Where did February go?

I don't know how people manage to get their blogs updated daily... I'm so far behind just reading blogs that I'll never get caught up!

Anyway... I've been meaning to get this post together for a while. These are puzzles that I altered for my son's 5th birthday party in his preschool classroom. I'm definitely pleased with the way they came out, and Max was THRILLED!

These were pretty simple to do; inks direct to paper for background, clear stamps all the way for ease in positioning. I LOVE Technique Tuesday and Sassafras Lass alphabets because they are closely trimmed enough to be able to line up a whole word at a time (provided you have enough of the letters you need!). They would have been even easier if I hadn't waited until the night before... by the time I got to poor Joseph B., my mojo was LONG gone! Oh well... they're five, and generally easy to please! Luckily, there are only 14 of them!

If you click on the photos, you can get a closer look.
