Peachy Keen Challenge 13::9 Just Cards:: Oh My stars

Good afternoon hope every one is having a wonderful day today! Last night the storm FINALLY hit us. Woke up to 9 to 11 inches of snow! No school for my little man and no work for me!! YEAH!! Thank goodness its melting fast ~ LOVE March snowfalls ~ they don't stay around long! Come on Spring ~ I need sunshine and warmth!

Anyhow after hanging out with my little man this morning I carved in some time to play along this weeks challenge over at Peachy Keen Challenge. I so miss playing along but family and work comes first. This week we were asked to just make cards and include stars on the card! So I looked through my PKS stash and came across the stamp set PKSC -08 August 2012 . This week I saw my son's teacher and another teacher ( she sees him sometimes at recess) and they both had the nicest compliments about him! I just ADORE his school and the awesome people/staff that treat our children with so much love! I couldn't let this go by without telling him congratulations on being such a good boy! We are very proud of him!

With all that said, I heat embossed the school house from this stamp set in the background. Used this CUTE little tablet paper stamp and a face for my star from this stamp set. All school related! My stars are from my stash ~ I seem to have a ton of things I seem to cut out but don't use ~ so using my scraps right now are what I am about. So I have no clue what cartridge these are from. But I do know that my little tiny stars are from Emma's, over at My Creative Time, new release. So are those ADORABLE scissors! I just paper pieced them so the handle was black and the actual sheers were shiny silver. I will list all materials below.

Well I am off to clean my work space up and now prepare my third and final meal for the day! UGH! So nice to have them home but I am constantly getting snacks and cleaning up dishes when he is home!

My Creative Time ~ Scrapping The Little Things

Happy Monday! Today is "Scrapping The Little Things" with Emma and the design team. This is were we create a Project Life, Smash Book or a scrapbook layout. Well since I am still working on my son's 12 x 12 scrap book, I chose to do a 12 x 12 page but try my best to make it smashy looking! LOL! You can check out all the design teams projects over at My Creative Time by clicking here! If you're a little behind we hope this inspires you to get caught up!

So for my layout I chose to do a picture of my son laying on his boppy pillow. He absolutely hated tummy time and this was the only way I could get him to be on his tummy. Emma's products are so fun and easy to add to layouts. I just LOVE using them ~ so much easier than dusting off that machine I own and fight with constantly1 LOL! I used my favorite DCWV paper pack EVER and some washi tape which let me say ~ I think I am going to have to get more of this stuff. I LOVE it! The rest of my products I will list below.

My Creative Time 3~D Wednesday

Hello it has been awhile since I have posted! I was down with the stomach virus last week.  I am usually pretty tough and bounce back rather fast but it didn't happen this time! I just hope I took one for the team, I mean family! I am crossing EVERYTHING I have that no one in my house gets it!

Anyway ~ today Emma and the My Creative Time the design team will be featuring 3~D items! I personally LOVE doing them. So many fun things you can make for family and friends. This week was pretty much anything goes. I LOVED the new stamp set "You're My Pot of Gold" which includes the cutest little shamrock die! Lucky this stamp set has this exact sentiment on it because I really wanted to play on the words of it. So I rummaged through my son's kitchen set to find this cute little cooking pot. I thought how fun would it be to fill this up with some gold wrapped candy. Now I will say if the candy wasn't already gold, I could have used the new "Treat Slide Box" die (pre~order only) and wrapped them myself. How CUTE can you make your candy look! My project is really simple but I just giggled making it! Best part is I am giving this to my Mom ~ who LOVES candy & lives with us ~so I get my little pot back! LOL! I want to use it again for a couple other ideas I have!

I also would like to remind everyone that the MCT Designer's Challenge, hosted by our very own Miss Nancy, is still going one ~ we hope to see your creation. Click here for all the details.

 

Sorry for all the bad pictures but it was windy and rainy here the day I took this!

MCT Scrapping The Little Things

Happy Monday & Presidents Day! Today Emma and the My Creative Time design team are back with "Scrapping The Little Things".

So for my layout I decided to scrap a picture of the first time we took out son to a local amusement park.  Our school district has a day reserved every year where everyone in the community goes. It used to be on a Friday in the beginning of May and we would have the day off from school. We no longer do it this way ~ which I actually miss ~ we go in June on a Tuesday! I so miss having it in May even though the weather is warmer in June. Just look at what we are wearing ~minus my son ~ I have a turtle next on with a sweatshirt. Note the hat too, it must have rained that day as well! Apparently this mother of the year only took ONE picture too! What was I thinking?? His first trip there and one picture ~ horrible! Plus it was at night too, my son is in his pajamas! LOL! Hot mess but I had to capture this moment for our family. Reason why is because we were asked to use the Emma's new "Fun Tickets". How perfect are they for this occasion. I am not real happy with this layout but that is okay ~ some days you just have to let it alone ~ right?? I will list all the other materials below ~ again trying to keep my posts short. Head on over to My Creative Time and see what all the other creative & talented ladies have created.

So for my project today I will be showcasing the new "Stitched Fun Tickets Dies" and "Fun Ticket" .  I have to tell you I LOVE these stamps and dies! The ticket dies layer and have Emma's signature stitching! YEAH! Plus there are 15 different tickets stamps with 2 blank tickets. I wanted to make an Reward Ring for my son! He got straight A's on his report card again and a "Good Citizenship" certificate! So proud of him ~ love my little man! So I thought why not use the ticket stamps and dies so he can turn in tickets for various rewards. I stamped various stamps and even personalize the 2 blank ones! I used a star punch and put them on a 1 inch book ring. Then I thought I can use the new "Treat Slider Box Die" and put the reward ring in it! It fit PERFECTLY!! I was so excited because I LOVE this little box!! WARNING picture heavy!!

Okay I don't want to keep you so for my card today I decided to use acetate and cut out the larger of the 2 jars out twice. I die cut out different size buttons using the new "Stitched Button Dies" with different papers that coordinate. I then adhered them to the bottom layer of my jar and used glossy accents for the top part of my jar. I wanted the jar to look like a clear glass jar. I used this frosty metallic paper for my lid  and inked it up just a tad.. My CUTE little tag with "Baby" on it is the coordinating set ~ oh wait to you see all the images on it and ALL the dies! I then placed a new "Stitched Doily Die" behind the jar. IT is so BEAUTIFUL ~ wait to you get your hands on this BEAUTY!! Okay all the rest of my materials I will list below!
