Die Cuttin' Diva Sketch ~ Happy Birthday with Mickey

Hello Diva Fans!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This Week's Challenge...

~ April's Sketch ~

Here is my Design Team project...

My daughter's birthday is next Monday and we bought her two three day Disney Park Hopper passes, so she can experience the new Avatar Land and see the night shows. She is going to take her boyfriend as her guest. 

I cut the Mickey head balloon on my Cameo. The papers are from The Stamps of Life, the supersized stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom, and the Wonky Oval is by My Favorite Things.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "April's Sketch" challenge. 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Trendy Twine ~ Happy New Year

Happy New Year's Eve!

Wow! It is the last day of 2016. Hard to believe that tomorrow is 2017 already. What a memorable year it was...lots of good and lots of losses. Looking forward to what 2017 brings!

Today the Trendy Twine Guest Designers are sharing  New Year's projects.

First, I cut the scalloped mat from MFT Blueprints 20 on my Cuttlebug. Then I used blue and metallic silver watercolor paints to create the background. Black and white paint was carefully splattered to keep near the center. I used my Cameo to cut the Happy New Year, which is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons. 

The balloons are by Miss Kate Cuttables and the Blue Berry Twine can be purchased at Annie's Paper Boutique...Home of Trendy Twine.

For the second one...the MFT stitched mat is from Blueprints 15 and this Happy New Year is by Miss Kate Cuttables. 

Same balloons as the first card in silver and black. The Blue Berry twine is perfect with the colors from the watercolor background.

Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Hope 2017 brings you happiness, good health, and LOTS of time to craft.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

It's Not to Late for Valentines at Little Scrap Pieces

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I can't believe so much time has past and how fast time flies by. I forgot to post my Little Scrap Pieces Design Team project with all that has been happening. School has occupied most of my time during the past two to three weeks since FCAT Writes is next week. It is a VERY stressful time! Many of you know that I teach, but I had to change grade levels this year after 10 years and writing is the primary focus (versus math and science that was in 5th grade ~ I was Science Lead Teacher for years and love math). The standardized test is next Tuesday, so wish my class luck! The highest score is a 6 and I am hoping to get one (or two or three).

 

Here is my Design Team project...

Valentine's Day

If you didn't post one or forgot like me, this challenge is perfect for you.

Materials:

K&Company paper

grey, black, and pink card stock

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ mouse

Sweethearts Cricut cartridge ~ balloons

twine

pink skittles by Carri

computer generated names

 

Hope you will join us at Little Scrap Pieces this week for our Valentine's Day challenge. Can't wait to see your project.

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Happy Birthday with Black and White

Good Evening Crafty Friends,

The kids went to Busch Gardens today with the grandparents, so my husband and I started a little holiday shopping. It sure is nice when you can cross a few names off "the list". Since it was still early when we returned home, I decided to check out the newest challenges. Wow! There are some great sketches and themes this week. I made a list of a few that I found appealing and got busy. I know there are more, but I will add them later tonight.

I left the balloon blank so it could be personalized. I can either add a name or the age of the recipient.

Materials:

Making Memories ~ Black and White Slice paper pad

Simply Charmed cartridge ~ balloon ~ p. 75 ~ cut at 3 1/2"

yellow cardstock

golden yellow lace

button

black and yellow flowers
