I love pockets! They are so handy, you can fill them full of love like in this card!
Valentine card # 3.  I've really enjoyed making these cards with the intent to have others make them.  It's not that difficult!  Explore your creative side &  I've mad it easy for you- fear free! ! I was sent an image from a young woman who made the 'Honey jar card in DE!  It turned out terrific and she made it herself (without the printout) with my instruction,  with feeling so crummy it really came at the perfect moment. Nice to see & it gave me a little boost - I had to make the pocket card which has been in my mind for over a week. 

It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday - it took me longer with this cold' but I feel worse when I don't paint so I decided to try & then the next thing I know it was complete  and I felt accomplished and ready for my next nap! lol  This card was fun, make your own, use my template.. It's really easy to paint the front, it's more or less shades of blue pointed with a BIG brush then some lines with a finer brush and a bit of red. You would only need to buy  2 colors- because  you can make the darker shaded by mixing the two to get a purple :D  Below is the image containing the pocket contents!
Print it out, cut them out and put them in your pocket! 
Have fun! - What might you leave out or add in?  
I'd include a real joint for fun too-  thats the idea behind the card you could add a gift card, stickers, cash - anything that's slightly 'flat'. I'm keeping this card! It looks cute on my desk! 

See below to see how to make this card! Share with someone you love or try to make one for yourself!  I hope what ever your plans you have a LOVELY day!   & btw- Im continuing to make cards filled with love all month  & all share another soon - I've been busy with some fun templates- wait until you see how creative 'You' can be!

!! I realize the condom was an after thought!   I've been married 26 years people. 
The condom was an after thought..   so just add the REAL deal!
​Which is much better than the sentiment anyway!  xox G  

Nothing says loving like something homemade!  Crafts, cards - so why should cannabis be any better?  Giving someone a jar of your bed preserved home grown bud would be telling them you love them and then some!  You want them to be happy, relaxed.. inspired  - healthy.  Here is another VALENTINE card for you to make and give - the great thing is - you could give anything from bud,  candy, medicated cookie, shatter... diamonds -preyty much anything that will fit in a baggie'.

Below is the actual image you can download & print  OR make your own from scratch!
It's not as hard as it looks - the hardest part was the painting (easy for me), *thank you to my son for the cutting work.  I highly reccomend you glue your paper to thin cardboard or use a good quality 'card stock'- I buy my blank cards by the box (bulk lol) from DeSerres (Canadian craft supply store- free delivery & competitive prices)  Water color quality, complete with envelopes... so when ever I feel that need to create cards - it's there! I'm enjoying this card making session-  wait until you see the next.

Steps for the Mason Jar card:

-print out card on card stock or glue your print out to thin cardboard, empty cereal boxes work great for this.
-Carefully cut out inside of jar around edges *these steps are in the photos below.
Green slice Matt & cutter from dollarstore or staples.
-glue the cut out part of the card 'only the sweetest..'  to the inside  of the card- *make sure you place it so that you can see it  when the card is closed.
-place a small baggie and glue- tape (glue would not hold on its' own)  it as you see in the photo, both sides and the bottom, when the card is closed it should look like 'clear glass'.
-fill your card with TLC & THC!

Sign your card- date the back, put it in an envelope - pain on a few hearts to tie it all together, a bit of twine would take it up a notch ' Have fun!  Think Love.

 You can add cannabis/medicated for your adult friends/lover/mate  
NOT medicated for the kids. Please take care with delicious tasting goodies. 
The baggies could be filled with many creative ideas- I think it would make a nice packaging idea by the way for a dispensary,  I know many don't have the creative marketing budgets some of these big places have so get creative!   

*I purposely did not paint cannabis on this card - so a kids could make it for their friends (with some adult supervision)  and fill it with healthy treats for their friends!  It's all about
Love.

Have fun!   I have one more card idea!! It's titled 
You've got all I need! We still have time right?  I love the creative side...
I don't go for this 'Valentines DAY' stuff-  Show me love all the time not just one day of the year or not at all.  It should not require a DAY on a calendar for anyone to express love to anyone...  I will admit - it is a good time to 'take a chance for romance!' as  many have 'Amour on the brain.  

I hope you enjoyed this card - to the point of creating one yourself - if you do send me a photo- I'll send you a postcard. ;)    The next card is a print out as well, one more before  Valentines day so you have time to get your cards created! 
​

Love is in the air!  It's February and I'm making valentines! 'A little early  -you might add.
YES! I have to make it early so I can share it with you - in time for you to make one too!
This little card turned out better than I expected- it made me smile when i was complete and - it actually worked! 

Roses are Red Cannabis is green- this is the cutest little 'canancard game' I've ever seen!
Spin the centre & You'll see - who your Valentine Bud  is to be! Hee Hee Hee
A interactive card - Let's Play!
Not sure how you'll spend Valentine day? I've taken some of the guess work out for you!
Give it a spin- start your evening with what the Canna Wheel suggests- heck spin until you sample them all!  Once complete- I found myself spinning just for fun, Storm was impressed and gave it a spin too.  The best part of this Valentines Day Card- YOU don't need a partner! Make it and 'play with yourself.   ;)   Show yourself some love.

I' have included the Free Download links below - click on the link  to print it in color or black & white. 

I painted my card on water color paper- so it is stronger...  
If you are printing yours I do suggest these steps:

1. Print your card
2.Color your card
3.Glue the entire sheet to a piece of cardboard- an empty cereal box would do
4.Let it dry over night
5.Cut it out and assemble as in the steps below.

Supplies needed:  Scissors, white glue, crayons, pencil crayons, paint   & one Brad (found at craft supply stores & the dollar store- IF you don't have  a brad'  use some string with knots tied to hold it into place.

By gluing your paper to cardboard it will make your card stronger and spin easier.  I have included the version you can color yourself & the colored version to print if you wish.
Come on Give it a Spin! Have some loving creative fun!

* Make this card,  then  #cannaspincard your photo on Instagram with @georgia.toons  or IG in a message & I'll mail you out a set of postcards for playing along & anyone who tries will  also be entered into a draw for a free  original - inspired by and filled with LOVE.
​Only those reading this message here  will know of this contest.  Don't forget when it hits 1000 a big original goes to someone following. That simple.
I am thankful I get to share my gifts with you, it makes me feel good to know when someone gets an original or I've inspired someone to make their own cards to share love - I have helped add love & light - some sunshine to the universe this day.

​*Offer ends at the end of this month. Feb 2018.   You can see my spinner spin on my IG account (if you follow) my account is currently 'Private.   Why? It's just the mood I am in, I also do not automatically follow those who follow, it is not personal  ;) it get's too distracting & I can't keep up & I am using IG as my main source of Social media & way to communicate with some 'real friends'... but i do look at others pages who follow & thank you for your support btw.  Sometimes I contact strangers on IG and ask them if they want an original (like I did with Holly & you will see who's next - I've offered a free logo to a young woman who is setting a lovely example on IG.
Oh - & Georgia's ! Why not.. I'm networking with other Georgias all around the world. Hahaha- It's my current thing! Are you a fellow Georgia? E me! 

Have fun!! I've decided to paint more love..  currently painting a 'cow' I love.   lol
I saw it on my desk this a.m. and almost skipped this post- I'm so excited to get back to my Mushroom cow.  :D

Step by step photos and a few notes in the images below.  I posted it early so you will have LOTS of time to  make your card, lol (I woke Storm just to film the video.. he's a bit jet lag but got up to do it for US'  ;) I love my son)   possibly even a few- I can think of several friends who would love this card.. but I think I'll keep it to Spin on a rainy day.. just for fun - Because:

I Love Me.

Get Busy!!

MORE cards for you to color soon.

​

I  tested and printed a version- it prints slightly smaller than the original but works fine!
I'm mailing a printed version to a friend for Valentines day - some assembly required*
​ hee hee hee  <3  

eYeah!! It's foray season!  I've already had morels fried up twice! Nom Nom!  As you know I designed the posted for the 40th Cain Foray - & I've a few ideas still- one is to encourage kids!  I noticed from time to time there are little ones who join the forays and as expected- they get bored... so, I thought I'd make this cute little Scavenger hunt poster!  There is something the sheet for everyone to find!  They might not find the mentioned mushrooms Morel might not be in season) but it will encourage them to explore and discover! 
We printed a few and will attach them to clip boards and hand them out to little explores should they joins us.  a FREE color download - IF you want to take our little Mushroom hunter out in the backyard!  The most important point you must teach your children is:
                     Do NOT eat anything you find in the wild. 

They could become understandably confused, seeing mushrooms in the grocery store and also on the driveway. TEACH them the difference.  IT'S your job parents, not the schools - to educate your little ones on being safe in nature and also - YES!! Come join us on a foray
(you need to become a member) & introduce your children to EDIBLE mushrooms!  Show them the variety nature provides.   Teach them which are safe to eat- Teach them how to FRY them up!  My son (the Foray director) pulled out his camping stove, butter & frying pan at the last foray and a wonderful gentleman contributed his Morel find for all to share! Im making him a special thank you card.  It was magnificent mushroom moment.
Mushrooms are fascinating!!  

Are they little artists? Now is the time to break out the sketch book- I'm often  overwhelmed and ONLY pick 3 off the table at the end of the day to take home and paint.  If I am at a foray I'll be sketching and will gladly help any little artist. I met one this past weekend 'Isabelle.  Her mom showed me a terrific drawing she did of a Robin & Blue cat smiling up at him - lol & she is talented.  I gave her a little sketch of a morel & snail.  NEXT- I'm working on coloring sheets to have at the Foray as well.  
Children are OUR future. Mushrooms are the future.
Below a few photos of our last foray and a FREE color DOWNLOAD to enjoy with your little ones!  Come back soon- for a coloring sheet and more mushroom art - OF course! 


With Love

It's Buds Bunny! Jumping for JOY! Cannabis is here end it's time to celebrate and ENJOY  all the benefits that follow!  When I was working on the coloring sheet  thinking about one of my favourite pastimes as a kid - Jumping jacks - Who was not fascinated by these technical marvels that could dance with the pull of one string?

Who in Canada- or  USA has not at one point given a little tug?
Especially as little tykes? What could I offer to bring as much 'Tickle me Green Giggles'?
BUDS BUNNY & He is FREE. 

Debating on 'Printable downloads' as a source of income, amongst others opportunities BUDS Bunny hopped right onto my drawing desk- the next thing I knew  'He was going to be a toy that could be printed this EASTER for every adult who wants- for every kid they want - Kid of any age. When it comes to jumping jacks I can not resist!

Bugs Bunny is  in color for those that want to make and use without putting much thought. Being the visual person I am, it was much easier for me to put it all in step by step photos for assembly AS you see Below.  The paper I use to paint him on was water color paper - stronger than most. 140lb.
I HIGHLY recommend before you do anything,  YOU take the following simple step:

Print your bunny on good paper - then GLUE the entire sheet on the back (smooth out the glue with a credit card so the entire sheet is covered ) * or use spray adhesive, and place it on a stronger piece of cardboard- recycle an old cereal box.  Use the 'blank side' out so you have a nice "clean back to write a note on the back of your Buds bunny- Do not forget the day you created this masterpiece - so future generations will enjoy your hard work.  
Once DRY follow the steps.

You will need:
Glue *for above step*  IF printing on a CARD stock quality paper - you might not need this step.
Scissors
A standard hole punch 
4 brass brackets - available at a craft store.
Needle & hempstring or strong thread.
Nimble fngers to tie knots...lol
1 BEAD or something with 'Weight' to tie on the bottom  *see examples below
Patience 

Follow the steps below and then.. Jump for Joy as Buds Bunny knows the healing powers of cannabis- BTW- just incase your bunny doesn't have his 3rd eye open- you can cut out the little flower and place it  over... for now.. lol  

PLEASE, if you have the opportunity, take the time to explain to little ones about the plant.
That's all the first step need be.. 

Educate them:  They should NEVER touch or eat any PLANT OR Mushroom
unless they KNOW what it is. There are far more poisonous and deadly plants in the wild  than the cannabis on your counter.  Fact.

Click on the Image below for your Easter Gift from GeorgiaToons.  ;) then follow the steps in the images below. have fun! Take photo an show me your bunny! #budsbunnyjumps  or
E me a photo..   stay tooned - MORE  creative cannabis inspired crafting coming soon. 
With Love,
Georgia 

I'll leave this post for a couple of days - Enjoy your Easter Weekend!

Think of the smiles yo will create.

NOTE! I'd like to thank IKEA for this:

http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/doc/general-document/ikea-here’s-how.__1364308096275.pdf

 It is a template to print out if you don't want to use bunny & recycle cardboard - like those IKEA assembly required  - lol- boxes ;) ! 
& it shows you 'simply' how to assemble.

I'm taking a break for Easter.. no posts for a couple of days. 

With Love
