<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The weekend went by too fast since I went to a Boat Show on Saturday and then spent yesterday at a Baby Shower for my first niece. She is due in April and had quite a turn out. We teased her about having enough room for the baby with all her new stuff. I am already looking forward to next weekend since it's a three day one with President's Day although I don't have any plans yet. Rest and relaxation may be enough.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The week is off to a great start and there is plenty going on until the weekend. I have a trip to the Wellness Bus today, tutoring after school, an eye appointment on Wednesday, and a CAS meeting on Friday. Never a dull moment! I am thinking about taking a trip to <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">MFT</a></b> on Saturday morning since I won a gift certificate the other day and I really like a few of the new release items (like the ostriches, super dogs, and confetti stencil). </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today was Spaghetti Dinner for my son's Boy Scout that he was a member of for many years. He earned Eagle Scout through the troop and they paid for his college tuition, so it was a good time to show our support. My hubby is now in the living room watching the Super Bowl and I can hear him yelling at the TV. Me...I am in the craft room enjoying some creative time. It is not always easy to find the time since I have been busy with school (setting up a STEM Lab and conducting Science lessons), going to the Y, tutoring, and shopping (found some fabulous deals at Dillard's last weekend). </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend asked me to make her a few Valentine cards for her family and I said, "of course". I wanted to use this new <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/lots-of-heart-stencil"><b>MFT</b> heart stencil</a> and after seeing the <a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/2019/01/mft-color-challenge-110.html"><b>MFT</b> color challenge</a> I decided to blend the two together. I used Tim Holtz oxide inks (worn lipstick and wild violet) to create the background. Love the scattered hearts.</span></div>

I found this hippo colored by my daughter in her craft area and snatched it up (I figured she hadn't used him yet, so why not showcase him.). He just looks so happy. The stamped sentiment is from the same<b> <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">MFT</a></b> <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/bb-happy-hippos">Happy Hippo stamp set</a>.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every treat bag needs a big bow!

We have a science museum (<a href="https://www.osc.org/">Orlando Science Center</a>) coming to school with 15 different stations for the students to enjoy.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Friday Everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Only been back at school for school for two days and what a week. We had our telescope dedication yesterday and now we are getting a stereo microscope donated too. I have absolutely <b>NO</b> idea what it is (yet), <b>BUT</b> I am happy that our STEM Lab is going to be stepping up in the science world. I am also going to work on a wish list for another grant...yay for BIG companies that like to support Title I schools. I'll be exploring options this weekend!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am sharing a card that my daughter and I worked on collaboratively. I created the background using a sketch from <b><a href="https://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/2018/12/mojo-monday-506.html">Mojo Monday</a></b>. Yes, the sketches are back at <b><a href="https://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/">Poetic Artistry</a></b>! I selected the stamped sentiment and image from <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">MFT</a></b>, but my daughter did the stamping, heat embossing (she likes to do that to prevent bleeding), and coloring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Lots</b> planned this weekend...I need to write some science lesson plans for the STEM lab, grade some Math Winter Break packets for 3rd and 5th grade, going to Mr. Phil's observatory on Saturday night (hoping for clear skies), create and review a couple math assessments for fractions, and I can't forget...I need to make some crafty projects! I am thinking alcohol lift ink, treat boxes, "good job" post cards, water color backgrounds, oxide inks. So many ideas but I am not sure if there is enough time for EVERYTHING!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Crafty Friends,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for coming back to <b>Carson's Creations</b> to see what is new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The students head back to school today after being off for two weeks. I sent home some math packets on the last day before break, so I am looking forward to seeing how many students actually completed the work and submit it. I told the teachers I would collect, grade and provide a treat for each of the students. Hoping for a BIG pile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More exciting news for us Math and Science <i>nerds</i>...we had a gentleman, Mr. Phil, donate a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/d/Catadioptric-Telescopes/Celestron-NexStar-6-SE-Telescope/B000GUKTDM/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1546478153&sr=1-3&keywords=celestron+nexstar+6se+telescope">Celestron Telescope</a>. A couple 5th grade teachers and I met with him and was briefed on how to use it and we have decided to go back to school this Saturday night and put it to use. I am <b>SUPER</b> excited to see the night sky through a new lens. Hoping to see a planet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am sharing a pair of thank you cards I created using distress oxides, a mandala die cut, and the sentiment thanks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RZit-hASHB8/XC1GgGW-J5I/AAAAAAAAgro/kcBsQzHjKGwwuZhRzNLf_4jW3T63NVNkgCKgBGAs/s1600/mandala3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="1046" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RZit-hASHB8/XC1GgGW-J5I/AAAAAAAAgro/kcBsQzHjKGwwuZhRzNLf_4jW3T63NVNkgCKgBGAs/s640/mandala3.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, I inked the white cardstock with distress oxides (colors listed below) and then placed a <b>MFT</b> snowy stencil on top. I used a mister to spray some water and then dabbed it dry (which slightly removed some of the ink). I used Blueprints #27 to cut the scalloped rectangular background. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once the background was completely dry, I added the white <b>MFT</b> mandala and scattered a few white pearls. The sentiment "thanks" is by Paper Smooches and I cut it with my Cuttlebug. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this wonderful Wednesday! I am heading back to school for a Teacher Workday, which means I will be meeting with teachers during collaboration time. Each grade level has one hour scheduled throughout the day and we will be meeting with them to kick off third quarter. I am looking forward to seeing everyone after Winter Break and hearing all about their vacations/trips.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am sharing a fun and colorful birthday card. I just received this <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">My Favorite Things</a></b> <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics-pi-ata">pinata die</a> for Christmas and was super excited to cut it out. I did look at a few of the MFT design team projects to see their choice of colors and fringe. Once I decided on the plaid paper, finding the pinata's colors were a breeze. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used this week's sketch from <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2019/01/ch-401-january-2019-sketch.html">Die Cuttin' Divas</a></b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used the <b>MFT</b> cloud stencil and Broken China distress ink to create a background on white cardstock.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I received a few new alcohol ink colors for Christmas, so I decided to pull out the box and start using them again. My daughter and I had won some <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Deco-Foil-Transfer-Sheets-Gold/dp/B00SW79E0A/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1546232421&sr=1-5&keywords=deco+foil">gold deco foil</a> when we went the <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">My Favorite Things</a></b> holiday party and I thought this would be the perfect time to figure out how to use them together.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started by pulling out a few different shades of blue, my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-THoltz-White-Alcohol-Paper/dp/B01C7Q08TW/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1546232237&sr=1-2&keywords=tim+holtz+yupo">Tim Holtz Yupo paper</a>, and then made sure I had plenty of the <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/pp-tim19800.html?w=alcohol+blending+solution">blending solution</a>. After watching a few videos (listed below), I felt competent that I could give it a whirl. Creating the background was fun and then I was thrilled when the gold foil worked. The key was making sure the alcohol ink was still tacky but not wet. <b>Tip:</b> make sure you rub the foil and never scratch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The various <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/">MFT</a></b> dies were cut from <a href="https://www.michaels.com/gold-cardstock-paper-by-recollections/10541735.html#q=gold+foil+cardstock&start=3">Recollections gold foil cardstock</a> with my Cuttlebug.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used a piece of yellow Bazzill cardstock for this next card base and then cut the matching THANKS letter with the other half of the paper. Looking for a different pop of color rather than the white base. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hard to believe it is already Sunday (I have to remind myself every morning what day it is while on break since I have the tendency to forget) and I head back to school on Wednesday. I am going to have to practice writing 2019, so I don't goof when signing forms during the first week. How long does it usually take you to adjust to the new date?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have another card/challenge to share.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I used the following color palette from <b><a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/2018/12/mft-color-challenge-108.html">My Favorite Things</a></b>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the first time I used the Celebrate Speech Bubble...it's one of my new dies! I like the versatility with this die since you can use just the negative, create a shaker, or change the colors of the letters like I did. The stamped sentiment is from the <b>MFT</b> <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/you-wow-me">"You Wow Me" stamp set</a>. I added sequins (silver/teal) in the corners to match the challenge colors.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The scallop rectangle is from Blueprints 20 and the stitched rectangle is from Blueprints 24. I am bummed that <b>MFT</b> doesn't make as many Blueprints as they previously did. I don't have all of them, but I have quite a few. I like mixing and matching the metal die pieces to create a variety of layouts. They are super easy to cut too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Merry Christmas Eve,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last night we went to my sister's house to celebrate Christmas since Denny has chemo treatment at 9am this morning. What a trooper! He looks good even with losing his hair (my hubby lost his hair years ago, so I have a thing for bald guys) and still has a sense of humor (except when it comes to all the nurses poking needles in him...ouch!). We gave Denny our "Jar of Love" with all of our donations that Kels and I raised. He was extremely grateful!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Thank you again for everyone's support!</b></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found the Doodlebug Design sloth on Silhouette Design Store and cut him out with my Cameo. The stamped sentiment is from Art Expressions ~ Sloth-some Set.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wanted to share a post from Facebook...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kelsey and I want to "THANK" everyone that has contributed to the <b>Carson's Cards for Cancer</b>. During the past week we have had an overwhelming response and we are truly appreciative for ALL the support. Our goal was to raise $707 (the co-pay for just one cancer medicine) and we are currently at $532.50. We are now making thank you (Kristen, I am working on yours) and New Years cards and we can make birthday cards/tags too. THANK YOU again! Denny's next treatment is Christmas Eve and we are planning to surprise him then. Hopefully this will add a little cheer to his day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Everyone,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last couple of days have been quite productive since my daughter and I have been making projects for our <b>Carson's Cards for Cancer</b> fundraiser. We have made cards, tags, and candy treats. We are very appreciative for all the support that we have received so far and look forward to making more projects this weekend. My brother-in-law is going to be <b>SUPER</b> surprised when he hears all about our efforts!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Today's project...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made Hershey nugget holders and the svg file came from <b><a href="https://www.myscrapchick.com/productlist.cfm?keywords=nugget">My Scrap Chick</a></b>. I used solid colored card stock for the nugget base and the candy wrappers are from a variety of paper that were cut with a <b>Jaded Blossom</b> die.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Everyone and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Saturday! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Only another week-and-a-half to Winter Break, but my daughter is already home enjoying hers. She has been busy in the craft room, so I will be competing for the big chair during the next three weeks. That makes me happy to know she enjoys crafting too. When I woke up this morning I found six of the cutest holiday tags that she made after I fell asleep last night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this birthday card the other day and wanted to share before the Christmas projects start to dominate time and space. I <i>really</i> like how this one turned out. I actually surprised myself since I have not been through some of my supplies in quite a while. Time to change that!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Crafty Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hanukkah began last night, so I wanted to make sure I included my friends that celebrate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="color: #1d2936; line-height: 1.12; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What is Hanukkah?</span></h2>
<div style="color: #1d2936; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for “dedication,” is the Festival of Lights.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2936; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It commemorates the <a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Hanukkah/History.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(63, 198, 243) 0px -0.1em 0px inset; color: #1d2936; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75) 0px 1px 0px; transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">victory of the Maccabees</a> over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the <a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Tisha_BAv/Ideas_and_Beliefs/The_Temple.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(63, 198, 243) 0px -0.1em 0px inset; color: #1d2936; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75) 0px 1px 0px; transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">Holy Temple</a> in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah, or lamp.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2936; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The miracle of Hanukkah is that only one vial of oil was found with just enough oil to illuminate the Temple lamp for one day, and yet it lasted for eight full days.</span><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oArN6gubYcc/XARXpUr6qZI/AAAAAAAAgPo/NYgoacgNUMAvoVYTziTt_K4PYuXdJDsPQCKgBGAs/s1600/Hanukkah1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="1087" height="472" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oArN6gubYcc/XARXpUr6qZI/AAAAAAAAgPo/NYgoacgNUMAvoVYTziTt_K4PYuXdJDsPQCKgBGAs/s640/Hanukkah1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used an svg file from Too Cute By Jessica.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This morning my hubby and I went to get our pictures taken as part of a fundraiser for my brother-in-law who was just diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My wonderful niece and her best friend organized the entire event to raise money to go toward his treatment. It was a bit cloudy and windy, but who cares! It was all for a good cause. We did take the dog to the farm and she had a good time checking out the cows. I am thinking about organizing a card drive and then donate the money to his treatment. Has anyone ever done that? If so, please give me input! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Happy Saturday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Can you believe it is December 1st already?!?! I've been super busy this past week making a variety of projects, so I am looking forward to sharing. I did a little online shopping during the Black Friday sales, which is exciting since I now have some new stamps/supplies. I don't even have to wait till Christmas to use them since I used birthday gift certificates. Also, I signed my daughter and I up for the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/classes">My Favorite Things Christmas Party</a> on the 15th...fun! fun! fun! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I made this sweet birthday card for a one year old.The pattern papers are from a MFT 6" x 6" paper stack ~ Hearts and Stripes. I did stamp the inside with Distress Oxide Black Soot...Look who's one!</span></div>
