It's all about the hearts. Here you will find a pretty selection of heart themed lined stationery paper for Valentine's.
The following designs were created by moi, hope you enjoy.
This first design features a border of colorful hearts, in the colors of the rainbow, forming a border down the left hand side of the paper.
If you love snow, then this stationery is for you. White snowflakes designed with white hearts heads the top of this pink Valentine's stationery.
This stationery has more of a simple, yet fancy look. There are two magenta hearts with a lacy design; one at the beginning of the writing area and one at the end.
If you like simple and colorful, this design is for you. It features just six hearts in the colors of the rainbow, with three hearts at the top and three hearts at the bottom of the page, on a pink border.
And if simple red and white are the colors for you, then here it is. A parade of hearts across the top and the bottom, in various sizes, on a background of white.

Kids Can Create a Halloween Story
Kids love to create, whether it is art, a story, something to build, etc.
Here you will find a Halloween book made just for helping children create Halloween stories.
Each page begins with either a picture prompt, a written prompt, or both.
There is a box at the top of each page; some have a picture already in the box that can be added to. Or the box is blank so the child can draw their own image suggested by a written prompt.
There is a line at the top of each page, above the picture, where the child can write the title for their story.
There are solid and dashed lines below the picture box for the children to write their story, based on the picture in the box.
There are approximately 1.25 pages allotted for each story, and enough pages for 31 stories in all. That's a lot of creative writing for the kids!
You can check the book out on Amazon. It is called 31 Days of Creating Halloween Stories: Halloween Story Writing and Drawing Journal for Kids.
The book has a Look Inside feature so that you can take a peak inside before purchasing.
I hope that you and your child/children enjoy this fun and creative writing activity.

USA Patriotic Postcards for the 4th of July
Welcome to USA Patriotic Postcards for the 4th of July. Here you will find a modern selection of red white and blue postcards for your holiday celebrations, greetings, and get togethers.
The first design features my painting inspired by the United States of America flag, with a bit of re-arranging. I continued the stripes across the top, made the stars blue and arranged them into a peace sign.
Fireworks are a big part of the 4th of July celebrations in America. This design is star themed as well. The end of each tail has a blue star on it and the tails streaming behind the stars are red. The whole design is on a background of white, and Happy 4th, is written across the display in blue.
Flowers signify growth to me. This next design features my abstract flower inspired by the stars and stripes. The center of the flower is outlines of two yellow golden stars; the petals are red and white stripes, and the leaves are blue and white stripes.
If more basic is your preference, here is my painting of Old Glory, done in pointillism. The background color shown is lavender, and it can be customized to any color of your selection.
For another more modern patriotic design is my stars and stripes heart design. There are two stars in blue, slightly behind a heart done in red and white stripes. The background color is light blue and it can be customized to your color selection.
This last postcard option features stars sans the stripes. This is my painting of whites stars, outlined in blue, arranged in a star pattern. I chose red as the background color, which can be customized if you like.
Hope you have enjoyed my artwork. The above links will take you to my CherylsArt store on Zazzle, a print on demand company. Zazzle offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee within 30 days of your receipt of the item(s).Zazzle prints and ships your order; I created the designs.

Order of Statehood Maps of the United States
If you are looking for a visual representation for the order of statehood for the United States, you've come to the right place. I did a painting of a map of the United States in shades of purple. The darkest purple is the first state. As the other states gained statehood, the color for those states is lighter than the state that had gained statehood before it.
How this project came about:
I was out shopping for wood plaques for some artwork and saw wooden maps of the United States. I just knew that I wanted to do something with that map, so I bought it. I looked forward to what I might create on it.
I considered a map of state birds or state flowers. But a lot of states didn't really have the room for such an endeavor.
However, the idea of flowers got me to thinking. I wondered what kind of flower the United States might look like if I painted each state a different shade according to the order of their statehood. I imagined perhaps that it might look like two carnations, one starting from each coast. Hmmm, sounded interesting.
What color should this "flower" be, I wondered. Carnations comes in a variety of colors. The flag of the United States is red, white, and blue. Perhaps from red to pink, or dark blue to light blue. But I didn't want it to represent any one political party. Well red and blue make purple, and white will make each shade a bit lighter. Purple it shall be then, something that represents all parties.
This first map is printed on posters. The darkest purple represents the first state, Delaware. The next lighter shade of purple represents the second state, Pennsylvania, and so on. All the way to the 48th state which is represented by the lightest shade of lavender. The corresponding number for the order of statehood is printed in white on each state.
I like how one can see the progression; it begins on the east coast with the purples and darker shades of lavender, gets around half way across the country, and then the medium lavender color jumps across to California before lighter shades of lavender start filling in the western half of the U. S.
As a fun and educational activity, students can write the number in on a smaller version of the map. I found that I started remembering more of the order with each activity that I did when creating this map.
Do you think this visual representation will help your students learn more about statehood? Let me know in the comments below.
