Bedroom Color Challenge Update

First, I want to send a huge THANKS to Carolyn at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamper for being the first person to post a picture for me. I asked her to test it out, so I knew if I correctly attached the Link feature (Can you tell I am a newbie?).

 It worked! YEAH!

THANK YOU again Carolyn.

Here is the update...We started off at Lowe's this morning buying the paint (Limolicious and Filoli Morning Glory) and picking up few blue and green storage containers. Then we came home and moved all the furniture...that was lots of fun. Then the taping around edges came next. Finally...PAINT TIME!

While my husband is painting our daughter's room, I decided to make a card using the same colors. I used the Martha Stewart Playful Blue paper pad that I won at More Than Favors. The dream bubble was cut a 2 1/2" using the Potpourri cartridge.

Please join us with this bedroom color challenge. Be sure to click here to get back to the link to enter your projects.

My daughter is super excited and she is looking forward to shopping for the prizes. Let me tell you...when she is spending someone else's money...she has extremely scrumptious taste in goodies.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana : )

Bedroom Color Challenge

My daughter, yes that wonderful 12 year old of mine, has decided she wants to redo her bedroom again...this usually occurs at least every other year. She gets all these great ideas, creates floorplans, and then mom has to buy the "stuff" and dad has to paint for the entire weekend.

 I thought it would be fun if we asked for your help. She needs some creative ideas for pictures for the walls and shelves. We would love if you would participate with us and use the following colors as an inspiration. She chose: Filoli Morning Glory and Limolicious. The base boards are white and the furniture is black. Here is a picture of the bedding.

I will allow my daughter to choose her favorite submissions and then she will get to go shopping again for some goodies for the winner. Please have all projects posted by Monday night. Winners will be announced on Tuesday after my daughter comes home from school and has a chance to preview all the projects.

Thank you in advance for helping. She LOVES the creative blog world!

Stay Creative,

Anything Goes with "Three Layers"

Challenge #12: Three Layers

I created two layouts this evening for The Craft Den Anything Goes Challenge. 

This first one I had planned on finishing before school started.  The students do not officially start until Monday, so I am going to say I met this goal.  The other...well...it has taken me a few years...better late than never...right? All the pictures are framed in multiple layers.

My daughter found this paper at a yard sale our local craft store held a few weeks ago. It belonged to a Creative Memories kit and we purchased it since she loves horses. I used the Old West cartridge for the letters...Flourish and Flourish Shadow at 1 1/2".

This second layout was just created although it says 2006. I purchased the Coca Cola paper after visiting the museum in Atlanta, developed the pictures once we returned home, and then put it in a scrapbook that I had good intentions of creating. Well, it never happened until now. It was a good thing the date was on the back of the pictures or I would have never remembered the year.

It's Party Time

Party Time Tuesday #12

Please join the design team in celebrating a very special day & challenge...Happy Birthday Kristie!

In honor of Kristie's birthday, we are celebrating with an "It's My Birthday Color Challenge"! The challenge rules are to create a card using Kristie's favorite colors: pink, brown & white. Don't forget to have a birthday greeting/sentiment on the front of the card!

I have had this hiedi grace designer paper for a little while and thought these colors were absolutely perfect when I bought it.

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

Stay Creative,

12 Year Old Has Creative Bug

Just For You

My daughter (who happens to be 12) has asked numerous times if she could have a blog to post her cards and I have repeatedly told her, "No". I do not feel she is old enough (since it says 13 years old) and I want to remain protective just a little longer. Therefore, I am posting some of her cards on my site so she will not feel left out.

PLEASE feel free to let her know what you think. She would LOVE to read some comments...any comments...even one...about her cards. I do not help her. I have informed her she must make them or they are no longer her creations.

Although I am her mom, I think they came out pretty good. : ) 

 

Stay Creative,

Gotta' Love a Deal

My daughter and I went shopping before I head back to school tomorrow and we found some GREAT deals.

Disney paper at Joann for 10 cents each and Disney stickers were 99 cents at Michaels

6X6 designer paper stack on clearance for $1.00 at Marshalls

Target's dollar section had yellow dot items for 50% off (My friend said they are now 75%.). These will be perfect for the scrapbook club for school.

I am ready to start creating projects for Halloween now. I even bought a stamp (not pictured) and used the 40% off a regular price item at Michaels.

Halloween stack was 40% off and individual sheets were 5 for $1.00 at Joann

Teacher Appreciation at Joann's was this past Saturday and Sunday and teachers received another 20% their total purchase.

Joann's Scrapbooking section had super deals if you were willing to take your time and look. The best buys were the 1/16" hole punch for 97 cents and the edge punch for $3.97 which was regular price $14.99. YEAH!

Hope you find some fabulous deals too. Be sure to share what you found and where.

Stay Creative,
