Santa's Coming Soon

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Hoping you are ready for the holidays since they are approaching quickly. Only a few more days then all the anticipation will be over.

 

I made this card to share at Little Scrap Pieces ~ Fun Friday Design Team. There is a new challenge that begins today and will last one week. The other Little Scrap Sisters have created festive Santa projects too. Be sure to check them out!

 

Challenge...Santa Baby

 I used Santa in his sleigh (3 1/4") from Jolly Holidays on this black 5X5 card base. I have been using them this week and I sure like being able to work on a bigger space.

I decided to use the balck and white gigham paper since all the background papers from Canvas Corp were red, white, and black. I tried solid colored cardstock, but Santa blended in to easily.

Santa's sleigh has a wood grain look and the rails are glossy like ice.

I used the Creative Cutter Room bow maker to create this double bow. I love how it looks! I trimmed the ends of the ribbon to make pennant points.

Other Challenges:
My Time to Craft ~ Santa
Bitten by the Bug 2 ~ Santa
 

Hope you will join us at Little Scrap Pieces this week and create your own Santa project.

 

Looking forward to your submissions this week.

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana

Busy as a Beaver

Good Morning Cricut Enthusiast,

 This card is perfect for how I have been feeling...extremely busy. That is...busy as a beaver. I can't believe how much I have been chomping away at 2012 and the new year will be here before you know it.

 

Today is my Exploring Cricut Design Team day.

My Exploring Cricut project...

A couple weeks ago when I was sick and then my son became ill, I missed a Canvas Corp project at Creative Cutter Room. I was very disappointed, but was glad I was able to use these awesome papers now. I want to give a BIG shout out to Canvas Corp. The papers are FABULOUS! If you get the opportunity to check out their link, please do so. I have seen their products at Hobby Lobby too.

 

I also found this sketch at I Heart 2 Stamp that I thought was perfect.

Materials:

Canvas Corp papers

kraft paper and brown card stock

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ beaver

brown and green craft thread

brown Martha Stewart flowers

green brads

green button

 

A new challenge with a great prize begins this Monday at Exploring Cricut. Hope you will join us.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
