Thankful for Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to the Thankful for Fall Blog Hop!

This hop is all about the beauty of Fall and being thankful for what we do have. Enjoy the creativity, get inspired, share some crafty love, and then randomly thank some one.

There are nine stops and you won't want to miss any of them! I am the first, Carson's Creations. There is also a complete line-up at the end of this post just in case you need it.

What would a hop be without Blog Candy?!?! Since each of use are thankful for our crafty friends, each blog has a bit of candy that needs to be won. Thank goodness for candy!

Here's How:

Be sure to be a FOLLOWER and COMMENT on each blog.

If you are a follower, your comment could be randomly drawn to win some fantastic prizes! Read each blog post carefully to see what is being offered at each stop along the way!

Here is my project:

After making my students those pretzels and M&M treats last week, they wanted more. Since I am very thankful for the hard working class that I have this year, I made them another surprise. 1 x 8" skinny bag treats filled with milk chocolate M & Ms.

I used Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge to cut the tags at 1 1/2".

I cut the pumpkins on my Cameo. The two-sided pattern paper made it easy to change the look of the pumpkins. The brown tins came from the dollar spot at Target.

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Let's Talk Turkey stamp set. Brown polka dot ribbon is from Michaels.

This is the prize being offered on my page:

A surprise package of crafting goodies

Fabulous Fall Blog Hop ~ Day 3

Welcome Back for Day 3 of our Fabulous Fall Blog Hop. I would like to say "Thank You" to each and every one for either returning or becoming a new follower. I hope that you have seen a project or two that you have enjoyed or found one to try on your own.

Autumn Has Arrived

I must say that I do not typically use the card feature on any of the Cricut cartridges because I like to create my own designs, but I thought I would try this one time. I used the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and selected the Tree on p. 47 since it went with this leaf paper I bought a couple weeks ago while Joann's had it on sale for 5 pieces for $1.00.

I have to say...I like it! You must definitely add some pizzazz to personalize the cut-out, but the feature has lots of potential. Who knew? I will reconsider using some of the other cards too.

This card was cut on 12 X 12 paper ~ fit to size which was 5 1/2". Autumn was cut at 3" from the same cartridge ~ p. 42. I added orange gems in the corners and brown ribbon around the trunk.

Inside of the card has two pieces of layered papers and leaves in each corner.

Another goodie is being added today...remember to leave a comment each day for the greatest chance of winning. The winner will be announced Monday, November 8th.

Be sure to hop on over to Star for the next Fall project.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana : )

Fabulous Fall Blog Hop ~ Day 2

Welcome Back for another day of projects. I am extremely excited that you have returned. After making all those Fall Festival Bags, I was glad to make this card.

Here is the card in two parts before I attached them together. I used yellow and brown cardstock by core'dinations. The leaves are felt (I love how they feel!). The turkey was cut at 2 " from the Thanksgiving cartridge.

I have attached the two pieces together.

This is what the outside of the card looks like after the two pieces have been adhered together, but before it has been decorated.

Here is the card assembled and adhered together. A brown plaid ribbon sits on the front.

Today I am adding another piece to the candy goodie giveaway.

Be sure to leave a comment and a way to reach you for a chance to win the fall goodies...so far we have had a pink CGULL tool kit and now stickers and ribbon. I will post one last prize tomorrow.

Be sure to head over to Star for another Fall project.

Take Care,

Georgiana

Fabulous Fall Blog Hop ~ Day 1

Welcome

I am very happy that you have decided to join the Fabulous Fall Blog Hop which has been coordinated by Cheryl at CG Cards.

Sample Hanging Tag

Our school's Annual Fall Festival is tonight ~ Friday, November 5th, so I thought this would be the perfect project for both occasions (The Fall Blog Hop and the school's Annual Fall Festival). I used just my scraps to create sets of cards/tags for the students. Students will be able to select a baggie that has numerous pieces and they will get to create a project for either 2 or 3 tickets (still trying to decide).

First, I used my paper trimmer to cut many squares in various colors (solids and decorative papers).

Then I cut numerous 1" - 2" images from various cartridges. A few cartridges that I used were CampOut, Potpourri Basket, Independence Day, Mini Monsters, and Walk in My Garden.

Each packet contains a piece of ribbon or cord for hanging.

I have created about 75 bags.

Please come back on Saturday and Sunday for more fall related projects and another chance to win some goodies. I will announce a prize each day, but leave a comment on all three postings to increase your chance of winning...Good Luck!
