Fantastic Friday's Guest Crafter

Hello to Everyone!
Thank you for visiting on this fantastic Friday. I have a special guest today and I know you have seen her work. If not, today is your lucky day. She makes amazing cards from her scraps and so many other creative projects. I have mentioned her before and my daughter was so impressed that she scraplifted her circle card for all her teachers and friends.

I would like to introduce Tara from Homemade Happiness.  
Yeah! 

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited that I am the guest crafter today at Carson's Creations. Thank you Georgiana for this wonderful opportuntity to share my creation with you and your followers.
(You're Welcome Tara! I am thrilled you agreed!)

For my appearance today I made a booklet that we will take with us on our trip to Ontario next week. I have been seeing those 'smash books' popping up and really liked the idea. I don't actually want to take glue and supplies on vacation (well... I do lol, but am not allowed and won't have much down time) so I decided to make a book with pockets that I can just tuck all our brochures and ticket stubs in. Then I will have them all in one place when I need them for creating my scrapbook afterwards. I have not decided yet, but I might even use this book as a mini book afterwards.

To create this book I used the same template as my card organizer that I made a while ago.  

 The measurements of the book are 8" by 7" with 4" deep pockets. Pop over to my blog if you would like to take a look at the card organizer (I'll have a link on today's post). I have also made a video of the card organizer and a demo on how to cut down and fold one of the pages so that you can make your own if you wish. For my Ontario book I used all patterned scrap paper. This helped out a bit on my mission to use my scraps up! I did cut one 12 x 12 piece down just for the cover because I didn't have any more big scraps that I liked enough for the cover after completing the inside pages but not bad considering :) The title on the front is stickers from my stash, little pieces of ribbon are all from my older stash of ribbon and the felt flower...I made it!

I hope you enjoyed Tara's visit today. I sure do love the colors she used for that cover and the ribbon is perfect! She has more wonderful pictures, instructions, and a giveaway, so please visit Tara at Homemade Happiness!

If you would like to be a guest crafter, please let me know. Either leave me a comment or send me an e-mail (coachfans at cox dot net).

Oh, could you please complete the cartridge poll in the upper left corner. I am very interested in your input! I have updated the "My Cricut Cartridges" tab and I am eager to see which cartridge may be next. Thanks! I would truly appreciate your opinion.

Until next time...which will be very soon since I am almost done with my Z-fold Pictorial, Pt. 2. I have a few extra tips that will extremely helpful with creating this type of card. Don't forget there is still time to enter Paper Playtime's Z-fold challenge.

Here is  a sneak peek.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana : )
