I have some photos that I wanted to share of a Girl Scout Troop that took over the office last month. The troop leader, Brandy, her daughter, Katie and I sat down and figured out 4 fairly simple Valentines for the Troop to stamp in vast quantities. Then we picked a day where the Troops descended. We had a fabulous day and each Scout that attended made enough of the Valentines for their classes (about 30 for each Scout).
Here's one of the easier ones. It's just a quarter sheet of glossy cardstock stamped randomly with the I {Heart} Hearts set. The girls had a blast choosing the colors and then were able to put it in one of our Clear Translucent envelopes with a piece of candy. I love using the foil wrapped chocolate hearts in a color that I've used on the Valentine itself.
Here's another that I call a Valentine Taco. A circle was cut with the Big Shot and the Circle Scallop die. The girls stamped tags of their choice and then were able to wrap the Circle Scallop around a mini candy bar (Twix works great) and a Mini glue dot holds them in place fabulously.
The best part of the morning was that the girls earn a Card Making Patch.
If you know of any other Scout Troops that would love to use the office for their Card Making Patch, I am available and would love to help coordinate the process.
There is a CARDMAKING patch? Really?
Very cool. I know some girl scouts, too.
I like the Taco. Dont tell Dave.
I don’t think there was a cardmaking patch when I was a Girl Scout – or this hobby would have started much sooner!!
I think I may have picked out a card to send you that may be worthy – you’ll have to let me know!! I CASE’d you when making it!!
Yes there is a patch & it is REALLY cool.
Thanks again for working with my troop!!!
