I used at least part
of all 35 items. My supply item was a
sheet of alphabet stickers to make the roof sign.
Aren't they both just so incredible?!?.
This is just the best imagination, given the lists. I LOVE the cup turned awning! Both are entirely different. Hope we get to see more!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Marijke. That cup awning was SO great!
DeleteHave asked the other club members for permission to show their projects.
It was fun trying to figure out what to make from at least part of each of the items on the list!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marijke - the cup awnings were the best! Absolutely love what you did.
