Three Gifts for Your Birthday

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

Wow!
What a busy week it has been. I had to head back for training earlier this week for three days, so my crafting was neglected. That was a bummer! I have been working on preparing for a new school year in a new grade level, with new materials, and new standards. Yikes...not feeling a little pressure to perform! I am also reading a book by Ron Clark called The End of Molasses Classes. It is definitely a fun read.

I do want to say thank you for all the Cricut/Provo Craft comments. I haven't had the opportunity to say I appreciate the feedback. It seems most of the problems stem from the newer machines (I still have the original Expression) and the policies to monopolize the industry. Thank you again! It sure helped me understand.

Since I haven't been crafting much this past week, that also means I haven't had the opportuntity to enter any challenges. Well, that just had to change! I made time and stayed up late to combine a few challenges.

Here is my project...


Materials:
My Mind's eye paper ~ Darling Dear stack
white card stock
Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge ~ gifts (p. 43) cut at 2 3/4"
Elegant Edges ~ scallops (p. 48) cut at 3 1/4"
Swiss Dots embossing folder
buttons (yellow, red, and blue)
white embroidery floss
yellow liquid pearls
happy birthday (wood mount) stamp
black ink

Challenges:

Today I plan on staying busy with crafting (and cleaning house in between projects). I have three different card orders to work on, so I have plenty to do! Plus, I have a bunch more challenges to enter still!

Thanks for stopping by. I will be hopping on over shortly to see what you have been working on too. I don't want to miss out on anything!

I sure hope there is enough time in the day to do EVERYTHING!

Hope you have a great day and enjoy your weekend,
Stay Creative,
Georgiana

  6. Very pretty, I love the paper you used.
    I saw your question about Provo craft, I have all their machines, I seem to have more problems with the imagine and my gypsy , BUT I still love all of them, I have always had good customer service, sometimes I have do to wait awhile to get through, but I have had to wait to get through to lot of other places. I did buy a cameo probably 6 months ago, love it, but LOVE my circuit machines..
    Wondering if you got my email?
