Every once in a awhile I feel guilty about stamping. It doesn't last long...hehehe, but I stamp so much for myself that once in awhile, I have to stamp for my boys. Yesterday was one of those days, and this is what I pumped out!
I made a game for my boy to play, and I called it Animal Catcher. It is supposed to be played like Go Fish or The Memory Game. I didn't know how many cards the Provo Craft bandaid container could hold, but I can make another 5 pairs of cards! The images I stamped are from all the Itzy Inkies set over at All That Scraps.
I colored them all with markers, and matted them on night of navy CS. The measurements are the same as an ATC, 3.5 X 2.5, and the white is 3.25 X 2.25. I am going to laminate them with my left over Grip-Tac. Many have asked what that is, since this post. It is a clear adhesive plastic that comes on a roll, and you use it to laminate things.
I covered the bandaid container with my new Jersey Shore DP from Stampin' Up! I got my container from PaperCraftsCo., but you can also get it at All That Scraps. All the writing was done by had, since I didn't want to be stamping all that out! The good new, my boys love it. Have fun and happy stamping!!
Cute idea!

What a wonderful keepsake for your children (if there is anything left of it when they are done with it!).

What a fantastic idea for small children. You have colored famously, and the band-aid tin looks great!

Julie..cool game. I thought it was going to be the memory game. That would be a cute way to stamp also.

How cute! I'm a retired Kdg teacher and the kids just loved these kind of games. What a good mommy to think of games to play at home with your kids.
