For my project today I will be using the new "Bracket Dies" and "Bracket Sentiments" . I just LOVE how versatile these really are! I chose to make a card with mine but I can TOTALLY see these being used for scrap booking! I am so excited! The bonus is these new dies can go with Emma's Stitched Journal Die, the 4x4 Journal Die & More and the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die! WHOO HOO! Best part yet, they have Emma's signature stitching on them too! LOVE her stitching! The Bracket Sentiment stamp set is jammed with fun sentiments and can be used in so many wonderful ways too!


I am going to keep my posts very short this week but I did want you to know this card was mostly created with scraps. I am still purging my craft space and I am trying my hardest to get rid of the scraps in a timely fashion. With all this said, I gave myself a time frame to use my scraps or they need to be pitched! So if you have seen this paper before this is why! I also made this for my hubs, since he is going to be doing most of the work!


So for the record ~ I love you because... I'm getting a new scrap space and your doing most of the work! LOL


Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI, SU, DCWV (almost all scraps)
Ribbon ~ from M's
Ink ~ Archival ,SU and VersaMark

MCT ~ ABC Challenge

Good morning! I hope you all are having a wonderful week! I know I am because I am on the great purge of my craft space! So I must apologize for not being around for sometime now! I will be redoing my space in the next few weeks. I am purging, donating, organizing  and literally trashing stuff! I am beyond overwhelmed with my small space. The amount of crafting supplies I have and don't use nor remember I have is beyond words! So please bare with me crafty friends, I promise after this I will be back to stalking your blogs regularly. This has been taking so much of my time, beside family, my son's homework and working part time. I know in the end I will be so happy!


Okay onto the My Creative Time Challenge! This time around Emma and the design team will be bringing you an ABC Challenge! I love this idea! So all you have to do is create a project using any letter in the alphabet and run with it! I chose the letter "P". So with that said I used:

Polka Dots
Patterned Paper
A Pocket die
and to get really technical the petals off my daisy!

Simple right??



Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI and Simple Stories
Ribbon ~ PTI
Ink ~ Archival
brads

MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Good morning its Thrifty Thursday over at My Creative Time. This is where Emma and the design team use our scraps, leftovers or recycle an item. Today I thought I would tackle my humongous pile, who am I kidding a pile ~ try like a mountain of scraps!


My scraps for this card were from a mishap, an extra reindeer cut and some random yellow piece of paper.  Super simple. I have to say that on Tuesday, Emma and the design team inspired me to try double stamping. Can I say I think I am going to LOVE this once I get the hang of it! Very simple card but I actually like how simple it turned out.






Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI and scraps
Ink ~ Archival
Ribbon ~ PTI
bling from stash

That's it for me today, head on over to Emma's blog, click here, to see all the other fabulous creations! Thanks for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments.

MCT ~ Whatever Wednesday

Good morning! Today is Whatever Wednesday over at My Creative Time , with Emma and the design team! This is when we create anything we want whether it be a card, layout or 3~D item; whatever our hearts desire!



Today I wanted to make a simple card using texture. I have had felt for some time and always see many of my friends use it. For some reason I NEVER remember to pull my felt out. Then my new love, burlap! I thought why not put them together and see what I can create! I just LOVE how Emma's dies cut and with both of these textures!



Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI
Ribbon ~ PTI
Ink ~ Archival
Felt and Burlap

MCT ~ Made In Minutes

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today over at My Creative Time, Emma and the design team will be sharing creations that were literally made in minutes. I love this segment because when we are all in a hurry, cards and projects really can be made in minutes.


I needed to make 3 real quick Valentines Day cards for those who live in my house. I thought the easiest thing to do was keep all three cards in the same color pallet and use this awesome background stamp, Love Collage . I thought since the stamp was already on the stamp press this could be simple, fast, easy and super cute! My times will be posted below the pictures ~ so easy to create slightly different cards when you use similar products, negatives from dies already used!





My first card:

Happy Monday everyone! Today the design team will be sharing either layouts, PL or smashing! We hope to inspire or motivate you all to start or catch up on our books! So head over to Emma's blog, My Creative Time to see all the design teams inspirations!


Fair warning this is a very picture heavy post. Since I chose to do PL like cards,  I will breaking down what My Creative Time products I used for each card  to make it easier for you all and myself. I did scrap current pictures from the month of January ~ just one day but I LOVED this day and this little man I call my son.


The whole layout/PL page




For this card I had a picture that I took with my phone and it wasn't the best quality. So I thought it would be fun to cut around my son. Turned out pretty CUTE.
