For Girl's Camp this year, our theme was "Shine in the World and Not of the World." I talked about it more in this post. I thought today I would share with you some of the cute handouts we made for different reasons at camp this year.
6th Year Youth Leader's Handout
The girls who have gone to camp for 6 years are going to be seniors in high school and they are actually leaders to the younger girls. It will be their last year as a youth at camp, so we like to recognize them and give them a little gift at the end of camp. I found the adorable light bulb shaped bottles on Oriental Trading. I used yellow Sixlets to fill the bulbs to make them look like they are shining. Then, I used this adorable handout from Lil' Luna of this year's young women's theme as a card to go with the bottle of chocolate. I printed it on card stock, cut it on my paper cutter to 4" x 6" and slid them into self sealing 4"x 6" bags. They looked so great!
Adult Leader Thank Yous:
I chose "cookie" as a name for the cooks, but these thank you cards would be perfect for anyone you want to give a little cookie treat to for any occasion. If you want to copy them off to use, simply click the button below!

I keep thinking of 2 ways to begin this Fun Friday post. First, it is swimming season. Can you have enough towels? My kids used to drag them through the dirt while they were wet, so they needed to be washed daily. Second, since it is that swimming time of year, I thought I would personalize some beach towels for my grandchildren, but my first idea didn't go so well. The idea that I am going to blog about today came about as I tried to fix my first mistake. I came up with this fun project that your kids can help you with! For Fun Friday, decorate some beach towels with fabric markers.
Recently I have been finding new ideas for using my heat gun. One idea I saw was to to embossing on fabric. One person said that she had personalized beach towels. When I tried it, it wasn't as successful as I would have hoped. The embossing powder blew around on the fabric and that caused a mess around the letters on the towel. Since that happened, I have been racking my brain for a way to rescue the towel. I got these towels for just $6.99 at Target, but I still didn't want to waste them! Then, I saw my fabric markers and decided to try to outline the letters with a fabric marker. What a difference!
Now I want to do towels for all of my grandchildren! I had two more towels ready to go on hand, so I did them for my other 2 grandchildren who live in town. I didn't do any glittery embossing powder, but I just used the fabric markers to decorate them. You can use stencils or free hand them. Make pictures or other decorations with the colorful markers. If your kids are old enough, they can decorate their own towel.
I used Tulip brand fabric markers. They come in a variety of tips and vibrant colors. They also dried quickly so there was no wait time. Emily was able to use hers at swimming lessons the same day.
Ha Ha, she loves to say cheese!

These aren't pictures by my house, but just examples of what can be stuck to shoes and feet of people entering your house!
There are so many things in the summer that get tracked into the house! Grass, sand, mud, the list goes on. This month for Handmade Monthly I decided that I would share something that I needed for my backdoor! I had a doormat out there, but it seemed like everyone barely used it. I was constantly sweeping up dry grass and whatever else got tracked in. So, somewhat tongue in cheek and somewhat seriously, I took my cue from a shampoo bottle and made this mat that says, "Wipe yer feet! REPEAT."
I think these mats would make great gifts as a housewarming gift for people with kids. Or, change the words and they would be suitable any time of year for the front or the backdoor! Or, how about for an RV , camper or cabin? I found the mat I used at Dollar Tree! That's right! A doormat for $!.00! They have them on their website to order in bulk, and they have a bunch in their store. I decided to use embossing powder with my heat gun to create my design. It was pretty much a learning experience as I figured out what to do. I'll show you what I did and tell you what I learned! Supplies: plain doormat paint paint brush or foam brush embossing powder stencil Heat Gun
That was the basic overview. Here are the things I would do to make it easier.
In the end, I like the look of this mat by my backdoor. I think that the embossing will hold up better than just paint, but of course, using just paint is a definite possibility. I hope you will take some of my tips to heart, to make your mat less labor intensive!
I had fun trying to come up with good messages for my backdoor mat. If you have anymore cute sayings or ideas, let me know! 
These stencils are available at Dollar Tree.
