Over the past few weeks I have spent two afternoons a week at a local Primary School making cards with them to sell at their forthcoming fete. I printed some shapes and pre-cut pieces for the younger children to make the following cards:<\/p>\n

I also used shapes in word to print onto cardboard some stars, trees and baubles for them to trace and cut out to make these cards:<\/p>\n

For the last session with each group I took along all the remainder of my patterned paper and cardstock scraps for them to create their own designs – and they came up with some fantastic creations – unfortunately i have no photos of these as our camera has gone bugger up again!! <\/p>\n
