Throughout 2009 I had been saving the sketches from 52 sketches...52 weeks and thought it was time to organise them. I printed out the 52 sketches and a couple of examples on most of the sketches, then trimmed, laminated, and trimmed them.
I had a wee chocolate box that was perfect for a storage box for all my reference cards to be stored in. So here is my finished inspiration station for my desk. Its sitting right there ready for use now instead of me sifting through my folder in my laptop and getting distracted...lol.
Dont you love the wee butterfly and flowers, they are actually finger nail embellishments made out of fimo, but they are soo darn cute!
Here is the most of the cutting, laminating, and cutting I did though. Alyssa loved helping and it entertained us all for the day. I made sight word cards for Nara and Lachlan (all 300 first words!) , also some phonics and matching games with the dinosaurs. The real highlight for Nara was the Strawberry Shortcake paper dolls!! I mean this girl almost had a heart attack when I pulled them out! At least I really know when she does really like something! Alyssa made some Bratz paper dolls for herself as well.
It was a fun day though and the kids now have things to inspire their learning and so do I when I sit at my desk admiring my things and not knowing what to make.p.s although I have started a new folder on my laptop of Beyond the Page items that I would love to make, or love the inspiration they give.....
