MCT ~ What a Treat Wednesday

Good morning! Today is What a Treat Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! I have a very simple and easy treat to you can give someone to just say "Thank You" too! I couldn't resist using the new bag from the set Chalkboard Birthday. I just ADORE this little shopping bag. It is the perfect size to put some yummy treats in or a gift card. I wanted this little bag to be a little subtle and a little girlie. So I used some beautiful lace that a sweet friend sent me, soft minty colors and the Jr. Rolled Flower Dies. I used the smallest of the flowers and what I love about these flower dies is that they are super easy to make! Since I wanted to keep this simple, my little label and word dies are from the set Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More. With these three sets you can easily whip out some quick teacher "Thank You" gifts!

MCT ~ Scrapping the Little Things

Good morning! I hope you all had a FABULOUS weekend! We did even though it rained a bit here, not a complete washout and we needed it!!

So today over at My Creative Time, Emma and the design team, we are all about getting caught up on our scrap books.

So for my layout today I seem to collect all the little certificates, art projects and what not my son receives throughout the year. I never know what to do with them. I can't make an entire page for each one because that would be insane. Since I have manila folders from his preschool years, I thought why not emulate that. So I took 2 pieces of card stock, I cut them down to fit into a PL protector, not sure if I am going to put it in the protector yet or just punch holes in the left side, to just go around the rings. I figure if I was to punch holes in it,  then he can easily pull out to see all his accomplishments.

Enough babbling about the idea, lets get into some of the My Creative Time products I used.  For his class photo , I used the Stitched "Capture" Frame with Arrow Die. This die fits those school wallet pictures PERFECTLY! Who knew? I white embossed the frame with the Write On set, this set is school related and amazing for so much more! The Stitched Tab Die and Tab Notes set great to use for so many other things as well. I LOVE the Love To Learn set to because it focuses on school too. I ADORE the apple and pencil die from this set. I noticed as I was writing my post that I forgot to put a year and his teachers name. No worries though,  Emma has many alpha sets that I can easily add them, click here, here, here and here to just see a few of those stamp sets. The rest of my materials I will list under my picture.

Stitched Tab Die

MCT 43rd Edition Release Blog Hop

Happy Friday and welcome to the My Creative Time 43rd Edition Release Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the very talented and amazing Katie. If you just happen to drop by, you might want to head on over to Emma's blog and start there. I will also have a complete blog hop list posted below.

I just ADORED this whole entire release but then again when don't I adore them. So today I will be featuring set Chalkboard Birthday. I have been wanting a bag forever and poor Emma is probably tired of me asking! Ha! But I am so happy she waited because I have fallen in LOVE with this bag. The bag totally reminds me of those high end shopping stores. It's the PERFECT size that can fit a gift card or any small little treat! Can't wait to use this in the very near future! I used the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies for my sentiment on the bag and then used the Card Sentiments die to make my card. I used chalkboard paper but then decided to keep a cleaner look. Now the best part is this card die fits inside the bag. I LOVE this vellum too because you can add any color tissue to give it the effect you are looking for. Of course I added ribbon but decided to add a little flair with the boa. Since it was Emma's birthday this week I thought using the San Francisco Giants colors ~ if you don't know this is her families FAVORITE baseball team but then a sweet friend said it could also be for us Harley Davidson lovers too!  

Your next stop should be the amazing and talented Lucia.

MCT 43rd Edition Sneak Peek Day #4

Today is the final day of the May My Creative Time Sneak Peeks with Emma and the design team.  I am over the moon with todays new stamp and die set, maybe because I have been waiting for this new die. This set is called Chalkboard Birthday and not only does this set  have the best shopping bag die ever but it comes with 5 big sentiments that can either fit on a the new bag die or can be used for a card! Oh trust me this set is another must have set. The bag can fit a gift card along with little candies, a gift or whatever!

For my project I wanted to keep the colors that I used for my card yesterday. Click here to see the details on that creation.  I totally fell in love with these candles and couldn't resist using them for my bag. So I tried my best to color it to coordinate with my paper. I love the fact that this sentiment/image fits on the die from the Love To Learn stamp/die set. Actually all 5 sentiments from this new set fits on that die ~ Eek ~ since I am a die lover at heart! I did layer the back of that with Kraft colored paper , trying to make sure I didn't leave that color out. Of course I had to add ribbon ~ we again all know how I am about ribbon right? Some fun colored tissue paper and called it a day! Super simple to create and super simple to but this die together too!

This set not only comes with 2 different ice-cream cones, 2 different scoops, darling little faces but fun sentiments! This is another must have set.

For my card today I wanted to use this sentiment and thought why not just use the scoops and 1 of these darling  faces.

Added some Wink of Stella for a little sparkle even thought its a tad hard to see in my picture.  I wanted to keep this card light as possible with this gingham paper I just ordered with a pop of colors.

Good morning and welcome to Day 1 of the 43rd My Creative Time Sneak Peeks. Emma has one "Sweet" release for all of us this week! It will be jammed packed with tons of amazing new products that you don't want to miss! Trust me! 

Today the design team will be featuring two new sets, Sweet Wishes and We're Better Together. Both of these are must have sets and come with stamp and dies.

I will be used the set We're Better Together for my card. I mean coffee and donuts are better together right? This set comes with awesome new coffee cup, a doughnut, sprinkles ( we all need sprinkles on our treat) the cutest hearts ever and fun sentiments. I decided to keep this card on a softer scale but with a hint of fun. I used UTEE ( Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)  to create my glaze for my doughnut,. All you have to do is use VersaMark, UTEE and your heat gun until you get the desired thickness. Super easy and love the look. I went one too many times and some of my sprinkles moved but I am okay with that. I LOVE how the hearts fit perfectly in the coffee sleeve too.

MCT ~ Made In Minutes

Good morning! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather was beautiful here and I personally couldn't be happier! We had 2 baseball games, my son went to his friends house for a sleep over and a bonfire... to me perfect a weekend!

Today is Made In Minutes over at My Creative Time with Emma and the ladies. This is when we create a project that literally takes minutes to create.

My project was inspired by sweet and creative friend Katie. You can see her project here. I thought what a CUTE and great idea to cut the post off the bird house and hang it from the limb. These dies can be found on the stamp set, Fun Tweet Me Dies. In order to save time I decided to cut out everything in white paper and use Tim Holtz inks. I used this awesome PTI linen paper, it has the such a nice texture to it.  My sentiment is from the Tweet Me stamp set and I certainly couldn't resist using the new Fun Stitched Cloud Dies. My little heart is from the Stitched Message Bubble Dies, I had that in my massive scrap pile.

Just a real simple project that you can create in just minutes.

Materials Used:

Fun Tweet Me Dies
