Paper Play Sketches #34

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by.  Today I am sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches. Great way to combine a few challenges since you can choose any colors, theme, sentiment, etc.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

I cut this cherry heart from SVG Cuts on my Cameo. It is part of 24 Valentines Kit...that could be one for each student with no duplicates. Be sure to check out all of the choices.

The stamped sentiment is by Whimsical Designs.

The heart and the cherries were popped up on foam squares to add some dimension.

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,

Valentine Party with Treats

Happy Friday!

We had our Valentine party at school today and what fun it was. We celebrated with a cookie decorating party. The students had heart shaped sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles, and candies. Lots of Valentines were traded too.

These are the treats I made for my student. I used pink and white polka paper bags by Recollection and filled them with Valentine candy corn. The students got a kick out the candy. Had no idea they made candy corn for other holidays.

I used the heart and lock file from SVG Cuts, which is part of the 24 Valentines SVG kits. The stamped sentiment is from a retired set by K. Andrews.

The owl plant holder was a gift from one of my students. Isn't it cute?!?!

Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy any Valentine plans you may have.

Stay Creative,

Happy 21st Birthday Ashley!

Welcome to Day 2 of Ashley's 21st Birthday Blog Hop!

We are so glad you could join us! If you've come from Erica's blog, you're in the right place! If you have just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Ashley at Made Especially For You.

This weekend we are celebrating Ashley's 21st Birthday with some fun and creative, birthday/alcohol-themed projects! It's not 21 without a drink or two, right?!

 

When Ashley asked me to join this hop I was thrilled, BUT I had no idea she was only going to be 21. How exciting! Oh to be young again! I do not remember too much about 21, except I was still in college and planning to get married. Seems so long ago!  

  

For Ashley's Birthday I made... a scrumptious looking pink martini for her first birthday drink...remember no drinking and driving! Me...no need to worry...mine would be alcohol-free...I don't drink unless it is Coke Zero (or milk).

I had no idea that martinis came in different colors since I don't drink. They even have blue, green, and yellow.

 A little glitter, a stick pin, and some pink crinkle ribbon

Other Materials:

Recollection paper

white, red, pink, and silver card stock

My Craft Spot stamp

pink ink

Life is Good with 3 Girl JAM

Happy Friday Everyone!

 

Today is my 3 Girl JAM design team day and I just had to make a candy treat since "Life is Good". School is good, family is good, my pup has recovered so she is good, everything is good! I even went to photography class last night and two ladies helped me understand something about ISO...that is good! Now I need to experiment with my photos this weekend. Photo light box should be here by the beginning of next week too! Life is Good!

 

Here is my candy treat... 

I made a cute tag for the front of my clear container while incorporating this month's color challenge . I used the Irish pup from SVG Cuts ~ Charm Chance.

This is 3 Girl JAM ribbon...the green crinkle ribbon is from the Ribbon Candy Bundle. I also added Peacock twine and a button around the cap. Don't forget if you want to purchase your own to use my code GC10 for a discount. A new color bundle was just released so be sure to check it out!

The tiny 1" tag was cut from Plantin Schoolbook and the stamp is from My Craft Spot. 

I found these plastic containers at Michaels on clearance for 79 cents. Even though they say they are for sand art, they are the perfect size for small treats like the chocolate Sixlets I used. Unfortunately, I can't share them with my pup...sorry Molly! : )

Other Materials:

green, white, brown, and black card stock

green button

Peacock twine

green glitter glue

green ink

 

Hope you will join us at 3 Girl JAM for March's challenge...

March 1st - March 28th

An InLinkz Link-up

Bringing a Little Luck with Some Gold

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend...I have been busy like usual. Seems like there is never enough time to do everything, but I feel good about what I have accomplished so far.

A fellow teacher friend asked me to give her some ideas on how to improve the low morale at her school and I said to let them know you appreciate what they do each day. Teaching is a challenging job that is constantly being scrutinized. Demands are high and funding is low.

Hoping these bring a little happiness...

I remembered I bought this file, Chance and Charm, with a gift card that I won from SVGCuts. I was super excited because I just ordered my Cameo and it hadn't even arrived, but I was planning ahead for upcoming holidays. So glad I have it! : )

 I made ten black pots and then decorated each one with various green and gold papers. Gold and green gems add a bit of sparkle to the bow and clovers. Scraps of green and gold cardstock were cut and crimped for a filler.

 Now she can show them that they are all worth a pot of gold. Plus a few Rolos for an extra treat! Teachers LOVE chocolate too!

Challenges:

Little Red Wagon ~ Anything but a Card

Simply Create Too ~ St. Patrick's Day

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Linky Party 

Here are the files that are included in Chance and Charm...

Looking forward to making that hot air balloon and pup card. Speaking of pup...my Molly had her stitches removed yesterday and she can resume normal activity. Yippee!

Hope you have a great day. I am off to see the new Michaels...they moved to a different location about two blocks away. Hope they have some new supplies.

Stay Creative,
