Well lets get this hop started! Today I am showcasing the new stamp set A Thankful Heart! My favorite season of all time is Fall. I LOVE the cooler weather, the wind, the colors, the holidays and all the leaves that fall from the trees. Well this set is so PERFECT for Fall/Thanksgiving and even more! I couldn't help myself but to show you a Fall project, originally was NOT my plan but I couldn't resist! I decided I wanted to make a coffee filter wreath. I LOVE the leaves from this set. There are four different varieties of leaves and they are embossed beautifully! This set is packed with amazing sentiments too!

MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Today is Thrifty Thursday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This is when we use scraps, leftovers, recyclables for your projects today. I think this segment is so fun to do! Not only do we use our scraps, most of the papers I used are scraps, but we get to use things that seem to lay around our homes for too long. For example this gift bag. I am sure this is a few years old and has been used once! So I thought why not use it and take it from a dull bag to something a little more!
Now I must say I am not happy with it just by itself but with the tag I made on Tuesday, click here, I am a little more comfortable with the results. I LOVE to recycle when I can and use any and all paper scraps. I seem to never run out of either in my house! I save everything ~ insert huge sigh.

Materials Used:

Fun Vertical Greetings

Stitched Decorative Banner Dies

Treat Slider Box Die

Stitched Daisy Die

Paper ~ PTI, Jillibean and Authentique

Ink ~ Archival

Recollection rhinestones

We also have a Designer Challenge still going on. Click here for all the details.

MCT ~ Tag It Tuesday

Good morning! Today is Tag It Tuesday over at My Creative Time. This time around Emma and the design team have a photo for inspiration.  We could either use the elements in the photo, the color palette, or both; whatever inspires us!
To be honest I was inspired by everything in the photo from the colors, the bling and there seems to be a celebration happening. So I just chose them all!

It's the photo  beautiful! I thought I couldn't help but blend some the new My Creative Time products with some older ones! I just adore how Emma's products blend perfectly together! I will list all details below.

MCT ~ Designer Challenge

Happy Thursday! Today starts a new Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time! This time around Emma has asked the design team and you to be inspired by the photo. Aren't these colors absolutely beautiful! Then the yummy popcorn had me hungry the whole time working on my card!

Since I was away most of the last release I didn't get to play to much with my new stamps and dies. Well all I can say I just fell in LOVE with them all! Since I am a "die" girl I had to sue the new Picture Perfect set! I LOVE this little camera and the word dies! OMG ~ they are so PERFECT for cards and I can't wait to use them for my son's scrapbook! Plus this set has a ton of stamps too! I couldn't help but use Photobooth Stitched die on my card as well. I again have another sneak for the upcoming release too! I am in LOVE with it or them! For some reason my picture is picking up blue tones more than green, trust me they are green...insert sigh!

MCT ~ Made In Mintues

Hello crafty friends! Long time since I have been around! Well I can share this now since we are home but my family and I went to a destination wedding for a special couple in our lives!  The wedding was absolutely PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL! We also decided to make it a family vacation as well. It was a well needed break for us all! We got back last week and we all know how things get before and after, complete mayhem happens. Plus my counter tops for my craft room finally were installed 2 days before we left for our trip! So I was trying to arrange my room so when we got back, I could craft with ease. Of course I did my wife/mom duties first! I will posting in a few weeks pictures of my room and how & what I used for organization. Get ready!
So today is My Creative Time's Made In Minutes. This is when Emma and the design team shares with you simple and fast creations that literally can be made in minutes!
For my card today I wanted to make a card for my son's. He broke his leg during soccer practice! Poor little guy will being dealing with this for 6 weeks! Let's be honest here, I feel for his mom maybe more! We all know how it is taking care of our babies! I thought the cute little plane from Fun Paper Airplane was perfect to use for a 9 year old little boy! Aren't they constantly making these things? At least in my house the 9 year old and the 40 something boy are constantly making them! LOL! I used the coordinating stamp set Plane & Simple for my sentiment on the top and then pulled out an oldie but goodie stamp set, Pain, Pain Go Away. Love this older set Emma has and shriek how you can mix and match all of her products! Plus a sneak for the upcoming release! EEK!
