Petit Collage by Lorena Siminovich
As a working mom of an artsy kid I always struggle to find ways to provide Snubnose with creative inspiration for fun things to do.Now that it is summer holidays, every morning I need to give Snubnose something to do – most times I take the easy way out and tell her to read a book and write a book report for me, or I give some math problems, but I know that Snubnose is really looking for me to give her some creative direction (and which I am sadly very bad at).
Pinterest does have a lot of ideas but everything feels very random and requires a lot of late night online browsing time (time I’d rather spend reading or blogging).
However, I recently received some Amazon vouchers and while I was browsing to check what I could use it for, I stumbled upon Petit Collage.
I love how the instructions seem quite clear-cut, and I”ll admit I love the idea of a house full of such whimsical details all made from scratch by Snubnose herself.
We really need a mailbox and wouldn’t it be awesome to make one?

The author is actually a designer/artist and has her own line of designs on sale here. I love these designs and I am pretty sure Snubnose would be super-thrilled to replicate some of these at home.
I do hope it’s true that the only things required are rubber stamps, paper, and scissors. I would hate to spend for a book only to realize that I have to buy a whole lot of additional stuff also.
Have you heard of Petit Collage or this book? Those images and her book trailer are seriously tempting me to pick this up for Snubnose.
