It's Freezin' This Winter

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this terrific Tuesday...yes, terrific! Only four days of school until Winter Break! Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

Anything Goes with Christmas

Here is my Design Team project...

I was looking for something fun and came across this penguin when I was searching thru my files. His BIG eyes and cozy hat just made me smile. Penguins are so cute watching them slip and slid, but an ice skating penguin would be hysterical!

 This skating penguin is from Tis the Season To Be Freezin' by KaDoodle Bug.

Both stamped sentiments from the Jaded Blossom Winter Wishes stamp set. 

Other Challenges:

Jaded Blossom December Challenge

My Time To Craft ~ Christmas Animals

Come and Get It ~ Anything Goes Christmas

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Anything Goes with Christmas" challenge. The other design team members did an amazing job creating holiday spirit. Be sure to check out the variety!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay Creative,

Having Winter Fun at Die Cuttin Divas

Welcome Back Crafty Friends,

 

Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva and I sure hope we have as many wonderful entries as we did for the penguin's challenge.

 

This Week's Challenge...Winter Fun

 Most of the United States and Canada have been experiencing a Polar Vortex and another freeze is heading our way. Even here in Florida we have had some extremely cold days during the month. They were originally predicting snow for Wednesday night, but that may change to sleet. I don't think they will be cancelling snow for us, but...

 

This sled will be fun for a snow day that many places are having.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week.

Stay Creative,

It is Definitely Winter

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I have been following the news and hearing about all the snow on the east coast. BRRR! I hope everyone is safe and staying warm.  I live on the southern east coast and thankfully we only have extremely cold weather...I do not like it either! I can't seem to layer enough, so I like to stay inside and craft. Well, that is except when I am shopping for deals! Like today...TJMaxx had all their Christmas Motif on sale for 60% off and their prices are already low.

 

Now onto my project...

This week's challenge at Little Scrap Pieces is WINTER.

This embossing folder is a favorite even though I don't use it often.

 Frosted Designs Day 7 ~ 7 Sparkly Snowflakes

Materials:

silver and white card stock

My Minds Eye Merry paper

snow scene embossing folder

silver gems

white and silver ribbon

Spellbinders ~ Picot Circle

Hope you will join us this week at Little Scrap Pieces for our Winter challenge. Karen always offers her crinkle ribbon as a prize and it is a wonderful addition to any project.

Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Winter Wishes to You

Earlier today I hopped around the Christmas Card Blog Hop starting at the Crafty Card Gallery. What amazing cards were created and posted. If you haven't had the chance to browse, go check it out. You still have time, plus there is blog candy available. Yeah!

After looking at all (Yes, I went thru all of them and I think there must have been about 30 participants) the wonderful projects, I decided to open my new Jolly Holidays cartridge and make a card too. : )

Here are the pieces I started with. The printed paper is from Tags, Bags, and Boxes paper pad.

I have cut the pieces and traded some of the gems for black buttons.

I embossed the white paper with a snowflake folder.

The final product is ready for display.

   I am going to submit this card into the following challenges:

• Alphabet Challenge Blog ~ E is for Embossing
• Paper Cutz Challenge #69 ~ Anything Goes!
• Easy Craft Projects #26 ~ Snow

I hope you are enjoying your time whether it is shopping, watching television, crafting, or just relaxing. I have another day off before I head back to school. I am sure my students had an awesome weekend (I didn't give them any homework except read, so I am sure they did!). I am looking forward to Monday to hear all of their stories.

Take Care,

Georgiana
