In the Designer's Words: "I used the Leisure Arts Art of Coloring Animals book and coloured 3 pages: 1 - I used Watercolour Pencils, 2 - I used really wet Watercolour Paints and 3 - I used Distress Markers. I then cut the pages using a variety of dies, to form 3 different boxes and bags. I cut the Therm O Web Toner Sheets from a Bow Die and used the Navy Deco Foil to make the die shiny! This project can be made using any Colouring Sheets and your choice of dies! It's a great way to use your colouring sheets and feature them in a project!"

This is worth a try! It's pretty easy and cheap. I can use my daughter's coloring pages for this project.

Note where your coloring books are FROM! MADE! There are also coloring pages - both simple and complex - to be found online. Just print and color! Try Crayola's page, and look up crayola's "free-coloring-pages" and click "adult coloring pages" and there are two, the one I lokked at called "intricate-designs-coloring-pages". There are others as well, all over the web. Print on half-way decent paper and you're set! Most, if not all, paper can be found Made In Usa as well. We can have fun with a clean conscience!
