Help For My Niece's Classmate!

Last week I posted some pictures of 3 of my nieces and the shirts we made. Hannah (the 10 year old) asked us to save can tabs. A boy at her school broke his leg earlier this year playing football. The leg would just not heal. After testing, they discovered the little boy has cancer. The school is saving can tabs for the family. The tabs will be sold to help the family pay for treatment. He has a younger sister who is close to my 2 year old nieces age. My sister has given up 1 day a week of Henley's daycare so the mother of this little boy can have a place to take the little girl when they take the boy to treatment. 

I made these 3 boxes for my sister's family, my parents, and my family to put our tabs in. I didn't have the correct cartridge, so I used a bear I had.  I also didn't have a trashcan, but this box is gonna hold "can" tabs! :) Here is my submission for the Flaunt It Fridays: FIF #8 - Give A Hoot challenge.




RECIPE
-Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - (I call it box 20)
-Every Day Paper Dolls - bear
-Plantin SchoolBook - speach bubble

If anyone would like to help this little boy's family, it would be greatly appreciated. Just let me know in a comment and leave an email address (my email at provider dot com) and I will email you my address.

Spending The Day With 3 Of My 4 Nieces!

Yesterday my sister took her oldest daughter to go Prom Dress shopping. She asked my mom to watch her younger 3 daughters. Nee Nee (me) went over to help. I took my expression, gypsy, and all that goes with it over to help my mom. I mentioned making shirts that the girls could paint from stencils cut from freezer paper. Mom said go for it. The 2 older girls chose what they wanted on their shirts and I picked something out for the youngest. I figured Hannah (10) would want to help me cut out her stencil, but no. Heidi (5) wanted to do everything she could. 

All 3 shirts fit into a challenge - lucky me. Hannah wanted "Girls Rule Boys Drool" She picked out a green shirt and painted with PINK, yellow and blue. We picked a crown for Henley (2). We got a PINK shirt and painted the crown yellow with PINK jewels. I am entering these into My Pink Stamper's first Blog Hop! 


Don't know why the color washed out.



Heidi wanted a shirt she could wear to her sister's,  Holly (16), basketball games. They are The Tonkawa Buccaneers. Their colors are orange and black. SKULLS and CROSSBONES are always a big hit with the Bucs. Heidi decided on a flag with a SKULL and CROSSBONE and the word Bucs. I am entering this shirt in Flaunt it Fridays  -FIF #7 - MINI MONSTERS Skull challenge.



Hannah and Heidi had so much fun helping with their shirts. Henley wanted to, but I didn't think she was old enough. She did, however, make her own design...

 



MY PINK STAMPER
I don't have any stamp sets yet (on my wish list). I can use PINK though.
"Girls Rule Boys Drool" was cut on at 1" from Plantin SchoolBook using Roly Poly. The "drool" drops were cut out at 3" from Paper Dolls for Everyday. They were welded to the word Droll using my Gypsy.

The "Crown" was cut at 12.47" from Paper Doll Dress Up.

FLAUNT IT FRIDAY -
I don't have Mini Monsters, but I do have a couple carts that have SKULLS and CROSSBONES (a must have for my family). The flag with SKULL and CROSSBONES was cut at 6.35" from Paper Doll Dress Up. "Bucs" was cut at 1" from Plantin SchoolBook using Roly Poly.

Here are all 3 of my girls in their new shirts.
