Guess what?  I am going to take you to girls camp with me this week, kind of.  I will be leaving in the morning and won’t be back until Saturday.  So, the projects I will be showing you all week have to do with what I am getting into at camp.

Are you wondering just what this one is about?  Well…I will be helping the youth camp leaders keep things on schedule, they are busy, let me tell you.  One of the fun things they get to do is give out pins to any of the young lady campers, or adults, who are doing great things.  Our particular camp site is all about super heroes, so I thought our pin should reflect that.  I stamped on shrinky dink, remember that stuff?  It is pretty smooth, and those stamps really wanted to dance.  I put my stamp to work and then punched them out with my 2″ circle punch.  Nearly 170 of them.  My wrists were so sore.

They have to bake so they can do their shrinking.  I could do twenty at a time, so I did them all in about an hour and a half one morning before work.  Tricky stuff there.  You can see all of them all piled up.

See how small they get?  They ended up just big enough for me to glue a pin on the back.  Since they shrunk so much, it kind of covered up any of my slippy slidy stamping problems.  That was nice.  The glue worked out, but didn’t give me the look I wanted.  Either way, they are all done and ready to go.  Now, I just need to do the same.

Have a creative day!
