Share your Craft Space Challenge Reminder

Hello Crafty Friends,

Wow, it's Wednesday already! What a week! Today I am sharing my craft space again to remind you to stop by Carri's at DoubleClick for our blog hop/challenge. The new design team is sharing their craft space before we begin weekly crafting challenges.

 Here is a collage of my craft space...

With limited space I have to keep my supplies organized...that is important! Finding what you need and knowing where to look, so you can spend more time creating! 

(Click to enlarge photo)

I have a small table, but I do keep both my die-cutting machines and tools readily available. 

Now it is your turn! If you haven't shared yet, what are you waiting for. Don't worry...there is no judging! We just want to see what works for you and share ideas that others can use!

Blog Candy...

Rules to be entered for the DoubleClick blog candy: 
Must be a follower of all blogs in the hop  (there are 6)
Leave a comment on all design team members posts showing their craft space
Come back here and tell me that you did!

Happy Blogoversary to Carson's Creations

It is hard to believe that it has been one year since I started this site. I have to thank my friend, Yvette, for getting me hooked on Cricut. She pushed me to get my first Expression and now she probably thinks "Oh my!" Last summer, we sat and talked on the phone to figure out how to start our blogs, which backgrounds would look the best, who we should follow, and then we would call, e-mail or text each other the newest challenges we should enter.

Thank You Yvette!

Because of you I also have made many other crafty friends, hosted a few Blog Hops, applied for a couple Design Teams, and I have entered numerous challenges. I truly love the world of crafting and all it has to offer. I have learned so much and there are plenty more techniques and folds I still need to try. My list has grown and I am hoping to cross off  a few this summer.

Since I want to share this special occasion with everyone...

I would like to offer some "Blogoversary Candy". Here is the first batch. It includes: stamps, ribbons, gems, rub-ons, gold letter stickers, and die-cuts.

When I reach 600 fellow crafters I plan to add another batch. I am currently only 11 away, so I am hoping I will be shopping some more tomorrow. If I reach 675 fellow crafters before the deadline I will add another batch (sounds like cookies, huh?). How exciting!

Please leave a comment on this posting which includes:

•  Your contact information. This should include your blog name (if you have one) and your e-mail address.
• What you like to see on a crafting site.  For example...I like picture tutorials. It is easier for me to follow along and create the project with the step-by-step instructions.
• If you have been following for some time, do you have a favorite posting, project, or hop that made an impression? 

Bonus: If you post about my special occasion on your site, leave a comment that you did for another chance to win. 

The deadline will be Thursday, July 12th. The winner will be posted July 13th.

Thank you again for making this a memorable year. I hope there are many more to come!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana   :)

   

My Pink Stamper Challenge #2 and Giveaway Update!

Happy Mother's Day

Today was a fabulous day. My husband made french toast for breakfast, we went to the Olive Garden for lunch, and then we went to the movies to see Thor. Now I am at home crafting. Since I wasn't able to make all of the National Scrapbooking Day challenges for My Pink Stamper yesterday, I thought I would try another one or two before going back to school tomorrow.

Kraft Cardstock

I used the Country Life cartridge to cut the apron (3") and sentiment (1").

K&Company paper ~ Roam mat pad

kraft paper for base and shadows

brown ribbon, buttons, and ink

I am also adding my last prize for the 500 Follower Appreciation Giveaway.

I have to send a huge THANK YOU to auctionalysis at eBay for donating this cartridge. They have amazing prices and super fast shipping. PLEASE check them out! I am very appreciative of their generosity and would love to send a few folks their way.

Be sure to enter for your chance to win one of the 5 prizes. If I reach 600 followers before Friday the 13th, I will add another goodie. Please spread the word! I am very eager to make some new crafty friends.

Next weekend Cheryl from Cards by CG and I will hosting a Bake Sale Blog Hop with 7 other designers. Be sure to visit for FABULOUS projects and awesome goodies. I will be giving away another Cricut cartridge. This one was kindly donated by Cricut Direct.com. It absolutely amazes me how generous the crafting world can be. Thank you again!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.

Until next time,

Georgiana
