Be Mine at Exploring Cricut

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

This week is Valentine's Day, which means my students are allowed to have a party at school (There are only 3 approved days ~ Christmas, Valentines, and last day of school.). I am planning a cookie party where the students will get to decorate sugar and chocolate cookies with frosting, sprinkles, and Red Hots. They will also get to exchange Valentines and ooh and aah at the ones they receive. I made the Panda treat bags. Should be fun! 

 

Today there is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut.

Theme: Be My Valentine

I altered one part of this flourish...I changed the flower (was at the top) to a heart. Then I added the heart sentiment to the center of the blooming flower on the far left.

Materials:

red cardstock

Bo Bunny pattern paper

Sweethearts Cricut cartridge ~ flourish (p. 76)

white pearls

K. Andrews stamp

black ink

red heart ribbon

 

Other Challenges:

Scrappy Frogs ~ red or pink

2 Sisters Challenge ~ Hearts

Allsorts ~ Valentines

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Scraps (all papers)

My Sheri Crafts ~ Valentines

 

Can't wait to see what you make. Be sure to stop by Exploring Cricut to see the other design team projects.

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

This Puppy Loves You

Do you have a dog? I do and she loves attention! She loves to be rubbed right behind her ear and on her neck. If you give her lots of love she gets a smile on her face too.

I created this card for Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge #2 ~ Puppy Love

•  Sweetheart Cricut cartridge
• BoBunny pattern paper and solid cardstock (pink, brown, and white)
• white ribbon
• pink gems
• wiggly eyes in black
• Happy Valentine's Day stamped inside in pink ink

Until next time,

Georgiana

It's Just You & Me

Today has been a very good day. This morning I went to Joanns and purchased some paper stacks on clearance for a marvelous price and then drove over to Michaels (There were no more $9.99 cartridges, but I really didn't expect to find any.). I found a great deal on a Martha Stewart Heart edge punch set and some embellishments that I am planning to use as blog candy for upcoming hops. Maybe you saw the cute picture on the right sidebar. A Sweetheart Blog Hop coming February 5th. I am looking forward to hosting the event which put me in the mood to think of my sweetie. Can you see us? We are the pair of squirrels smootching under the lover's tree. : )

I also created this card for 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge ~ Metal and Cupcake Craft Challenge ~ Something New. I have these heart brads that I got at Hobby Lobby for 50% off and I wanted to find a way to use them. What do you think? I think they fit perfectly in the tree.
