Paper Smooches and Scor-Pal Blog Hop

Paper Smooches is joining forces with Scor-Pal all week long. Today, I'm thrilled to share a cute little project that I made to occupy my son. It's a creative game I'm calling Pour & Create.

I started by making a mini milk carton using this Beate Johns tutorial and my trusty Scor-Pal which I absolutely love! It makes perfect score lines every time even after years of use. I also can't live without Scor-Tape which is one of my must-have adhesives.

After cutting, scoring and assembling the milk carton, I die cut some blooms and monogrammed it with an 'E' which is really an ampersand from We Connect but I love how it looks like a scripted 'E' for Emily. I know my son is eventually going to change it to his initial. ;)

There are about 50 die cut pieces of various Paper Smooches stamps from Cuteasaurus, Flap Happy, We Connect, Wicked Nauticool and Woofers & Tweeters.

All I have to do is pour out a few pieces and ask my son to make up a story with them. He can also glue them on a piece of paper and draw out a scene to incorporate those pieces.

If he's not playing LEGO or Playmobil, he's drawing and colouring. It makes me so happy to watch him create and then tell me a story.

Both Paper Smooches and Scor-Pal are giving away prizes so be sure to check these two blogs every day, today through Friday, May 31st.
