Back to School at Die Cuttin' Divas

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations! I am glad you are stopping by to see what I have been creating this week. I am trying to balance school, home, and crafting again and before long I will have a nice routine. Until then...I have to have patience!

Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Back to School ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I think a nerdy apple is very appropriate for the first week of school. I got my glasses back in January and have to wear them all the time. I don't mind though becuase I think it makes the teacher look even smarter. I have a couple students that need to wear glasses and don't like to, so it is my way of encouraging them to keep them on.

The nerdy apple is by SVG Cutting Files ~ Kawaii Nerdy School.

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ School Rules set.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Back to School" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Write On with Paper Play Sketches

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...
We have a BIG state mandated writing test coming up at the end of February and we have been practicing our writing and how to cite sources within our paper. When I saw this pencil it made me think of my students. I only made one of these cards (which I may give to a co-worker), but I thought I should make little note cards for each student and write a motivation quote to each of them. Of course, I would omit the bow for the boys. : )

The pencil is by SVG Cutting Files ~ Kawaii Nerdy School set. The sentiment came from an old stamp set ~ Pink by Design. 

Other Challenges: 
Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes
Happy Little Stamper ~ Anything Goes with Dies

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.

Paper Play Sketches 30 ~ Are You Feeling Nerdy?

Hello Crafty Friends,

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...

After going to the eye doctor's a few weeks ago and learned that I will need to wear glasses all the time (rather than wear just my readers), I decided to get a little nerdy. 

This chick is by Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. I removed the lenses and added the big wiggly eyes to make him nerdy instead of cool looking. The sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ We Go Together Like...stamp set.

Other Materials:

The Stamp of Life pattern papers

yellow, red, black, white, and orange card stock

My Favorite Things dies ~ Fishtail and stitched circle

Versafine Onyx Black ink

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.

Grateful Greetings

Hello Everyone,

Happy Monday! It's a new week and so much is going on in the next month. Lots of hops, card swaps, holidays, etc. It's a great time to be crafty and share with each other!

I had an urge to make a project with a squirrel. Not sure why, but I am glad I did...especially since he is nerdy! I love everything nerdy with glasses. Maybe because I have to wear mine (almost) all the time and can barely read the small print without them.

The squirrel  file is called Acorn Peeker and I cut it on my Cameo. All the edges were inked in brown.

The stamped sentiment is by Bug Bites ~ Autumn Splendor set and the papers are from Target's dollar spot...one of the deals I got this weekend. The paper pad was only 30 cents.

Have a fabulous day!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
