1,000 Follower Giveaway

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Wow!

What does 1,000 mean to you?

Do you think of money? How about the number of texts you send every month? Maybe the number of crafty projects you have made? 1,000 means something different to me!

 

Can you believe I have almost reached that milestone of 1,000 followers? Both Carri, aka Abusybee, and I are super excited to offer this unique giveaway since we are sharing this special celebration together.

 

We have decided to team up again as we have many times in the past. We have planned hops, challenges, design teams, and shared many days supporting each other's crafty addiction. This time we want to celebrate 1,000 followers with some crafting goodies. Once we reach 1,000 (we need less than 10 followers each), we will pick two lucky people for prizes. I will pick a winner who will receive a prize pack from me and Carri will do the same. That means two people will get two prize packs!
 

 The Prize Packs:

My winner will receive...

  

 

Carri's winner will receive...

1. This giveaway will require you to be a follower of both our crafty blogs. 

Carson's Creations and Doubleclick

 

2. You must leave a comment on both our sites. Let us know what you like about our sites. Be sure to leave your contact information, so we can notify you if you win. 
 

3. You must post on your site, FB, Twitter, or any other social media and then come back to share that you have spread the word.

4. Answer the following question...What does 1,000 mean to you?

 
Once we both reach 1,000 followers, the winners will be randomly selected and announced on both our sites.
 

Hope you will help us celebrate this special milestone!

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana and Carri

Hoot Hoot...Owl Treat Bags and a Giveaway

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I have been admiring all those wonderful party favors over at Jaded Blossoms and decided I wanted to give them a try. I had some plastic bags I bought at the flea market when I did a craft show a while back, but did not use all of them. They are little bigger than what I want, but it works. I am going to visit the flea market this weekend to see if the lady is still there selling other sizes. I am hoping to find some smaller sizes, so I can make my students a special surprise before Winter Break.

 

Here is the toppper.

  I used Elegant Edges to create the frame by layering and folding it in half. Since there are so many choices on this cartridge, I can have a variety of tops for different themes/holidays.

Love this ribbon from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces! Thanks Karen!

Can't wait to fill this bag with some goodies! I was reading what an owl's diet consist of and I can say that it (rodents and insects) will NOT be stuffed in here. I think some candy might taste better!

Materials:

Canvas Corp papers

blue, yellow, and brown card stock

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ owl 3" and Hoot 1"

Elegant Edges ~ frame 5 1/2" & 4 1/2"

blue and yellow ribbon

brown button

cream embroidery floss

clear plastic bag (about 7" X 5")

 

Challenges:

Stuck On You Sketches ~ Owl Die-cut

Really Reasonable Ribbon ~ Anything but a Card w/ Ribbon

Paper Playtime ~ Anything Goes

How About a Giveaway?
Since it is Thanksgiving and I am very thankful for all my crafty friends...I want to share some treat bags. Just leave a comment and a way to get in touch with you by Sunday night. The winner will be announced Monday, November 26th.

Hope you had a great turkey day.
Georgiana



2nd Blogoversary Celebration

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.

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.

*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, please leave a comment that you did for another chance to win. 

*The deadline will be Thursday, July 5th. The winner (s) will be posted Friday, July 6th.

Thank you again for making this another spectacular year.

I hope there are many more to come! 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana :)

My Daughter's Challenge and the Winner

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is the day.

The day before we go back to school, the day after New Years, and the day to announce the winner of the Holiday Spirit Giveaway.

Yeah!

First, I have a card to share with you. My daughter wanted to challenge me to a card creation contest last night. She is gung-ho right now (especially since she won the Tuesday Morning Sketch), so I could not refuse. She was allowed to pick the sketch, in which she selected CPS (Card Positioning Systems) and then we would compare our final project.

Mine

Hers

The Sketch

What do you think?

I honestly have to say, I like hers better. : )

Now for the winner of the Holiday Spirit Giveaway.

Random.org selected #37...

Congratulations!

Send me your mailing address, so I can send your package. I hope you enjoy the crafting goodies.

Be sure to visit Die Cuttin' Divas tomorrow for the New Design Team Challenge/Hop.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Just a reminder that I am offering a 500 Follower Appreciation Giveway which is open until May 13th.

I have posted three of the goodies so far and the other two will be posted within the next day or two. You have a chance to win:

• a pair of embossing folders by Tim Holtz
• clear stamps (19 You & Me stamps)
• a Floral scrapbooking kit
• TBA
• TBA

Be sure to leave a comment on the enter here link. Post on your site for another chance to win.

I went to a Scrapbooking party today and worked on a couple layouts (instead of my usual cards) from our Epcot trip last weekend. All the pictures are from the Flower Festival that is held between April and May. I didn't have all my supplies with me, so I used what I brought along. I borrowed someone's font cartridge for the title.

(click on pictures to enlarge)

I need to finish the Hundred Acre sign since I needed brown and green paper.

I have a Minnie and Mickey page, Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, and Bambi to do next. I hope my daughter likes them when they are done.

Until tomorrow,

Georgiana

500 Follower Appreciation Giveaway

"Hello" to all my wonderful crafty friends and "Welcome" to those that may become mine. I would like to say "Thank You" for keeping in touch on a regular basis and offering the continual support that you do. 

As a token of my appreciation I am having a 500 Follower Giveaway. Here is one of the goodies that I will be offering. I will be posting four more crafty treats that will be included in this giveaway throughout the week. That means there will be a total of one goodie for each hundred followers (five crafty treats). I will update and add the pictures to this post, so all the information stays in one location.

Blue and Silver embellishments

How to participate:

1. I would love for everyone to have a chance to win; therefore, I need you to leave a comment on this post and a way to get in touch with you. I prefer you leave both your site name (if you have one) and your e-mail.

2. Tell me the best type of prize that you have seen or won. I love to win Cricut Cartridges, but not everyone uses the die-cutting machine. I like embellishments because every type of crafter can use them. I think the best is a gift card so you can pick what you want or get what you need. Share what you think! 

3. I hope that you will share with others and post on your site or sidebar. If you do, please let me know by leaving another comment. That will increase your chance of winning one of the goodies. 

4. Random.org will select the winners so everyone has an opportunity.

I will keep this open until Friday, May 13th and announce the 5 winners on Saturday, May 14th. If I gain another 100 followers, I will throw in another goodie just as a token of how much I truly love my crafty friends!

Stay creative and visit often,

Georgiana 

Name the Sentiment Giveaway

Hello All My Crafty Friends!  

I made this lovely purple tri-fold card, but I am having a difficult time deciding if it should be a birthday or a Mother's Day card. My full-time teaching intern and a fellow (4th grade) teacher have a birthday this week, so I was thinking of them originally as I was making the card. Then I thought...oooh..it would be perfect for Mother's Day too.

Since I am unable to choose which special day this card should be for, I am going to let you decide.  Everyone that leaves a comment stating which occasion will be eligible for the giveaway of goodies. Of course, the goodies (brads, buttons, ribbon, etc.) will be purple just like the card.

I used the following materials:

 Anna Griffin papers

purple and cream cardstock

purple paper flowers, ribbon, buttons, sparkle gems, and beads

purple and cream craft thread

purple chalk

Please leave a comment stating Happy Birthday or Happy Mother's Day and I will select one lucky person by using random.org. I will announce the winner in the evening on Wednesday, April 20th. 

I am also going to submit my card into the following challenges:

Really Reasonable Ribbon's Rambling ~ violets, plums, lilacs and ribbon

Paper Cutz Challenge ~ buttons and bows

Paper Romance ~ paper flowers

The Paper Variety ~ flowers

Pals Paper Arts ~ flowers

2 Sisters Challenge ~ BINGO board (ribbon, pearls/gems, flowers)

Looking forward to getting your input.

Georgiana

Winter Break Ends With a Giveaway

Hello Everyone!  Welcome! 

I am glad you are visiting today. Thank you for returning. I love reading your comments, sharing with others, and meeting new people. 

I have been off for two weeks and I must return to 5th grade tomorrow. I have enjoyed my time tremendously and am sad to see Winter Break is over, but I know I must go back to get the students ready for FCAT. I thought what better way to end this vacation than with a giveaway.  I know I love the chance to win free goodies.

 I am offering an Indie Art cartridge and embellishments (ribbon, stickers, gems, etc. which are not pictured). 

To enter you must share what your dream vacation is or what was the best vacation you have ever taken. For me...I would love to go to Europe and travel to all the historic sites. My husband said when my daughter turns 16 (in about 3 1/2 years) we may go. Sounds to good to be true, but I am counting down the days! : )

Be sure to leave a way for me to get in touch with you. I would love for you to post on your site. If you do, leave another comment for an additional chance to win. (I also want to be able to visit you!)

I will announce the winner Saturday, January 8th.

Good Luck!

Enjoy your crafting time...I need to make sure my lesson plans are ready for tomorrow. I still have to finish Math and Science. We are going to be working on fractions and space. Lots of FUN! I hope the students are as excited as I am. There is so much you can do and fractions are definitely a life skill. There is that teacher in me coming out again!

Take Care,

Georgiana : ) 

Bag of Treat Giveaway

Do you remember when you were a kid and you went trick or treating? Your bag would be filled with all type of goodies and you couldn't wait until you dumped it out to rummage through it all. I have decided to use that everlasting tradition for this giveaway.

I am super excited to be able to offer this giveaway to the followers of my blog. It was not that long ago, The Halloween Blog Hop, that I actually exceeded 200 fellow crafters. Thank you for visiting and posting your wonderful comments!

I am offering...a bag of treats that you will get to sift through and be part of the kiddie excitement again. You just never know what you are going to find in your loot bag which makes it more thrilling.

• Please leave a comment and a way to get in touch with you.
• I would appreciate you posting on your site and sharing that treats are being offered. Be sure to post again that you did for another chance to win.

I will announce the winner on....Monday, November 1st.

Thank you for leaving all the wonderful comments. I truly appreciate your kindness.

Happy Halloween,

Georgiana

What is the Birthday Fairy Bringing... A Giveaway?

Happy Birthday!
A Challenge and A Giveaway

Wow! I can't believe the Birthday Fairy will be coming soon. I am extremely excited...My husband bought my present about a month or so ago and has tried to hide it, he has taken the package to work, he has threatened to return it...all so it would stay a surprise. He thinks I am going to try and sneak a peek (I wonder what gave him that idea!) Well, my birthday is next week, so time is almost up!

He suggested I make my own birthday card since I like to stay up late and make so many others. I decided I would, so I could get what I like. Actually, it was just another excuse to make a card. I also found two challenges to make my card fit. The first challenge is the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot. It is their 2nd birthday and you had to include two layers. I included two of everything...2 cards, 2 layers, 2 colors, 2 ribbons, 2 tags, 2 embossing folders, and 2 new techniques. The second challenge is Paper Cutz Challenge #8 which is Tags.

My birthday card has my favorite colors, a new punch that I weaved ribbon through (this was new for me), and I even tried to sew again on the inside. I think the right side looks pretty straight, but I am definitely not ready to sew any school clothes yet!

I made it into a gift card holder (hint, hint, hint). I folded the card flap upward and sewed the sides. I attached a strip of pattern paper and a tag with a brown flower brad. The tag reads "Celebrate". I wonder if I can get 2 gift cards since everything else is in 2's?!?!?!

Our school guidance counselor's birthday is this month, so I thought I would make her a card too.

In the mean time (while I am waiting patiently), I want to celebrate with YOU! I am offering a Birthday Fairy surprise...a brand new, unopened Cricut cartridge. Now the title is a surprise. If I have to wait I thought it would be fun for you too.

Which cartridge could it be?????

I am also going to include a few surprise embellishments too. Sort of like... the icing on the cake. Yummy!

Here are some birthday rules...
1. Please be a follower and leave a comment on this posting.
2. If you leave a message or picture on your site about this giveaway, please post another comment saying so with the link (for another chance). Remember, I want to take a peek.

The surprise title is will be revealed on my birthday, September 22nd, and the winner will be announced on September 23.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana : )
