My fondest moments are always when I can make a little smile happen each day for my kids. So when Bettina sent me these stamps (Programmed Robots) I knew I was in heaven. They were going to get many many uses.
The following images I created to sneak into the kids lunch kits for school, just so they could read a happy note as they ate. Isn’t that fun? I know I LOVE when my husband sneaks me notes, or when the kids leave me their notes all over the house. Granted, my 21 month old Ireland left me a “note” in purple crayon all over one of our doors and walls. It did make me smile, before I got out the Mr.Clean white eraser.
I grabbed some white paper and begun stamping the cute little robots in different ways. For this one I stamped 3 different times, 3 different colours and not quite on top of each other, a little off so that it looked “raised”.
To emphasizes the cute detailing of the heart on his body, I used Glossy Accents by Ranger to make it pop.
For this little guy I had painted his body with Smooch.
For this little robot, I coloured him with Copic Markers.
I know I had fun making these very simple little cards, but I know the boys sure were excited to share their “notes” at school.
Enjoy the day. Stamp, get dirty and have fun!

What a fantastic idea! My 9 year old loves notes in his lunch box. And I love that he is not embarrassed by it at all…he thinks he is so cool when he opens his lunch and has one is stuck inside. You have inspired me to use some stamps on my next notes. I love that you made up a bunch and can grab them when you need them….super job!
Super cute idea! I’m sure they loved them Leica!
very cute, Leica. definitely making some cute little notes up for Asha’s lunch kit for after Spring Break. Don’t know if Dare or Carter would appreciate them though — hmmmmmm………maybe I’ll try it anyway.
