Sending Thanks with a Dandelion Fluff

Happy Wednesday! 

It's storming outside, which means it is a good reason to stay in the craft room. Time to try something new, maybe watch a video, or find a free class on Scrapbook.com. Options!

It is also  Paper Play Sketches Day!

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

I have been thinking about what I need to add to my stash of cards...birthday and thank you topped the list. I never have enough for family, friends, or co-workers since I don't typically plan ahead. I'd like to be able to surprise more people with some happy mail too.

The paper stack is "Park Benches" by Fancy Pants and the dandelion fluff die is by Elizabeth Craft Designs. The mini sentiment is an oldie by My Pink Stamper, the twine was in my stash, and the Cloudy blue skittles are by Carri at DoubleClick.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketches challenge. Be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see how they interpreted the sketch.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Birthday Macaron

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have been able to sit and create a few projects during the past two days and what a great feeling it has been. At first I was worried that I would get the new desk dirty and I was afraid to touch anything, but that feeling quickly faded once I started. Shortly later my hubby asked me if I liked my room and I said, "YES!"

I found some wall decor at Hobby Lobby, purchased the last four kraft photo boxes for my cube, hubby put that valance up, and I created a couple blue bouquets of flowers. Just waiting for UPS to deliver my Michaels storage cart and marker cubes.

I chatted with Carri of DoubleClick this afternoon and we decided to make a birthday project to enter some challenges. I miss those days when we would have so much more time to craft together.

I found this die at the Orlando Scrapbook Expo. It is by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I had never heard of the company before, but I was quickly impressed with the variety of dies, the demonstrations, and the kindness of the staff at the booth. I used Milled Lavendar Distress Ink to color the macaron. I didn't have any micro glitter (on the list now), so I used glitter glue which worked fine.  The itty bitty stamp is an oldie by My Pink Stamper.

I used some purple glitter skittles by DoubleClick Skittles.
