I "Moose" Love You and Other Valentines

Hello Crafty Friends (and Fellow Moose Lovers),

Many of you may remember that I love moose and have been collecting them for a few years. My bedroom has more moose items than I really need and my class even has a small collection. When I saw this cut I could not resist! 

I purchased him from the Silhouette On-line Store. I add Glossy Accents and pink glitter glue to the hearts. The stamp is from Whimsical Designs and the jute ribbon is by 3 Girl JAM.

Here is another one with him. I personalized it with the grandchildren's names on each heart for a co-worker.

Since I missed posting a few Valentines before the holiday with having such a busy week, here they are...

I had a busy week partially because of school/meetings, but I am also taking a photography class. I have only been twice and the first night was introductions. The second night we talked about White Balance and F-Stops. I sure do understand how my students feel when I am explaining a lesson and they are clueless!  I felt like that when he was talking about aperture and ISO. Hoping to learn more in the next few weeks (since I have LOTS to learn) and I am optimistic that that my picture quality will improve! If not, I may need private lessons! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, especially if you have President's Day off. I am off, so I plan on crafting, shopping, getting school work completed, and explore with the Nikon camera.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana 

A Cozy Cabin in the Winter

Last night before I went to bed I had a burst of creative energy and laid out four different piles of papers along with some embellishments that I had planned to use for cards.  Here is what I woke up to.

After reading all the Black Friday ads this morning, I created one card before going to the Grandparent's house for Thanksgiving. I used the pile from the far left side.

 

• I used a snowflake embossing folder for the background.
• The cabin, trees, and moose were cut from the Camp Out cartridge. The cabin and moose were attached with foam squares to add dimension.
• The snowflakes were punched out using a Fiskar snowflake edge punch.
• Embellishments include: brown ribbon, brown buttons, and green embroidery floss.

I am submitting this card into the Anything Goes Challenge Blog #26 ~ Animals.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and good luck if you go shopping in the morning. My husband and I are going out hoping to come home with a few good deals. The list is almost ready...it just needs to be checked twice....since I am only buying gifts for those that are being nice. : )

Be sure to keep in touch and take care,

Georgiana

Lost Without You

Here is my most recent creation...Lost Without You. The moose is my favorite animal and if you ever were to visit my house or classroom you would know that immediately. Although I have never seen one yet, I hope to in the fututre.

There are two challenges that I am using this card for. The first is the Throwback Thursday #60 with Emma at My Creative Time which is to create a project with an animal theme. The second is "It's a Guy Thing" Challenge #6 at Paper Playtime.

I created this card using primarily the Camp Out cartridge. The grass was cut with Plantin Schoolbook and the cabin was cut from My World. Camp Out does have a cabin too, but I used the blackout mode for the sentiment to keep it simple. The inside is layered cardstock with moose tracks in the corners.

I would love to hear comments.
