Would there be any interest in summer "crests" in the shop?
 

I just posted about something I"m hoping to do with my kids this summer and that is each of them having their own summer fun book where I would put in pictures from various summer activities and little crests

I was wondering if I should make these available for the store? And if so what sort of things are you hoping to see?

(keep in mind I don't draw little character people ;) )

Ie - swimming, bike rides, library days.. etc :)

TIA!

How about chasing fireflies, planting flowers, working in the garden, blowing bubbles, fishing, hiking, camping, shopping, and more to come...have to think on it some more;) Great idea for books and I am sure these items will be a hit too:)

sounds interesting.

Some additions to the list

museum
amusement park
zoo

I'm very interested in anything you make :wub: lol, but I'm a dork. I don't get what you're asking... like I don't know what you mean by little crests. :o

think girl/boyl scout badges/crests :)

I could have them in circles or little squares - the rationalist in me wants to do squares since i'd want to cut them out to put them in the books but the design part of me wants circles.. haha

What about shaping them like little shields. Like a police badge kinda. Not that I have any kids in scouts, so I'm not sure what the 'normal' shape is. Love the idea of them though.

Oh, duh! I get it. :D I didn't realize that's what you meant. Well, I'd buy them :D I think it sounds like a cute idea!!

What about a S'mores badge???

Love, love, love this!

I 2nd the s'mores badge. Lol.

I like what has been suggested so far.


Making ice cream
Popsicles
flying kites
I'd love to see a fried egg one (I remember that it was so hot that Darcy and her boys tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk on her blog).
road trip
movie night
camping in the living room
factory tours
car wash
baseball game
soccer


I'll think of more

eta: mini golf
sprinklers
beach
fireworks (sorry, showing my US bias for summer 4th fun)
parades
picnics
outdoor art (some cities have public art displays in the summer we attend i.e. decorated dog statues or birdhouses)
talent show
scavenger hunt
snow cones/slushies

And roasting marshmallows! These are 2 entirely different skills, you know!

Squares would be good for trimming and gluing.

Circles would be good for Avery sticker paper... Just sayin' :)

There are so many awesome suggestions!!

I have one more...Bathing the Dog;)

Can I give you my summer of fun list? lol

yes! haha :)

thanks for the suggestions thus far! :)

yes yes and yes...:) I would buy anything you make. Heck I bought both your baby kits and have very few baby pictures to scrap LOL

Did anyone mention travelelated badges?
Planes, cars, buses, trains, all sorts of different ways of getting places.

Ocean/water.

I'd love to see some gardening badges-- we planted tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, blueberries, etc, and part of Jeffrey's task this summer is taking care of the plants and compost.

This seems silly, but I'd also like to see something similar to a Sonic cup or a sno-cone badge. Both are big parts of our summer.

And, I may be alone in this one, but a crab badge. Every year the boys go crabbing on vacation. Jeffrey'd love that one.

lol jessica you make me laugh :P

OK Well just so you can see this is my folder for your kits (and I keep your collabs in a seperate folder LOL) I have a serious addiction to your kits! It is all your fault ;)

Traci, have you printed your summer of fun list somewhere? After thinking about ideas for this I'm getting excited for summer and can't wait for the kids to get out of school.

I though of another one...
Slip n Slide or sprinkler fun

I'm about to make a graphic for it, I think I have it finalized :)

What about One for back to school shopping...more like an I survived badge;). And one more...trip to grand-ma's/ grandparents.

I'd definitely buy them. I want to copy your book idea now, LOL.

Ideas of things we do in the summer....

summer library reading program
gardening
camping
swimming lessons
swimming
friendship
VBS vacation bible school

I'm sure there's just a ton you could do!

I think these would be a great idea!

Riding four wheelers

um, just coming in here to say... dooooo iiittt!!! Hehehe, I would love to use them!

state fair
festivals
horseback riding
archery

Love this idea... not just great for kids... perfect for us adult, or the whole family.... :)
