Cottonball Art

Here's a fun way to add texture to your art.  Take a cottonball.  Stretch the cottonball.  Spread out the fibers.  Take light blue cardstock.  Add some glue to the back of the stretched out cottonball then place it towards the top of the cardstock.  This will create puffy white clouds with the sky as the background.  Draw details such as flowers, mountains, etc. to complete the picture.

Greeting Card Bookmarks

The next time you receive a greeting card, remember to save it.  You can make nice bookmarks from greeting cards.  Cut out your favorite image from the card. Then mount the image on a colorful cardstock.  Cut the cardstock to any shape.  Use the bookmark when you read your next favorite book or give as gifts for those who love to read.
