Mermaid Birthday Wishes at Paper Play Sketches

Happy Wednesday,

We have an early release today, which means students get out of school two hours early. They leave early so we can have professional development. Today our focus is going to be on Math and Science. We have all new district staff, new curriculum maps, new methods...so there has been a lot of change to adjust to. It sure is taking a toll on everyone.

Today is also Paper Play Sketches day. I have not been able to participate too much lately and Janis has been very understanding. Thanks Janis!

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

Another birthday card for a cute little girl. 

I cut this darling mermaid on my Cameo. 

I added some clear Wink of Stella to her tail and bow. The blue gems are by Eyelet Outlet and Brads. 

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketches challenge. Be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see how they used the sketch.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Term Over at Eyelet Outlet and Brads

Hello Everyone,

I just got back yesterday from a week long cruise in the Caribbean. What a fabulous way to end summer break before heading back to school on Thursday. We went to Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico and did an excursion at each port. Fun! Fun! Fun! We are already talking about next year's cruise since it will be our 25th anniversary. My first choice is a Scandinavian trip with stops in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Amsterdam, and/or Russia. We need to research ports and flights before making any final decisions. Wherever we decide, it will definitely be memorable. 

Today is the last day of my Eyelet Outlet and Brads term. Six months has flown by and it was a pleasure showcasing so many different products. I know I will continue to use a variety of the products and hope you will add some to your collection.

I used a few My Favorite Things products but really want to focus on the vellum and pink gems. Since adhesive will typcially show through vellum I applied small dots of glue behind the gems. Now you can't see any residue and the vellum is securely adhered.

I added Wink of Stella clear glitter to the MFT sheep.

I Can't Thank You Enough at Eyelet Outlet and Brads

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is my second to last day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads since my term will be complete at the end of July and I am showcasing a few different products from the shop.

Here is my Design Team project...

I am still trying to add some thank you cards to my stash. When I go back to school in two weeks I want to be able to give a card to the parents that send in items from the class wish list. Due to budget cuts, our class supply orders were cancelled and I am going to be appreciative of anything that I can get for the students. 

I used the following sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I layered the light purple flowers and added a round daisy brad in the center. Both the flowers and brads come in a variety of colors. The flower was adhered with a 1/2" Glue Dot.

The background was created using MFT periwinkle ink and a splatter stamp from the Distressed Patterns set. The stamped sentiment is by My Favorite Things ~ Thank so Very Much set and the heart enamel dots are from Eyelet Outlet and Brads.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

Adventures Awaits

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads and I am showcasing the compass and gold brads.

Here is my Design Team project...

I made a tag for my daughter's boyfriend. She got him a special gift for his birthday and I told her I would create a tag to match the theme of her present. It is a surprise.

First, I cut the two piece tag with the Jaded Blossom treat die. I used Ranger Brushed Corduroy distress ink and a spritz of water to create the background. The adventure title is from Miss Kate Cuttables, which was cut on my Cameo. The compass and gold brads are by Eyelet Outlet and Brads. The gold ribbon was fed through the hole and then the brown ribbon was tied into a bow.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

You Make Me Wildly Happy

Happy Friday Everyone!

Wow! This week is a blur...where did time go? I am pretty sure I got quite a bit accomplished, but I definitely need summer to slow down. I head back to school in less than a month and I want to enjoy every moment.

Today I am combining my Miss Kate Cuttables and Eyelet Outlet and Brads post together. I have done this previously and it works well when my day to share overlaps.

Here is my Design Team project...

The peeking zebra is by Miss Kate Cuttables and the round red enamel dots and hearts are by Eyelet Outlet and Brads.

I used the following sketch by My Favorite Things.

I placed  polka dot vellum on top of the white stitched circle so the zebra would not blend in. The stamped sentiment is by My Favorite Things ~ Lovable Leopards set.

Other Challenges:
Sunny Day Crafting ~ Animals

Be sure to stop by Miss Kate Cuttables for your freebie...one every day. Then head over to Eyelet Outlet and see what type of deals there are.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend,

Would You Rather Be the Dog or Fire Hydrant?

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads and I am showcasing the black dog brads.

Here is my Design Team project...

Since I am a major dog lover, I couldn't resist using these dog brads.

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Dog- Gone Awesome set.

  

The popped up fire hydrant is by Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and the diagonal sentiment strip cover-up is by My Favorite Things.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

May All Your Wishes Come True

Happy Friday and Good Day to All!

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads and I am showcasing some patriotic foil washi tape and square sticky jewels, which is also perfect for the upcoming U.S. holiday (Independence Day).

Here is my Design Team project...

My father-in-law's birthday is the first week of July and I typically make him a birthday card using red, white, and blue colors. This year is no different. The pattern paper is from Pebbles ~ Americana stack.

I used the following sketch from Try Stampin On Tuesday.

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Sweet Birthday Wishes. I like this one because it has stars inside the o's to match the washi tape.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

No Prob-Llama, That It's Your Birthday!

Happy Friday and Good Day to All!

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads, so I have some more cute brads to share that became available during the Spring Release.

Here is my Design Team project...

I chose this MFT frame (Blueprints 27), so I could showcase these llama brads in each window.

  I added a piece of bling strip around each square. It is easy to cut to the length that you need.

I cut the balloon on my Cameo and added a piece of black craft thread for the string.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

RAK ~ Pass It On

Happy Friday Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by. This week has flown by and I am pleased to say that I  have accomplished a few tasks on my to-do list. Hubby is home today (during the summer the school system works four 10 hour days), so we might head to the movies to see Wonder Women. I heard it received good reviews.

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads, so I have some fun brads that were just released this past Spring as part of my project.

Here is my Design Team project...
I have been thinking about all my crafty friends lately and how kind and considerate everyone is. That led me to create this card  with hopes of spreading some RAK love.

This card is similar to the turtle one I made the other day with the stitched squares, but it is a different MFT frame (Blueprints 27). I just love how the brads fit in each space so nicely. I added the white flag pennant behind each envelope then popped them up for dimension.

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom~ Random Act of Kindness set.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

These Turtles are a Little Slow

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by. Today I am posting for the regularly scheduled Carri of DoubleClick at Eyelet Outlet and Brads since she covered me while I was redoing my craft room. THANKS Carri for being an awesome teammate! 

Here is my Design Team project...


The turtles fit perfectly within these stitched squares (which is part of  the MFT Blueprint 20).

The sentiment is computer generated and I added a green button with a Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine bow.

I don't know who I will give this to, but I know I am always (well, maybe just often) late so it will come in handy. Being late comes natural...I was born ten days late! Story of my life!

I'll Stand By You

Happy Friday Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by. Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads. 

Here is my Design Team project...

I have seen lots of flamingo projects during the past week, so I wanted to join the fun.

I chose a MFT frame that would fit three flamingo brads from Eyelet Outlet and Brads.

I matched the sentiment by using the MFT Tickled Pink stamp set.

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.
