MCT ~ August Stamp Release Sneak #3

Hello it is day #3 of My Creative Time's August Stamp Release! I have been enjoying seeing my fellow DT's AMAZING projects! WOW! Miss Emma has really out done herself with this release ~ wouldn't you say! So many FABULOUS images, sentiments and dies!!! Today we will be showcasing the stamp set "Just Simply Live" with coordinating dies"!  This stamp set has a Polaroid die and a tape/label die that comes with it! It has Emma's signature stitching on both dies. The sentiment I will be using is "Life worth living!". I have to say I LOVE this sentiment ~ okay ALL the sentiments on this stamp set. When I think of this sentiment I think of my family. They truly are "Life worth living !".

For my first project I chose to do a layout. I chose to show you you can use it for traditional layouts. They would TOTALLY be cool to use them in Smash books and for Project Life! But since I have started my son's scrapbook ~ I wanted to keep this year the traditional way! But next year I may start changing the way I do his books. Only time will tell! I have to share with you this special day with my son. He thought he could pull out this crooked tree in our yard with his battery operated quad. My husband and I watched him for about an hour! It really was  one of those cherished memories that make our ~ "Life worth living!" I used so many sentiments from the stamp set "Inspiring Words" and one sentiment from "Have Fun In the Sun" .  These words TOTALLY fit this tape/label die and works so well with soooo many of Emma's other stamp sets. All you have to do is print wallet sized pictures and find a PERFECT MCT sentiment. The arrows are also from this stamp set. If you notice in the lower right hand corner ~ there is a date ~ well these letters and numbers come in this stamp set as well! I also used "Build A Banner Kit" and "Anyday Bingo & Crossword" stamp set. I REALLY think Emma's product work BEAUTIFULLY with layouts!  There is also another  Sneak somewhere on this layout! One important thing when doing a layout make sure you journal and put a date on it! Hey I don't care for my handwriting but later my son and grandchildren will enjoy reading  about why this day was scrapped and maybe what my handwriting looked
like!

My next project I wanted to show how you can make a picture card using the sentiment "Life worth living!" I decided to make a pedestal card of our family. I made this for my husband because at the end of September there will a be a big change in his life and our families. So I wanted to remind him family is "Life worth living!" ! I also used one of his grandma's buttons for this card just to make it more about family. The year under the sentiment on the front of the card and on the inside the "WE LOVE YOU" ~ I used the numbers and letters from this stamp set. As you can see by the date ~ this picture was taken in 2010 ~ WOW!  You can write/ journal ANYTHING you want or need!  My little red hearts came from  "Happy Mail" stamp set!

Also all of my hemp on both projects are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I am not going to bore you with all the materials I used because my post is so long and I want you to go see all the other FABULOUS projects. If you have any questions just email me ~ I will try to answer any questions.
