Love Challenge at Craftaholics R Us

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back. It has been a busy week around here, but it seems no matter how much you do there is always more. My "to-do" list continues to grow, but checking off items gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Today's goal is to get at least 50% of it completed.

The challenge at Craftaholics R Us began yesterday. I prefer not to double post if I don't have to. Since I didn't have anything else scheduled it worked out nicely. You still have plenty of time to join. Let's get crafty!

This Week's Challenge...

~ Love You Cards ~

Here is my Design Team project...

When I think of love, the color red comes to mind first. I pulled out two Christmas paper stacks and selected a few of the red and white sheets. You can't even tell the papers are from the holidays.

I used the following sketch from Cheerful Sketches Challenge Blog.

The stamped sheep is by MFT ~ Ewe Are the Best set. I used a Chameleon marker to color the heart, the sheep's face, and his feet.

The black stitched circle and the word love are cut from a black glitter foam sheet. Even though the material is slightly thicker than cardstock, it still cut in the Cuttlebug without difficulty.

Hope you will join us at Craftaholics R Us this week for our "Love You Cards" challenge. Be sure to check out the other crafty creations.

Stay Creative,

Valentine's Day at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Diva Fans!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for checking out my new projects!

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

This Week's Challenge...

~ Valentine's Day ~

Here is my Design Team project...

Looking for a sweet treat for your favorite Valentine. How about some Tootsie pops? I found this heart shaped glass jar at Dollar Tree along with the bundle of cherry flavored pops. I just had to add a tag (the red sheer ribbon was even included).

 

The tag is by Jaded Blossom and I cut it with my Cuttlebug. The scalloped circle, sheep stamp, and cute sentiment are by My Favorite Things. I heat embossed the sheep with ebony embossing powder which prevents the markers from bleeding. I used a Spectrum Noir red for the heart and a Chamelon brown for the hooves and ear.

Other Challenges:

The Paper Players ~ red, kraft, and white

DL.Art ~ Pink or Red

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie ~ red/white heart photo

Tic Tac Toe Challenge ~ (tag, emboss, ribbon)

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

Stay Creative,

Term Over at Eyelet Outlet and Brads

Hello Everyone,

I just got back yesterday from a week long cruise in the Caribbean. What a fabulous way to end summer break before heading back to school on Thursday. We went to Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico and did an excursion at each port. Fun! Fun! Fun! We are already talking about next year's cruise since it will be our 25th anniversary. My first choice is a Scandinavian trip with stops in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Amsterdam, and/or Russia. We need to research ports and flights before making any final decisions. Wherever we decide, it will definitely be memorable. 

Today is the last day of my Eyelet Outlet and Brads term. Six months has flown by and it was a pleasure showcasing so many different products. I know I will continue to use a variety of the products and hope you will add some to your collection.

I used a few My Favorite Things products but really want to focus on the vellum and pink gems. Since adhesive will typcially show through vellum I applied small dots of glue behind the gems. Now you can't see any residue and the vellum is securely adhered.

I added Wink of Stella clear glitter to the MFT sheep.

Eyelet Outlet and Brads has a wide variety of products! Why not check them out today.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Thinking of EWE at Paper Play Sketches

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Wednesday!

After enjoying a long weekend with the hubby, he heads back to work for a few days. Now I can head back to the craft room and get some projects completed without getting side-tracked. 

Today is also Paper Play Sketches Day!

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

While we were binge watching a TV show on Amazon, I was able to try my hand at coloring some new MFT stamps. I stamped a bunch of images and then worked on a few hedgehogs, the birthday bear, a leopard, and a couple sheep. I don't own a bunch of markers, but the colors I had were a good start. My hubby picked this one...he thought the sheep would be perfect for a baby card too.

I used a Spellbinders Lacey Circle and then the MFT stitched circle. The ribbon is by Melissa Frances.

The stamped sentiment is part of the MFT Ewe Are the Best stamp set.

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.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
