Let Freedom Ring at Little Scrap Pieces and 3 Year Blogoversary Winners

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Sorry to be running a little late. It has been a busy week! I had AIMS Math training two days, my son's vehicle was in the shop, my daughter had Driver's Ed and her road test, and I am trying to walk 3 miles everyday. Next week should be a calm week where I will have more time to craft. Yeah...looking forward to that!  

 

Today brings a new challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.

 

The Challenge...Let Freedom Ring

 Do you ever go looking for paper and can not find what you are looking for? I wanted a classic patriotic paper and didn't like anything I had; therefore, I had to purchase some. I was looking for an Americana theme, but it was difficult to find a pad. I ended up buying individual sheets. 

 

Here is my Design Team project...

I cut two of the bells and adhered them in the center. I added cream ribbon to tie them together at the top. 

I attached the bells with an action wobble, so they would appear to be ringing.

Brrring! Brrrring!

Materials:

Paper Studio paper (Hobby Lobby)

red, blue, and cream card stock

Sweater Weather Cricut cartridge

Independence Day Cricut cartridge

cream ribbon

red and blue pearls

action wobble

 

Other Challenges:

Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Stars and Stripes

Cut It Up! ~ Independence Day

Simply Create Too ~ Country Flag's colors (red, white, and blue)

Five Simple Things ~ Anything Goes Linky Party

DL.Art ~ Patriotic

Good Morning Crafty Friends!

So glad you stopped by today. In fact...I am glad you stopped by yesterday, the day before, last week, last month, and the time before that too. I want to say THANK YOU for being my crafty friends.

Today is a very special day!

It is my 2nd Blogoversary!

Yeah!

To celebrate this special day I am having a giveaway with some of my favorite goodies. I love paper, all types of embellishments (ribbons, buttons, gems), Cricut cartridges, embossing folders, Spellbinders,  and edge punches. I have started to create a package (see below) of crafting goodies for one lucky person. If I reach 950 followers I will create two packages. Being  extremely hopeful, if I can reach 1,000 followers I will create a third package.

Thank you again for making this another spectacular year.

I hope there are many more to come!

Happy Blogoversary to Carson's Creations

It is hard to believe that it has been one year since I started this site. I have to thank my friend, Yvette, for getting me hooked on Cricut. She pushed me to get my first Expression and now she probably thinks "Oh my!" Last summer, we sat and talked on the phone to figure out how to start our blogs, which backgrounds would look the best, who we should follow, and then we would call, e-mail or text each other the newest challenges we should enter.

Thank You Yvette!

Because of you I also have made many other crafty friends, hosted a few Blog Hops, applied for a couple Design Teams, and I have entered numerous challenges. I truly love the world of crafting and all it has to offer. I have learned so much and there are plenty more techniques and folds I still need to try. My list has grown and I am hoping to cross off  a few this summer.

Since I want to share this special occasion with everyone...

I would like to offer some "Blogoversary Candy". Here is the first batch. It includes: stamps, ribbons, gems, rub-ons, gold letter stickers, and die-cuts.

When I reach 600 fellow crafters I plan to add another batch. I am currently only 11 away, so I am hoping I will be shopping some more tomorrow. If I reach 675 fellow crafters before the deadline I will add another batch (sounds like cookies, huh?). How exciting!

Please leave a comment on this posting which includes:

•  Your contact information. This should include your blog name (if you have one) and your e-mail address.
• What you like to see on a crafting site.  For example...I like picture tutorials. It is easier for me to follow along and create the project with the step-by-step instructions.
• If you have been following for some time, do you have a favorite posting, project, or hop that made an impression? 

Bonus: If you post about my special occasion on your site, leave a comment that you did for another chance to win. 

The deadline will be Thursday, July 12th. The winner will be posted July 13th.

Thank you again for making this a memorable year. I hope there are many more to come!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana   :)
