Carson's Cards for Cancer Update

Happy Saturday!

I wanted to share a post from Facebook...

Kelsey and I want to "THANK" everyone that has contributed to the Carson's Cards for Cancer. During the past week we have had an overwhelming response and we are truly appreciative for ALL the support. Our goal was to raise $707 (the co-pay for just one cancer medicine) and we are currently at $532.50. We are now making thank you (Kristen, I am working on yours) and New Years cards and we can make birthday cards/tags too. THANK YOU again! Denny's next treatment is Christmas Eve and we are planning to surprise him then. Hopefully this will add a little cheer to his day.

Here are a few of the most recent cards we have created...

 

  

 

Thank you again for all your support!

Happy Holidays,

Holiday Greetings at Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday!

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

This Week's Challenge...

~ Holidays ~

Here is my Design Team project...

These deer from MFT are the cutest.

The sentiment is from MFT and it was cut in red with my Cuttlebug.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Happy Holidays" challenge. The design team is feeling quite festive with their inspiration, so be sure to check them out.

Stay Creative,

Why Did the Reindeer Cross the Road?

Hello Diva Fans,

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas, which actually answers my question...Why did the reindeer cross the road? What do you think? To get to the other side, to go find a hunky reindeer, or maybe to go shopping?

This Week's Challenge...

Santa or Reindeer

Here is my Design Team project...

The reindeer crossed the road to get to Santa and his sleigh. Unless you believe that commercial you see on TV with Santa and his Mercedes, reindeer still work with Santa.

I used a file from Miss Kate Cuttables for this cute girl reindeer.

I added Cherry glitter glue to her bow, a few stitched trees by MFT, clear Wink of Stella for the sparkling snow, and Recollections pattern paper for the background. 

The sentiment is by Whimsical Designs ~ Snow Much Fun stamp set. I used Archival Ink by Ranger ~ Potting Soil.

I thought both reindeer were cute, which is why I made the two. I just couldn't decide on one.

Another Miss Kate Cuttables girl reindeer file.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Santa or Reindeer" challenge. The other design team members did an amazing job preparing for Santa's visit.

Happy Holidays!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this terrific Tuesday.  Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe

Here is my Design Team project...

A couple treat bags (the white paper bags are from Dollar Tree - 12 pack) that can be stuffed with a gift card, candy, hand sanitizer, etc. I leave them empty until I know who the recipient is going to be since each person has different wants. I have some friends that can't eat chocolate and others that prefer to buy their own gift. 

This is the Peeking Reindeer from Miss Kate Cuttables.

The stamped sentiment on the tag is from the Mistletoe set by My Craft Spot.

This is the Santa from My Scrap Chick.

The stamped sentiment on the tag is from the Vintage Christmas set by Fiskars.

Other Challenges:

That Craft Place ~ Christmas 

Come an d Get It ~ Anything Goes Christmas

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

DL.Art ~ December Linky

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Christmas Joy

Scrappy Mom Stamps ~ Use a Tag

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe" challenge. The other design team members did a fantastic job with this one. Be sure to check out the variety!

Thanks for stopping by!

Season's Greetings

Hi!

Welcome back. What do you think of my new look? I decided to change it. A bright, colorful background for a new year. I hope next year is just as good at 2011, if not better. I sure have enjoyed meeting and sharing with my crafty friends.

Late last night I worked on a few cards and then this morning I went to a teacher friend's house to do some Science planning. Can you believe we are on Winter Break, but we are still  "working"? We are going to meet again next week to add a few more lessons on electrical energy. I sure do like planning with a friend rather than having to come up with lessons for 5 subjects alone.

Here are my newest cards...

Racing Reindeer

Materials:

K&Company paper ~ Elizabeth BownD                           Martha Stewart ribbon

Jolly Holidays cartridge ~ reindeer

white snowflake brads

white glitter

silver gems

wiggly eyes

Challenges:

Wee Memories ~ Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesdays ~ Anything Goes

It's a White Winter Wonderland

This is the same card, but I took two pictures since the flash was bouncing off the shimmering white paper. I just bought this new stamp and ink pad on my way back from Georgia. I am not an avid stamper, but I sure do like how these two worked together. The Inkadinkado tree stamp was purchased at Michaels on clearnace for $2.99 (regularly priced $10.99) and the Martha Stewart Copper ink pad I purchased at Marshalls for only $1.99. I added burgundy ribbon (70% off at Michaels), gems, and Season's Greeetings.

Challenges:

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Winter Holiday

Paper Playtime ~ Anything Goes with a Sentiment

City Crafter Challenge ~ Winter White

Alphabet Challenge ~ W for White Christmas

Party Time Tuesday's ~ Use Ribbon

The Giving Tree

I have made this tree before, but I changed to non-traditional colors. Who would have thought black would be appropriate for the holidays? I sure do like the combination (my son did too, which puts a smile on my face).

Materials:

Colorbok paper pad ~ English Moss

black ribbon

black gems

Gingerbread cartridge ~ tree

Thanksgiving cartridge ~ Give

Cuttlebug embossing folder ~ swirls

white and green ink

Challenge:

Exploring Cricut ~ pine, fir, evergreen, or Christmas tree

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Embossing

Have a great night.

Georgiana
