Catholic Rubber Stamps










Catholic Rubber Stamps carries a variety of saint stamps- see their site for more rubber stamps...these could be used to create holy cards, scrapbook images, icons, etc.
     Find Mother Cabrini (Wreath 1), St. Catherine of Siena among other saints. The above Miraculous Medal image could be used for St. Catherine Laboure crafts(Wreath 1).  Other images include Divine Mercy and lovely Marian stamps.
The Easter stamps include The Last Supper, and this pretty stained glass window with lilies (Wreath 2) 
The site also has directions on using the images on Shrinky Dinks- fun stuff!

*Please do not print the above images, as they are the property of Catholic Rubber Stamps.  If you need the images, kindly make a purchase from their business. :-)

doily bowls- orderliness or patience

Stephanie Lynn from Under the Table and Dreaming brings this tutorial as a guest blogger to Brown Paper Packages. (Hoping I covered all my bases with the hat tips there...)
This tutorial requires a very long drying time (as in, the girls will need to take home their gluey bowls and wait patiently for the lovely finished product). 
Read the tutorial for more- be sure to send bowls home in a box lined with plastic wrap or wax paper.
