Each Wednesday night at church I lead our Girl’s Ministries. Currently I teach the middle school class but last week we mixed it up a bit. Last week I joined the 1st-4th grade girls for a craft project sponsored by Elmer’s! A few weeks earlier I had received this awesome wooden box that contained one adult kit and 5 kids kits and a Walmart gift card to purchase additional supplies.
I searched the craft ideas at Elmers.com but I didn’t find anything that struck my fancy so I reverted to my crafting love…scrapbooking. Though I haven’t actively scrapped for about 5 years I love the process of creatively capturing our family memories. So last week the girls created memory folders out of Elmer’s Mini Bi-Fold Foam Boards.

Adult Supply Kit
The adult supply kit contained:
· CraftBond Gel Pens
· CraftBond Extra Strength Glue Stick
· CraftBond Tape Runner
· Painters Markers
· X-ACTO Zigzag and Scallop scissor packs
· X-ACTO 8” Scissors
· X-ACTO Punch

Kids Supply Kit (mini bi-fold foam board not pictured)
Each kids kit included:
· CraftBond Extra Strength Glue Stick
· CraftBond Glue Spots
· Project Popperz Markers
· Mini Bi-Fold Foam Board
I brought lots of scrapbooking papers, borders, stickers and punchouts too. I explained to the girls what we would be making and that they should leave room to add pictures when they got home. Each girl chose their color scheme and embellishments and myself, Miss Kim and our helper Colleen assisted the girls as needed.

Some of the girls with their finished projects
