Way to Go!

Hello Crafty Friends,

As Hurricane Irma gets closer to the Florida penisula and our school district is closed for a long weeknd so the shelters can open, I am home hoping for the best. I have been watching the news every day this week and paying very close attention to the predicted paths since there is a good chance the storm could pass right over us as a Category 3 or 4. My husband has been scheduled to work at one of the shelters, so we can only hope nothing major happens.

Onto a more upbeat topic...it is my day to share at Miss Kate Cuttables. 

 Here is my Design Team project...

My class started using a computer program by Achieve3000. I have a few students that are already excelling and earning LOTS of points. Yesterday one of my students earned "World Leader" and the day before that he was "Florida Leader", so I made him a surprise postcard.

I think this smiling tablet by Miss Kate Cuttables will be a perfect reward. It was SUPER easy to make, so I may create some more since I am going to be home for a few days.

The stamped sentiment is a combination of two clear acrylic stamps. The top one is Scripty Sayings by Lawn Fawn and the bottom one is by Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Be sure to stop by Miss Kate Cuttables for your freebie...one every week.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana 

It's Your Wedding Day at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for ALL the kind words in regards to the camera. I was thinking about asking for a new one for my birthday or Christmas, but I am going to wait and see what happens. Especially after going to the dentist this morning and unexpectedly being told I need a crown (that is better than a root canal). Good thing we have dental insurance, which will cover some of it (of course, that cuts into my crafty spending ~ bummer).

 The new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva starts today.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Wedding or Anniversary ~

Here is my Design Team project...

This is the photo I was trying to get a better picture of because I wanted to show the bright white and vellum with the silver. Just try to use your imagination!  I cut the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 and the Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame with my Cuttlebug.

The "Amanda" bride is by Rubbernecker Stamps, It was one I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo (it is on sale for 50% 0ff if you are interested). I also thought you might be able to add just a splash of pink or red watercolor to the bouquet, but I decided to save that for next time.

I found the congratulations stamp in my stash...it is an oldie by Inkadinkadoo. I really like the font. A couple pearls were added in each corner.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Wedding or Anniversary" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Congrats My Craft Spot Winner!

Welcome Back Crafty  Friends,

 

I haven't been around for the past few days since I have been sick. I do not get sick often, but when I do...I do it right. I decided after 3 days of high fever, coughing, not eating or drinking for days, then the intense feeling that someone was laying a pile of bricks on my chest was enough. I went to the doctors yesterday and left with 3 scripts and a diagnosis of bronchitis. Today has been the first full day of meds (5 different types total) and I am starting to feel better...in between the coughing! So glad it is the beginning of Winter Break, so I still have time to recuperate and enjoy.  

 

Today I would like to announce the winner from my Guest Designer post at My Craft Spot. THANK YOU everyone for the kind words you left. I sure do love to make treats for my students and co-workers. Before making the announcement here is one more card using the Metal Tiny Tag Dies (I made it Thursday night just before I got sick.). They are AWESOME! 

This card was made at a co-workers request for her neighbor who just graduated from nursing school.

 The medical pieces were cut from Everyday Paper Dolls (p. 60) at 5 1/2".

Tiny Tags Metal Dies ~ $15.99

 

 

The winner of one stamp set from My Craft Spot is...

Creative M ~ Migdalia

Congratulations!

Send me an e-mail and I will forward your information to Kimberly.

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana
