Elmer's Craft and Tell!

Hi all! A few weeks ago I was asked to participate in this year's Elmer's Craft and Tell and now I can show you my project made with Elmer's and Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker products.

What is the Craft and Tell you ask? Well Elmer's so generously sent me this box of goodies to create a project with (and to the rest of the Nikki Sivils DT that is participating)! Thanks Elmer's!!! And keep reading to learn how you can win some Elmer's goodies for yourself. The giveaway info is at the bottom of the post :)

Now I can show all of you my project. So I am "crafting" and "telling" so to speak! There will be two teams of Nikki's girls "crafting and telling" this weekend. One team on Friday and one team on Saturday.

Now for my project! As soon as I saw the foam board I had this idea to make my daughter a little house for her toy animals. And the Nikki Sivils "We are Family" collection was perfect to decorate my house. I used the craft knife and mat to cut the shape of my house (I just did it free hand by first sketching on the foam board in pencil, cutting and erasing my pencil marks). Then I used the scissors to cut out my paper to match  and the craft  bond glue (which is AWESOME) to adhere everything. There were also some paint markers included that I forgot to add to the photo above. I used the brown one to color the white edges of the foam board. Those are markers are great! The are just like acrylic paint, but soooooo much easier and less messy!

Here are some pictures of the house:

Since this was for my daughter I decided to make it a family project. I decorated the outside and she decorated the inside. The glue stick was perfect for her :) She picked out the stickers and paper for the inside, but I decorated the little shelves :)

My daughter loves the tv shows Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go. She wanted to make this a house for Dora and Diego and the animals they rescue. That's why there's animal stickers inside. We call it the rescue center. She puts her little Dora figure in the winder to look out. It is sooo cute!

Here are some of the animals she "rescued"....

And her playing with it!
