MCT ~ Designer Challenge

 
 
 
Happy Halloween! Today there is a new Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. This challenge is hosted my the very sweet, talented and creative Miss Glora. She has asked us to make any type of Thanksgiving project. After all the this is our next holiday coming up , so I think this is a wonderful idea!
 
I decided I would pull out this CUTE little turkey from the "Piles Of Smiles" stamp set. He is an adorable little guy. He has 5 little feathers already but I wanted him to look a little fuller, so I paper pieced another five on him. And since I LOVE plaid, I couldn't resist using this paper I have had in my stash forever. I think the colors scream Thanksgiving. I used a sentiment from the new stamp set "Teeny Tag Holidays" . These stamps coordinate with the "Teeny Tag Greeting " , these have coordinating dies but can be used for many other things and dies. The rest of my materials I will list below.  We hope you can play along with this new challenge.
 
 
 Sorry for the dark picture ~ the sun was struggling to come out that day!
 
Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI ~ K & Company
Ribbon ~ PTI
Ink ~ Stampin Up, Archival and TH
Wink of Stella pen and Copics
 
Simple card. Again we hope you can join us in Glora's Thanksgiving Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time . Thanks and have a great day!

MCT ~ Scrapping The Little Things

 
 
 
Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today is "Scrapping The Little Things" over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This is the day we get to do any form of scrap booking we want. Whether it be a regular scrapbook page, PL or smashing. I have only done one PL before and thought why not give it another shot. I do plan on mixing regular layouts with PL. I seem to take tons of pictures and don't want any of them to go to waste.
 
I thought for today I would get a head start on the 2013 Halloween pictures. I decided to use this 4x4 protector to give an intro into this years Halloween pictures, since I wont be taking any pictures until this Thursday. Emma's products are so fun to create scrap pages! I did use the new "Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies" twice on this page. I made the traditional rosette and yes it is a tad bulky once I put it in the sleeve but I am fine with that. Can you guess where else I used it? If you guessed on the right side you would be correct! I thought they looks pretty cool as a border. Sort of like a punch would look like! I LOVE this idea to be honest. Okay the rest of my materials I will list below!
 
 


 
 
Materials Used:
Paper ~ Stampin Up, EP, ME and PTI
Ink ~ Archival and Stampin Up
Ribbon ~ May Arts and hemp
Wink of Stella pen
 
That is it for me today! Make sure you check out all the design teams pages. We hope this inspires you to get caught up with you scrap books. Have a great day!

Let's get right to my project! I am obsessed with jars apparently! LOL! I couldn't resist doing a few more! I think adding some fun candy with a few little elements can be super cute, quick and easy! I did use the new little stamps, Teeny Tag Holidays , with the Teeny Tag Greeting  with coordinating dies,  for this project. Made it very simple. I did notice that someone got into my little eye jar!! Hmmm wonder if it was the big guy or the little guy that lives in my house???
 
 
Alright that is it for me today! I am really trying to keep my posts short and sweet because I don't want you all to miss any of the Halloween projects that Emma and the design team have this week!  Have a great day and see you back here tomorrow!

Day #3 and we are still hustling out some fun, quick and creative Halloween projects. Today's I took a sign I won at a bridal shower last year and made a rather simple Halloween décor project! I sanded the paint off it first and used some black spray paint to coat the wood. I then went to town with a ton of different My Creative Time stamps and dies and had fun! I did not Modge Podge it yet because I was afraid of how the pictures would turn out. But I plan on doing that very soon so it can be protected.  I must say I LOVE  how this turned out! It's so bright, fun and festive for Halloween!

Today's project is made out of paper towel rolls! I cut them in half and covered them with fabric that I bought on clearance last year. I will fill the tubes up with candy and give it to friends of ours who have 3 little children.  I forgot to take pictures of them from the side to show you there are 3 candy tubes. I decided to tie the tubes together and make one little tag. I adhered a magnet on the back and they could put that on their refrigerator. Simple right? I told you all I am a tad obsessed with those little ghosts! Again all the stamps and dies are Emma's awesome products.
 
 
Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI
Ribbon ~ PTI and J's

Okay that is it for Day #2 and I will be back tomorrow with yet another fun Halloween project. Thanks for stopping by and make sure you head over to My Creative Time for a lot more Halloween inspiration from Emma and the girls!

I figure I will take some pictures during Halloween and just add this to a layout, not quite sure yet?? I LOVE Emma's products and these "Stitched Spooky Ghosts Dies" are simply the CUTEST little things EVER!!!! I have become a tad obsessed with them!  Simple and a quick way to spruce up a jar!

Hello and welcome to My Creative Time October Release. You should have arrive from the very talented and creative Miss Katie. If not, that is okay, you can start over at Emma's blog, My Creative Time. If you get lost along the way I will have a complete list of blog hop!
 
Now yesterday you got to see the whole entire release and Preorder. What did you think? I just LOVE  this release. So many wonderful new products that work incredibly with older releases! LOVE that about our fearless leader, always thinking!
 
Okay for my project today I want to keep with my whole Christmas theme. Again I apologize because I hate when the stores push holidays out the door so fast but as we all know Christmas is approaching fast and I want to get a jump start on some little gifts. So I decided to make a quick little treat holder. I usually have a reason, a person or purpose for my projects but for today it was all about having fun with this release!  Plus I just wanted to use too many AWESOME and AMAZING My Creative Time products. So I took the "Bubblegum Treat Box" , die cut it with acetate and trimmed off the bottom part. The first time I saw this was from the creative Miss Cassandra. Click here for that post. I wanted to dress this little treat container up and with this new release it was VERY easy! Just adding the new "Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die" would have been plenty but how could I resist. I do have to say this little bow is so awesome to work with and I can see it on so many things! Can't wait to create with it more! I decided to make some little topper like things. I used the new "All Around Holidays" , "Postcard Add-Ons" and the new "Scalloped Stitched Rosette Die" .

I hope you all enjoyed this week as much as I did!

MCT ~ Sneak Peek Day #3

Happy hump day! Today is Sneak Peek #3 over at My Creative Time with Emma and the crew! Aren't you all in awe of this release? I know I am and having tons of fun creating with it! Now don't forget tomorrow is Preorder day! You don't want to miss that!
 
EEK ~ I keep on forgetting to put this in my posts! We have a very special guest designer joining us for this release! Heather is her name and she is an AWESOME  and super talented crafter! I stalk her blog as often as I can!  Welcome Heather!
 
Today we will be showcasing The "Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die" and the "Medium Stitched Scalloped Bow Die" . These are the cutest little bows ever to work with and the result is simply AMAZING! I haven't said this in a long time but, I LOVE Emma's signature stitching on her products. I knew exactly what I wanted to do! See my son is into making Rainbow Loom bracelets and he thought it would be a nice idea to make them for the special people in his life for Christmas. I told him I have the right box for him to use for his gifts. I pulled out Emma's "Treat Slider Box" and whipped these up in no time ~ as promos of course for my son's approval. These boxes fit the bracelets, even doubles and triple ( you have to understand Rainbow Loom bracelet language to understand this ~ LOL) and I got the okay from my "new" little client to proceed! LOL!!! Of course the new "Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die" was the PERFECT touch for these little boxes. I used the "Stitched Fun Ticket Dies" for my tags. The cut little Christmas tree die is from the "All Around Holidays" , this set comes with coordinating dies. Then the cute little bell image and decorative line is from the new "Holiday Tickets" . My sentiments are from the stamp set "All Around Christmas" . I like to mix Emma's new releases with some of her older ones just to show how versatile her products are!

MCT ~ Sneak Peek Day #2

Today is Day #2 of My Creative Time October Sneak Peeks! Didn't I tell you there was ton of inspiration, well today is no different! Emma is simply AWESOME! Today we will be sneak peeking "All Around Holidays" and "Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies" . The BEST part about the "All Around Holidays" is they come with coordinating dies. These dies fit right in the center of the round sentiments and still work with the "Scalloped & Stitched Circle Die"  They cover every occasion and these dies are so stinking CUTE! I also must admit I have been wanting Emma to come out with rosette dies for some time! I LOVE the fact that I can just run them thru my machine and bam... DONE! There are two different size rosettes that come in this set and they are simply PERFECT!
 
I know that Halloween has yet to come but I can't seem to get Christmas out of my head! So today's project is a Christmas/Winter themed card! I wanted to use nontraditional colors and patterned paper. Then I thought why not go crazy and do a diagonal card. So I used a sentiment from this new set and the ADORABLE little snowman. I did paper piece his hat on him, with one little snip and he has a hat! Isn't he CUTE! I used the bigger rosette from the "Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies". I put all this on the "Stitched Doily Die" . I did add some snowflakes that can be found on "Holiday Tickets" stamp set. I wrapped some hemp around my card stock and called it a day! I really like non traditional colors and papers this year for some reason??

MCT ~ October Sneak Peek ~ Day #1

Good morning! Today is Day #1 of  My Creative Time Sneak Peek! I am so excited for this release! When you think Emma can't possibly come out with something even more AMAZING than the last release ~ BAM she does! I promise to keep my posts short because there is ton of inspiration all week and I don't want you all to miss a thing!
 
Today Emma and the crew will be showcasing the "Build A Postcard" , "Post Card Add Ons" and "Holiday Ticket" . I can't even explain how many wonderful and fun these images & sentiments are on these sets. I can see these being used for cards, scrapbook layouts, PL and smashing!
 
For my project I decided to do a postcard by using the "Stitched 4x6 Journal Die" . Everything I used on this postcard is from either the "Build A Postcard" set or the "Postcard Add Ons" except the little envelope, circle that says "Noel" and Christmas ornament, these are all My Creative Time products.  I think there are 14 different stamps that I used not including the dies! From the fun stitched line at the very bottom, to the trees, the squiggly line across my stamp, the stamp image, the word "stamp", the little sentiment "DEC 25" and my little trees plus a whole lot more! I honestly LOVE these two sets!!! After doing this postcard ~ I decided I am not sending it out but going to do more little cards for my son's Christmas PL page!
