to create. Thanks for the reminder Stacey!
