MCT ~ April Sneak Peak Day #3

Welcome to Day # 3 of the My Creative Time Sneak Peeks! I hope you everyone is LOVING the sneaks so far, I know I am! Well today may just knock your socks off! Emma blew my mind when I saw these 2 sets and instantly fell in love! Today we will be showcasing the Stitched Pretty Flower & Leaves Dies and Wishing You Were Here ( includes coordinating dies).

For my card today I used the Wishing You Were Here set. I LOVE this set ( okay I say this all the time but honestly I do) because it has the prettiest font, sentiments and oh my the dies! So I wanted to create a little scene because I wanted to use the patio stamp. For my sentiment, I did mask 2 stamps together from this set. LOVE how Emma's stamps allow you to do that very easily. Oh my I LOVE how this set just blends PERFECTLY together! I wanted to make my bench look a little weathered so I heat embossed the bench part. Not sure I achieved that but I have to say I LOVE how this card turned out. Now for my flowers I used the dies from the Way To Go ( part of this release) and some other dies from previous release that will be listed below.

Materials Used:

Wishing You Were Here

So to make a long story short, my son needs a new bike. He has outgrown his bike for some time. It's actually a Diego bike and he is know 8! Yes ~ he needs a new one.! So I thought it would be awesome to make him a big tag to put in his Easter basket. So what PERFECT timing that Emma has come out with a bike die! Then I used the road from the stamp set Main Street to make a little path! The sentiments are so fun, hence the "Don't Crash" sentiment , I chuckled at that one!

MCT ~ Designer Challenge

Hello! Today starts a new challenge over at My Creative Time! This time the challenge is hosted by the very talented and creative Teri. She has asked the design team to create a scrapbook layout in any size and format of your choice, using a variety of pockets and envelopes. Easy right!

So I have been wanting to scrap these pictures since last year. My brother in law and future sister in law took my son for the day. They called it Ryan Day! It was all about him. What 8 year all doesn't want a day ALL about him! They went to a local family fun center and did all kind of these. Thank goodness my future SIL knows me, she brought back the score card and pencil! I thought the Stitched Bracket Die made a great little pocket, plus it fit the score card PERFECTLY. Then the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die fit a journal card. I put both of these at the top of the page so they can be easily pulled out to look at. I must admit, I cut my paper a little too short and thought how am I going to fix this! So I just took a strip of black paper and white embossed sentiments that I thought fit perfectly for this special day and added a few little hearts to fill in the spaces. LOVE how this looks and I might use it more often in the future.

Materials Used:

Bracket Sentiments

Circle Tab Sentiments

It's All About You

We Are Family

Lot's Of Love

MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Good morning! Today is Thrifty Thursday over at My Creative Time, with Emma and the design team. This is when we get to create any project- card, scrapbook page, or anything, using scraps/leftovers or recycled items. I LOVE when we do this because it challenges us to use those scraps! I have a ton of them!

Besides my card base and the black piece of paper is from scraps. My star embossed piece of paper, forgot to take pictures, I must have stamped a flower background stamp on it. Then the yellow and white pieces of paper are scraps too! Again forgot to get picture. This card was very simple to make, as you can see! LOL

MCT ~ Scrapping The Little Things

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know my family did! We celebrated my mom and her twin sisters 70th birthday! Memories that I will cherish forever.

So lets get right to it today! Today is Scrapping The Little Things over at My Creative Time.
This is when Emma and the design team tries to catch up on our scrapbooks. I decided today I would do a PL page for my sons upcoming baseball season. We have only had one practice so far. April is bringing us lots of rain, but that is okay its better than snow!
I tried to make a baseball field or what I thought it looked like. Well this caused such an up roar in my house ( not really an up roar) but boy my men were trying to tell me how to make it. What they didn't seem to get it was I had to fit my baseball field on the 4x4 Journal Die + More. I did my best and also told them to make their own version! LOL! For my infield, I think that is what its called, the negative part of the Stitched "Capture" Frame with Arrow Die. I pretty much based everything around that. Made my own little bases and a Spellbinders circle for the outfield and pieced everything together. For the words baseball and season, I used the Lowercase Fun Dies. I cut them out in white card stock and foam. I wanted them to have dimension. I used the baseball image from Grand Slam stamp set and just stamped it on the letters. I actually LOVE how this turned out. I will list all the materials used under each card to make it simple.

Materials Used:

4x4 Journal Die + More

Lowercase Fun Dies

Grand Slam

Paper ~ PTI & paper from my stash

Ink ~ Archival

Wink of Stella Pen

Foam

Materials Used:

Stitched "Captured" Frame with Arrow Die

Stitched 4x6 Journal Dies ( numbers)

4x4 Journal Die + More

Vintage Stitched Label Dies

Now for this card I lifted this idea from my boss lady Emma! I couldn't find the post but she used the Spring Chicken Backgrounds for a chain link fence one time! Well I just LOVED that idea!!!! Thanks Emma!

Materials Used:

4x4 Journal Die + More

Scallop & Stitched Circle

Vintage Stitched Label Dies

Spring Chicken Backgrounds

MCT ~ Try Me Tuesday

Good morning! Happy April ~ lets hope Mother Nature decides to come around for ALL of us and bring beautiful weather!!!

Today is Tyr Me Tuesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! This week we will be making a card using masking in some way. There are different ways to mask things. I chose to take the simple route, believe it or not I have never tried this! I used regular old masking tape, some Stampin up ink pads and cardstock! Simple right. Well I LOVED making this card! So simple but fun! I might be doing this more often! Of course I added a ribbon/bow ( when don't I??) but only used one My Creative Time product! How in the world did this happen?? I do LOVE the simplicity of this card!
