MCT What Inpires Me Wednesday

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I know we did here at the Harris house! Happy and sad to see it go by so quick! Sorry I haven't been around much but I have been prepping for the holiday and spending time with the ones I love the most!

Today it's What Inspires Me Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and he design team! This will be our last Wednesday post until the new year!

Today I was inspired by this wonderfully talented woman I found on Pinterest, her name is Krystie Lee. I fell in love with her style, clean and simple ~ something I am striving to try more often in the New Year. I was inspired by this card, click here.

I used the adorable little Mini Stitched Envelope Die and the hearts from Carved Heart. They were perfect for this little envie die. My sentiment is from Seasonal Greetings and I couldn't resist using my new obsession, Stitched Postage Frame Dies, these really are a must have set!

Simple and clean, Thank you Krystie for inspiring me today!

MCT 50th Edition Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the My Creative Time 50th Edition Release with Emma and the design team! Oh today is simply the CUTEST little set called You're A Hit Valentine! This set has the sweetest little people ever, along with some wonderful sentiments! 

My sentiment is from this new set and on the smallest Trio Stitched Banner die.

As you all can tell, I am slightly obsessed with the Stitched Postage Frame Dies and MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies. They add the perfect touch to the new release. Since this will be going to a sweet friend, I thought why not use the Best Friends Background stamp.  I added a few hearts from the new Carved Heart set and of course ribbon!

Super fun little card to send to a friend!

MCT ~ What a Treat Wednesday

Good morning! I hope you all had a FABULOUS weekend! We did in our household! The tree and decorations are up, did some things outside, since it was gorgeous here and just had a fun time being together!

Today is What a Treat Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This is when we create any kind of treat! I kept my project super simple and will be stocking stuffers for my son. I used pencil bags to stuff some yummy Sixlets in and stapled the top, so they wouldn't fall out. Since these won't last long, I wanted to keep my tag pretty simple.  The perfect set for keep tags simple but yet fun is the Holiday Tags set. It's packed with various tags and sentiments. Now the sentiment and dies I used for the center of my tags are from All Around Holidays Fall & Winter set I thought keeping everything really simple and coordinated could make these treats super easy to mass produce maybe for my son's Holiday party at school.

Materials Used:

Holiday Tags ~ tag

All Around Holiday Fall & Winter ~ sentiment and center dies

4x4 Journal Die+ More ~ star for tree

Paper ~ PTI and stash

Ink ~ VersaFine and VersaMark

twine SU pencil bags

Sixlets from J's

Thank you for always being so kind! Make sure you head on over to Emma's blog to check out the ret of the designer team creations!

MCT ~ 5 Days of Christmas Day 5

"We are SUPER EXCITED to bring back another 5 days of Christmas! We will have daily AWESOME prizes so you might want to tune in each day so you won't miss a thing! All you have to do is leave your comments on each stop for an opportunity to WIN!"

Today is the final day of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas with Emma and the design team! I know I have walked away with so many wonderful, creative, fun and easy ideas that will totally help me out as the holiday season approaches! Because as of today, I have not bought one gift...Insert panic... besides this gift!

Any way I saw this idea on FB and I did not save the link, so I apologize for whomever came up this idea, I love to give credit any time possible.

So the whole idea is to stuff an oven mitt with baking utensils and such, wrap a bow around it and viola! Isn't it the cutest idea! Well then add in the new set, Stitched Apron Dies and it even comes to life even more! Plus Target had these cute little Christmas themed spatulas and whisk. I know you can go to the Dollar store and pay way less and get the same effect. A simple affordable gift for the bakers/cooks on your Christmas list!

Materials Used:

Stitched Apron Dies

Teeny Tag Holiday Dies

Winter Cheer

Paper ~ PTI & EP

Ribbon ~ SU

Ink ~ VersaMark and SU

I hope you enjoyed my simple projects this week... THANK YOU for always being so sweet and kind!

Good morning! I was blown away by yesterdays fun creations! EEK!

Today I have another super fun idea for you all! My friend Ruthie, sent me these adorable little cups a looooong time ago! They are so fun and easy to decorate! I thought I would make a few of these and have them on hand filled with chocolates for possible holiday guests, mailman, and any delivery service person who brings me all my on-line shopping stuff! HA! I have to say my favorite is our UPS guy...he is never scared of our driveway. We sit about 250 feet off the road and he just plows up here no matter how much snow we have! I seriously heart him and he never takes any gift I have tried to give him! Trust me I have tried... he just tells me ~ it's his job! Love him even more.. . someone with work ethic, integrity and just plain dedicated! But I will keep trying!

"We are SUPER EXCITED to bring back another 5 days of Christmas! We will have daily AWESOME prizes so you might want to tune in each day so you won't miss a thing! All you have to do is leave your comments on each stop for an opportunity to WIN!"

Good morning! I hope you all have been enjoying all the creations Emma and the design team have created so far this week!

My project today was inspired by a gift bag I received a few years ago. I thought why couldn't I recreate it by using all these amazing My Creative Time products I have! I picked various stamps and simply made my own background stamp. What I loved about this bag was that it had a border at the top. So I partially die cut the bag die out from the Chalkboard Birthday set and attached it at the top. Isn't my little handle adorable?? I bought this trim from Hobby Lobby! I did some modifications to it but I think it looks so good with my bag!

As always I will list all materials used below!
