PK Friday Challenge
Anything goes

Only 3 more days in school.
My K/1 special education students have
done amazingly well this year so I wanted to make them something special.
I got this idea out of PAPER CRAFTS & STAMP IT
TREASURE OF TIPS AND TRICKS
I did not used their measurements
My Candy Bags were smaller
I had to play with the dimension.
Yes I wasted an entire 12x12 piece of paper
Ahhh finally I got something that worked.
If anyone would like the dimensions please let me know.
Nothing fancy but I think the kids will love them.
Robots for the boys and flowers for the girls.

Material used
PK May Stamp of the month kit
Robot paper: Pressed Petals Boys Will Be Boys
Flower paper: DCWV Glitter stack
& scraps on the rest
Flower: Stampin' Up chalk
& then I went over the petals with Glam Pink & Turquoise
Then I applied a second coat Crystal Sickles
Turquoise Twine: My Mind's Eye
Black & white twine: We R Memory Keepers
Black Ink: Memento
Purple Ink: Vivid
