CS HANDS ON! Photography Blog Hop

Canadian Scrapbooker is having its first blog hop, won't you join us????

  

Welcome to my blog and thanks for participating in our Hands On! photography blog hop!!

 

You should have arrived here from 

Cari Locken’s blog .   If you didn’t, please visit the Hands On! Photography blog HERE to start at the beginning and visit each person’s blog in order, so that you don’t miss out on your chance to win any of the prizes!

 

We are celebrating the one year anniversary of the Canadian Scrapbooker Hands On! Photography blog , also referred to as the HOP blog.  Last September, we launched the HOP blog as an added feature to the Hands On! Photography article in each issue, to offer more in-depth tutorials for the topics that Sue discussed in her articles.

 

Each month, Sue posts a new tutorial on the HOP blog, with photo examples and helpful links.  Our magazine and blog readers are encouraged to submit their photos, which are then shared on the HOP blog and entitle them to a chance to win a randomly drawn prize each month! (seriously how cool is that????)

I'm excited to announce that the blog hop prize I have to give away to one lucky commenter is this prize pack from Quick Quotes & KaiserCraft: How wicked hey? I have worked with Kaisercraft for 3 yrs now and I am still so in love with their product. So to pair it with Quick Quotes, you can make yourself a similar noteboard like Jackie did for a webisode  or create your own design!!!  

 

 

 

Want a chance to win this prize?  In celebrating our one-year anniversary, we'd like to invite you to review one of our past tutorials.  My choice is the June 2010 tutorial on daylight/sunlight.   To win, just visit this tutorial and leave a comment there, and then come back and  leave me a comment too with your favourite summer kids’ craft!  It's as easy as that! My kids LOVE body painting. So in our house you will see us painting with mud, body paint, pudding, real paint, and well if you have followed me for awhile, baby girl LOVES drawing on herself and her friends with SHARPIE markers. yep that's how we roll. and we LOVE it. It's never boring in our world.

I was sure I posted here!!!??? where did it go??

[Debbie]

Favorite summer craft is a paper bag album of their summer activities.

[Birute P]

My kids have all grown up now, but in looking back at all those summers, I'd have to say that a favourite summer craft of theirs almost always involved water and sand...the things they created were amazing!!

[Rhonda Steed]

DEFINITELY side walk chalk!!! Although I do love letting the kids paint outside cause then you just wash away the mess!

[Stacey Rumsby]

Favorite summer kid's craft: OK, maybe not a craft but an art-form....sand castles! Kids can let their imagination run wild!

[Jamie Harder]

Fave summer craft? Definitely drawing art creations with chalk on the sidewalk. Bought the 3D chalk this year...so fun!

[Jeanette]

Chalk drawing on the sidewalk

[Kim Nolan]

This is my third attempt at this ... hope I get it right (newbie). My kids love card classes ... a lil summin for the parents :0)

[Christine Campbell]

Painting and play dough - can't go wrong with those two ever!!

[gisele]

at the moment it's play dough for Lillie:-)

[Lizette]

Stamping and coloring. I bought the kids markers so they color with me( of course I use my copics)

[Annette]

Probably beading or painting. We love crafts in our house.

[TraceyT]

Anything that involves water...beach, kiddie pool, splah pad, sprinklers...FUN

[missusg]

oh that would have to be anything to do with paints!!!!

[Dawn Hueser]

its been a lot of years since they were little but I was the best mom when I would whip up a 5 gallon pail of jello and let them and their friends have a jello fight. Warning Dads/Hubbies are not likely to have the same opinion of the jello fight as it will leave a short term stain on siding etc. It comes off in a few days.

Since Gracie is a little young for crafts, I'd say her favourite is drool painting :) She can 'paint' our entire couch in seconds!

[annelies batty]

this summer's favourite summer craft (if it's considered a craft) for the visiting grandkids was bubbles. had all kinds of different bubble blowers and they enjoyed the variety.

[Jackie Smith]

My son and I like to play with Premo Clay.

[Tanya G]

My little dudes favorite summer craft was a "pizza box solar oven". Found it in a kids camp book.

[star]

bubble blowing that turns into bubble paint art!

[Isabelle]

we do pinatas!!! We head outside (cause it can get quite messy!) They dry real quick in the sun too!!!

[Isabelle]

We do pinatas!!! It can get pretty messy, so we head outside and it dries super quick in the sun!!

[Stephanie]

Great photo tips! My kids LOVE to color on our oversized driveway. I love when it is full of color!

[Kathy]

When my daughter was younger we use to make pretty little daisy bracelets while sat out in the sunshine and ran our toes through the cool grass.

[Lori M]

My kids aren't so little anymore and my daughter has started scrapbooking with me, so that is definitely a favorite. This summer both my son and daughter made beaded bracelets for friends and family - I love to see them create, especially since I love to!
