A School Project ~ Kagan Mats

Hello Everyone,

Today I was thinking about all the projects I created in June (I almost got one completed each day, but the cruise prevented me from making a few projects towards the end) and I was contemplating if I should give it a try for the rest of this month. I saw Sharon from Mee Mee's Creations is on a roll already and doing it, so why not! It is a good challenge!

Now, I must warn you though...not all the projects may be cards, treat bags, or layouts. I am going to throw in a few school projects. Starting with this one I have been working on for the past two days. I went to a training at the beginning of summer break and did not want to buy the commercial products, so...I made something to match my class.

Here is the product...

Kagan mats

Here is my version...

My class colors are black, lime green, yellow, and white. I used my Cricut Expression ~ Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the letters and numbers.

This is the reversed side. I used Publisher and then printed the four corners. I just need to laminate them for durability.

Looking forward to using them in the class.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for an important announcement!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Use a Bug Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have been super busy with getting back into a school routine, but made time to share the new DoubleClick Skittles Challenge. Hoping to get settled once I get finish with the initial testing and grouping of my new class. Should take about another week or two!

This Week's Challenge...

Use a Bug

Here is my Design Team project...

I have a slight obsession with lady bugs and butterflies. I have a few plants in my backyard that I am constantly admiring because these bugs are attracted to them.

I used Black Skittles.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the "Use a Bug" challenge at DoubleClick Skittles. Be sure to check out the other Design Team members.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mickey Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's time for a DoubleClick Skittles Challenge and a new Skittles release...Believe in Magic is now available.

This Week's Challenge...

Disney or a Mouse

I used the new Believe in Magic Skittles Release.

Aren't these mouse-a-licious?!?!

Love the way he looks like he is daydreaming. Mickey was cut from the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the "Disney or a mouse" challenge at DoubleClick Skittles. Be sure to check out the other Design Team members and see how they used the new Believe in Magic skittles.

From the Ocean Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

It's time for the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge...Week 2.

This Week's Challenge...

From the Ocean

I have seen mermaids, starfish, a sea horse, and an otter. Such a variety of projects already submitted! Can't wait to see more!

Here is my Design Team project...

I decided to change the shape of the base (Campin' Critter Cricut cartridge p. 66) and use distress inks to create the background. The polka dot jellyfish was cut from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (p. 41). I really like the embossed waves, BUT those little fish are terrible. I thought I would like them with Stickles, but I don't. I am going to replace them! 

I used Denim Blue Skittles and the stamped sentiment is from K Andrews.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the "From the Ocean" challenge at DoubleClick Skittles. Be sure to check out the other Design Team members and see how they used the skittles.

Thanks for stopping by!

July's Sketch at Die Cuttin' Divas...Use for Any Occasion

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this terrific Tuesday. Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

July's Sketch

Here is my Design Team project...

A pair of cards for any occasion.

I went thru the scrap bucket and I found these various papers from different companies that matched nicely. 

First, a simple flower from the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. The blue glitter paper adds a bit of pizzazz.

The inside of the card and the envelope (not shown) used pieces of the scraps too.

The second card could be for a special friend you haven't talked to in a while.

The little bird was cut from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "July's Sketch" challenge. The other design team members have definitely used this sketch to create a unique masterpiece. Be sure to check them out today!

Thanks for stopping by!
