If You Give a Crafter a Cookie

Thanks for stopping by at Carson's Creations! Today I am sharing If you Give a Crafter a Cookie's new challenge. These are quite creative challenges...you have a picture of a cookie (yes, a cookie) and you use it as inspiration to create your project....a card, a layout, a tag, a gift bag...anything!

This Week's Challenge...
Aren't these penguins super playful looking?!

Here is my Design Team project...
I have had this post-it holder sitting on my Cameo mat for a few weeks and then I decided to use it for this penguin (rather than the thank you bird that came with the file).

This is an old svg file I had in my download stash. It is by PPbN. The sentiment was sitting in a pile on my craft table, so I am glad it finally is being used. It goes along with the note pad because you can write notes for any reason you want. 

I was fortunate to have some pink post-its to match.

I know this pen is too big for this post-it holder, but I wanted you to see the concept.
Other Materials:
pink, purple, black, white, and orange card stock
Recollection pattern paper ~ Purple Swag
white pearls
Versafine Onyx Black ink

Other Challenges:

If you like what you see, please become a follower. Leave me your blog name and I will stop by to see what you have been creating!

Pretty Penguins at Pause Dream Enjoy

Hello Everyone,
The day has finally arrived..the last day of school before Winter Break! Two weeks of family, crafting, day trips to the Orlando parks, and definitely some relaxing. Hubby hasn't said anything about home improvement projects yet, so I am not going to ask!  : )

Today also begins a new Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party.

This Week's Challenge...
Always Anything Goes

Here is my Design Team project...
I made a pair of pretty penguins for a friend, so she could give them to her daughter's teachers. The bags are from the Dollar Tree , but the penguin face is from My Scrap Chick. I thought twins would be festive.

I cut the tags with my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. They were cut at 1 1/2.

The twine is Maya Red from The Twinery.
Hope you will join us at Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party this week for our "Always Anything Goeschallenge. The other design team members have a variety of projects, so be sure to check them out today! 

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

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:

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!

No Peeking Little Penguin

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is starting off to be a FABULOUS day! Not only is it Friday and the week before Winter Break, but I am working on some 2015 crafty goals and hoping to accomplish most of them early in the new year. I am eager to learn new techniques, meet new crafty friends, and join a new Design Team or two.

Today's project...
A cute penguin that is peeking out from under his cozy hat.

The original file from Little Scraps of Heaven does not have an eye, but I thought altering that part was the cutest! I added a small round circle so he can peek at you.
Other Materials:
pattern papers are from scrap box (that needs to be a goal too ~ use it!)
black, white, and orange card stock
Whimsical Designs stamps ~ Snow Much Fun set
Versafine ink ~ Onyx Black
Glitz glitter glue
polka dot ribbon

Hope you have a great weekend,
Georgiana

Feeling Better Just in Time for a Merry Christmas

Wow! Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are just a blur now. Both days were wonderful, especially since family was able to come here. My meds finally started working on Christmas Eve, so I was able to create a few projects and it has been non-stop since.
 
First...I still have a bunch of these plastic tumblers, so I decided to make some last minute gifts. I used various colors of vinyl and the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. The tops are tied with coordinating bows. 
 The polka dots range in size from 1" to 1/4".
 Secondly...I used holiday M&Ms for a final candy jar.
 Although the white tag is simple, the stamp is from My Craft Spot...Mistletoe set. Love the bells and festive twine!
 
Lastly...My new toy! This was the first Cameo cut I made, Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons penguin. I tried after everyone left and I watched a dozen You Tube videos. Not too bad! The size is too big for a card, but it sure would fit on a scrapbook layout page. I will be exploring more now that I have the basics. I even found a project from the Silhouette store I am trying next. I am definitely glad I am feeling better!
More crafty news coming soon!
 
Until Next Time,
Georgiana
