Saturday 12:00 pm EST - JAN08VSNG-PUNCHie Animals Challenge For All Ages-Chat Thread
 

Title: PUNCHie Animals Challenge
Hostess: Faith (Markie's Mom)
Keyword: JAN08VSNG
Day/Date: Saturday, January 19th
Time: 12:00 PM EST


It�s Girls Night Out! That means we KIDS, get to PLAY!

I remember my grandma coming over and watching my sister and me when my parents would go out for the evening.

Grandma had a special goodie bag full of paper crafting items! We'd play with wrapping paper, butcher paper, old greeting cards, markers, crayons and special templates. Grandma was the greatest!

Grandma would draw creatures and we'd copy them. Then, we'd cut them out and paste them to poster board, and we'd have dioramas set up to display our animals. When our folks got home, there would be a homemade Art Show waiting!

In honor of my favorite childhood (heck, and ADULTHOOD) memories, I challenge you to use punches to create animals or bugs. You can make dioramas, paste them to paper, or make a card. It�s up to you!

Here is a LINK to the Punched Animal Gallery

The gallery for this challenge can be found here.

Thanks for playing!

you mean I have to think on the first one????
OK--punches here I come.

What a totally fun challenge! I've got TONS of ideas saved to my faves, but I've only ever made one punch animal. Thanks for the great challenge, Faith. I'm off to play!

Faith, great challenge. I already have an idea!

tough one but fun! - let's see..........

How fun! I'm off to get a cup of coffee and play.

What a great challenge Faith. I saw a site with all kinds of critters a wile ago and said..that looks like fun. What a great way to start off the challenges for today.
Thank you.

Anyone with questions?

you're killing me faith.... ughh...

Yeah... what animals can I make...LOL!!!!

I'm In!
 

I can see why these challenges are such a good thing to participate in... it really gets you thinking outside the box! Thanks for a fun idea. Off to brainstorm!

I'm assuming that die cuts are OK also, as long as they're shapes, not actual die cuts of animals.

Hi Heidi...

I'm with you Keri! I am not very talented in coming up with ideas for animals! I don't have that many punches either! Think I may sit this one out!

Any chatters?

go for it!:D

Okay....can you CUT out circles????LOL!

no more questions?

There is an index to animals made with punches.. Can that be linked in here for people to use for ideas?

Do you have the link?

I have the link, Faith, I'll add it to your thread

searching...

Link is added

You ROCK! Thanks, Kim.

Thanks Kim!

Yeah, I know. :rolleyes:

You're very welcome.

Here it is... fun!

I made mine! It's an ant. I'm not going to take a pic yet, 'cause I'm hoping my brown brads arrive in the mail today and I have 5 more minutes to add them on. This was fun, Faith!

The sentiment on my ant card is "How in the hill have you been?" hehehe

What a serious challenge!!!! I'm SO not good at this!

Thanks for the challenge. :)
