Let Freedom Ring at Little Scrap Pieces and 3 Year Blogoversary Winners

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Sorry to be running a little late. It has been a busy week! I had AIMS Math training two days, my son's vehicle was in the shop, my daughter had Driver's Ed and her road test, and I am trying to walk 3 miles everyday. Next week should be a calm week where I will have more time to craft. Yeah...looking forward to that!  

 

Today brings a new challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.

 

The Challenge...Let Freedom Ring

 Do you ever go looking for paper and can not find what you are looking for? I wanted a classic patriotic paper and didn't like anything I had; therefore, I had to purchase some. I was looking for an Americana theme, but it was difficult to find a pad. I ended up buying individual sheets. 

 

Here is my Design Team project...

I cut two of the bells and adhered them in the center. I added cream ribbon to tie them together at the top. 

I attached the bells with an action wobble, so they would appear to be ringing.

Brrring! Brrrring!

Materials:

Paper Studio paper (Hobby Lobby)

red, blue, and cream card stock

Sweater Weather Cricut cartridge

Independence Day Cricut cartridge

cream ribbon

red and blue pearls

action wobble

 

Other Challenges:

Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Stars and Stripes

Cut It Up! ~ Independence Day

Simply Create Too ~ Country Flag's colors (red, white, and blue)

Five Simple Things ~ Anything Goes Linky Party

DL.Art ~ Patriotic

 

Now for the announcement of the winners from my 3 Year Blogoversary...

Please send me an e-mail (coachfans at cox dot net) with your contact information, so I can forward it to the correct sponsor.

 

Thank you again for celebrating 3 years with me!

 

Hope you will join us at Little Scrap Pieces for our "Let Freedom Ring" challenge. Be sure to stop by and see the Design Team projects.

Embossing Blog Hop Winners

Hello and Welcome Back!

Today is the day to announce the winners from our Embossing Blog Hop.

First, I would like to say "THANK YOU". I am extremely happy that so many people stopped by and enjoyed the tip and techniques that we planned at each stop. I know I learned some new ways of embossing and I am looking forward to trying them all.  Since there were 52 comments, two winners will be selected for the embossing folder using Random.org.

Embossing Folder Winners are:

Winner #1: Melissa from Created by Sunshine Honeybee

Winner #2: Marg0006 from Loving Scrapper 101

Next, we have been excited to see so many submissions for the embossing challenge. There have been too many entries to pick a favorite, so Random.org will be assisting here too. Since there were 19 entries, (which was close to 20), I will be adding 4 more additional crafty pieces.

Embossing Project Challenge Winner is:

Liz from Unik by Yes!

Congratulations Winners!

Please send an e-mail to coachfans at cox dot net with your mailing address, so I can  forward your goodies this week.

Another Hop Coming Soon!

Carri (aka ~Abusybee) and I are now talking about doing another techniques hop in the near future. Stay tuned to find out what the theme will be. We already have some great ideas. We just need to plan and then we will announce.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Time to Announce the Winners

I would like to say "Thank You" to everyone that has been visiting during the past couple of weeks, especially for leaving wonderful comments on my Blogoversary and then for the Scraps Hop. Those quilt cards were my favorite and super easy to make. If you didn't see them, please go look and then try making one.

Although it is summer vacation, I have been extremely busy in curriculum meetings. I am finishing up this wek and then I will have 1 1/2 weeks off before a couple more days of trainings. Since I have not had much time to comment, I will be able to then.  Yeah : )

Last night I made a couple cards (a co-worker actually told me not to take any work home from our meeting and make some cards instead ~ I think she knew I was going through card withdrawal) using paper I won from Stephanie at A Steph-Made Life. I love this paper. I am hoping to find out where I can get some more.

 I used the following materials:
Nifty Fifites cartridge ~ dress ~ 3 1/4"
Give a Hoot cartridge ~ banner ~ 3/4"
"Just Because" Cards cartridge ~ oval ~ 2"
My Mind's Eye paper ~ Stella Rose
gold gems and ribbon

Challenge:

Bake Sale Hop Day 2 and Winners for the 500 Followers Giveaway

Good Morning!

Welcome Back for Day 2! Thank you for joining us for the Bake Sale Blog Hop. Although we are not raising money for the cause, we are making people aware of a major problem in our country.

More Did You Knows...

• Lack of enough nutritious food impairs a child’s ability to concentrate and perform well in school.
• They are more likely to experience headaches, stomachaches, colds, ear infections and fatigue.
• Children who struggle with hunger are sick more often, recover more slowly, and are more likely to be hospitalized.

It absolutely amazes me that so many children can be hungry when we waste as much as we do in our nation. If you want to host an actual Bake Sale, Click Here to find out how.

Here is today's project.

I created these 3 X 3 Thank You cards. I want to make sure those participants are well recognized and will help again next time. 

The base card is cream colored cardstock to match the vanilla cake and then I  layered K&Company papers. A corner punch rounded the edges nicely. I used my new EK Success scalloped edge punch and the "Thank You" stamp is by My Pink Stamper. The desserts are stickers attached with foam squares.

Please leave a comment for your chance to win the Cricut Holiday Cakes cartridge generously donated by Cricut Direct.com.

Be sure to include your e-mail address and your site (if you have one). The winner will be announced Tuesday evening.

Here is the entire Blog Hop Line-up in case you get lost:

Sweetheart Winners

Today is the Day!

The winners are being announced for being a "Sweetie" and visiting during the hop this past weekend. 

The first pack of goodies goes to...

Jennifer and she said...

Congratulations!!! :) You have so many followers!

And I love your beautiful cards!!! What a treat to be inspired by so many!

Thank you so much for sharing.

I also have goodies for exceeding 415 followers and for receiving 104 comments.

Anne from Trinkets-n-Treasures.Artfire.com and she said...

All of your cards are fabulous, though the first 2 are my favorites. I know I'm in the minority in this regard, but I'm not a big fan of Create-a-Critter and cutesy in general. But for that style, your designs are really cute. My sweetest memory would have to be the birth of my son almost 39 years ago. I just found your blog and have become a follower as of today. Glad to see you have surpassed both of your goals. Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiration and for giving us a chance at some awesome goodies!

Mary at Krafting Mama  and she said... 

I love the cards they are all so wonderful. My sweetest memory probably (I have so many, it's hard to pick) was when I was little and we would dance with our parents to the old record player. I always felt so special and grown up.

I will send each of you an e-mail later today when I get home from school and you are more than welcome to send me one too, so I can get the packages in the mail before the end of the week.

Thank you again for joining all of us this past weekend during our Sweetheart Hop. I plan on visiting everyone during the week since I love to share and meet new crafty friends.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
