Witching You Tons of Treats

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by. We have Trail Day at school, which is an entire day of collaboration for my grade level while the students travel to special areas. They have art, music, media, STEM, and computer time. Hoping to get lots accomplished as they are learning through fun activities!  Today I am also sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

I thought I'd make another Halloween card and the gold and black paper by Recollections called out to me.  I wish I knew who the witch's hat die cut was by...I couldn't find which company it was by in my collection. Anyone know? 

This stamped sentiment is by Inky Antics. I bought the Halloween Witch stamp set at Michaels last year. Didn't see much of a selection this year, but I am glad I had this one!

Be sure to visit  so you can see the other Design Team's creations. 

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketch challenge.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Pastel Colors at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to another Die Cuttin' Diva challenge.

This week's challenge...Pastel Colors

The colors of this family are usually described as "soothing", "soft", "near neutral", "milky", "washed out", "desaturated", lacking strong chromatic content. No matter how you describe the colors I love how they look. The colors blend together so well and can be used for any theme, especially Easter since it is approaching quickly.

Here is my DT project...

A feminine birthday card for anyone ready to have a party.

Sorry the picture isn't brighter. I was trying to be quick and used the old camera without the lightbox. I can see a difference in the quality of my pictures now!  Maybe I did learn something from my photography class! Lesson learned! Next time, make time to take better pictures.

Daffodil crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM with a pink brad wrapped around the center of the bow. Be sure to check out the special this month! Let Julie know I sent you over! :)

This party hat was cut from an oldie, but goodie...Celebration Cricut cartridge. The die-cuts are simple, so you can choose just the right color paper and add embellishments to fancy them up. 

Other Materials:

My Mind's Eye papers

yellow card stock

Spun Sugar distressing ink by Tim Holtz

pink pearls

Happy Birthday stamp

black ink

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our Pastel Colors challenge.

Stay Creative,
