Another Word Up Wednesday!


I think one of my favorite junking scores was a 
HUGE
falling apart dictionary.
That thing has provided for so many crafts.

As I was blog hopping one day I came across this creative gal
and fell in love with her book page leaves.
So I decided to have the girls try it.

And here's the latest dictionary page craft.


I gave each girl a leaf to trace on to a dictionary page.
(a little bit of advice- when working with dictionary pages, scan the page to see what words are being defined- 
just sayin . . .)
 Then they painted fallish colors with watercolor paints.

 After the paint dried, they went over their traced lines with colored pencil.


The girls were pleased with their art work and 
I was THRILLED!




I can't wait to mat these with brown paper and 
add them to my fall decor.

Have a wonderful Wednesday my friends!

  4. I noticed one thing in your blog, that your kids are so cute. What a great and creative way to get the entire family to do outdoors activities and at the same time create something so beautiful, which are very inspiring.
