Hurry! Go Find a Basket

Hello Everyone,

It's Hump Day...otherwise known as Wednesday. 

It is our last full day of this school year and we have planned some Summer Fun activities. The students need to stay busy to prevent chaos, so I am doing a Sunglass project and the other two teachers are making ice cream and 5th grade reflection wheels. Tomorrow is a Picnic at the Park. 

The challenge at Craftaholics R Us also begins today.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Basket ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I searched through my Cameo's svg library for baskets and mostly Easter ones popped up. I thought about choosing one and filling it with flowers, but I didn't like how it looked. THEN, I found this cutie! I am much happier with this picnic pup by KaDoodle Bug Designs.

The pattern papers are from My Favorite Things and the stamped sentiment is by Lawn Fawn ~ Scripty Sayings.

I inked all the edges of the pup with Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distress ink. The red gems are from my stash...evens pups need a little bling.

I am sending this card to my daughter at college along with a Publix gift certificate. I may not be able to send a picnic basket filled with food, but I can still feed her another way.

Hope you will join us at Craftaholics R Us this week for our "Basket" challenge. Be sure to check out the other crafty creations.

Stay Creative,

Be My Pal...Always

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am on Fall/Thanksgiving Break this week (Yippee) and I am really enjoying myself already. This is the first time we have had all week off and I sure am glad since I have been so involved with school this year. I went to MFT on Saturday, took a card class with Pam, and bought a bunch of new stamps and dies. Now I am playing with them. Once day (sooner than later) I am going to have to work on the camera/lighting adjustments. I need to figure out how to get bright, crisp pictures again with these new LED lights. Any suggestions?!?!

Today's project...

I wanted to join a challenge at My Favorite Things, so I decided to give the sketch a try.

This week's sketch from My Favorite Things.

I used MFT Tiny Checks paper, Happy Pawlidays puppy stamp, and Polar Pals stamped sentiment. I used Illustrator markers by Spectrum Noir (Poppy, Sorbet, Sandstone, and Golden Brown). I added some Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to the white part of Santa's hat.

 Other Materials:

white cardstock

Versafine Onyx Black ink

MFT ~ Square Frames

MFT ~ Blueprints 15 and 27

red self-adhesive pearls

Be sure to come back tomorrow for Die Cuttin' Diva's weekly challenge. I have a project to share! It has been way too long and I am thrilled to be able to participate again.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Boo! It's Almost Halloween!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Monday! Today we have Teacher In-Service Day and the students are enjoying some time off. Yes, I am a little jealous! I should have taken the day off too, so I could enjoy some time with my pup...just like this one! Well, I don't actually dress up my dog for Halloween, but she still is a cutie. : )

I used the Chibi Puppy Witch by SVG Cutting Files and cut the pieces on my Cameo. The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Halloween Treats 2 set. The little pennant is by We R Memory Keepers ~ 7 piece metal die set from Amazon.

Classic Halloween colors to add a little fright to the night.

I used the following sketch from Sunday Stamps.

This little Dracula is a sticker I found in my stash. I stamped the inside with  "Happy Fright Night" ~ Jaded Blossom Halloween Treats 2 set. 

Hoping to get some new, fresh ideas from training today...staying positive! Looking forward to after school though, so I can finish a couple projects I have on the craft table!

Have a fabulous day!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

•  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
