I love the=&0=&Victor graciously allows printing of his awesome =&1=& and I have made four different projects with them.  My most recent =&2=&project has been one I have wanted to tackle for a while…with LIDS from frozen-juice-from-concentrate containers. I’m assuming that these containers are available in the US… With our five kids, we open up about 2 of these containers a day! Hence, the vast collection! …You’ll see! I had templates (that I made of Victor’s =&1=&) printed at Staples, with larger images for the “calling-out” disks and 4-to-a-page bingo card templates with a different selection of saints on each layout. The colors are nice and bright and the images are crisp. Sorry…I can’t give you my templates…please go check out the Happy Saints website for yourself! I used a 2 1/2″ hole punch to get the right-sized circle for the frozen juice lids. I used rubber cement to glue the printed circles to the lids, using the side of the lid that has a lip. These little Happy Saints won’t be removed too easily from the lids!  They stack nicely and are fun to play with…all by themselves!   I bought a little package of decorative pebbles at the dollar store for counters, but you could use pennies, holy medals or tiddlywinks!  My bingo cards are a touch too small to use my =&6=&, but they would be fun to use (and match) as well in any Saint Bingo game…like the 30-card Saint Bingo set at Shower of Roses! They may not have exactly the same selection of saints, but it would be fun to compare the images!                       Happy BINGO with the Happy Saints!

How about HAPPY SAINT Valentine’s this year?
These are adorable…and I think can refocus this fun day, learning from and admiring the Saints!
Maybe just one little card will entice a child to learn more about the Communion of Saints!
…better than Angry Birds, don’t you think?
