Stampin' Up a Storm

When I was little, I remember making stamps out of potatoes and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. It would be a good rainy day activity but I have a niggling feeling that potatoes and a 21-month-old may not be the best combination.

So I thought I'd make some of my own stamps. That's a linoleum block up there with a squiggle by Kumi. The white blocks are supposed to "cut like butter" -- let's hope that's true. I want to make large stamps that will be easy for Kumi to hold, but I haven't quite figured out all the mechanics of it. As for the designs...there will definitely be an apple. She can't get enough of them and wants me to draw apples all the time.

Why not just buy them, you might ask? What fun is that??

I'll let you know how the project turns out. We have plenty of rainy days so there may be a lot of stamping going on.
