Lets get started! Today Emma and the design team will be sneaking "Happy Thoughts" and "You are Fabulous" stamp sets. I used both of these stamp sets for my card today. I needed to make Ryan's coach a "Thank You" card and wanted to use his team colors. I LOVE how big the sentiments are in the You are Fabulous and all the fun images coordinate with existing dies, like the stars I have on my card. My "Thanks" die cut is from the Happy Thoughts.

MCT ~ Inspiration Wednesday

Happy hump day! Today is Inspiration Wednesday over at My Creative Time. This is when Emma and the design team make a project of our choice based on an inspiration subject.
Today my inspiration subject is about a sweet high school friend and her last day of chemotherapy. Her positive attitude, her strength and her courage is truly beyond words.

For my project I decided to make a bulls eye using the Fun Bunch of Circle Dies. I thought they were PERFECTLY lined for a bulls eye! I LOVE how they have stitching and some pierced holes! I wanted the date to be center focus so I used the Vintage Stitched Label Die two times, scored the white one and just layered the pink one for some dimension. Then I pulled out Chocolate Greeting stamp and die set. I cut the little banner die 3 times. Again added some dimension the date and thought I could use the third one for an arrow. Just a simple card for a sweet friend. The rest of my materials I will list below.

Make sure you check out all the design teams projects, just in case you happen to stumble on my blog. Click here.

Materials Used:

Fun Bunch of Circle Dies

Vintage Stitched Label Dies

Paper ~ PTI and Stampin Up

MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Hello everyone! I know I have been a tad mia lately but with the school year ending, baseball, craft room renovation and our school picnic, this girl is one busy & tired mom!

So today over at My Creative Time, Emma and the design team are trying our best to use our scraps. I have tons of scrap pieces of paper in various shapes and sizes. I seem to keep everything! If I don't like how I stamped a background, I save that piece for a later use. I even save the tiniest piece of paper because they are PERFECT for Emma's dies! Well today I put a itty bitty teeny weeny dent in mine. Besides the card base everything was from scrap and I TOTALLY forgot to take pictures!

Well I just ADORE the new Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy stamp set and the Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies. I LOVE the butterflies and the coordinating stamps for them. I think the sentiments are so perfect for so many occasions. Plus we know how much I LOVE Emma's dies! Just a real simple and quick card!

Materials Used:

Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy

Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies

Fun Stitched Edger Dies

Square Stitched Goody Dies

Paper ~ PTI

Ribbon ~ PTI

MCT ~ Scrapping The Little Things

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a beautiful weekend! I know we did! I finally got my floor in my craft room put down! I am over the moon, even though I am far away from it being done. It's been a slow process but us DYI people here it's a tad hard between work and our baseball schedule. But eventually it will get done, right?

It's Scrapping The Little Things over at My Creative Time. With that said this is when Emma and the design team are get caught up on our scrap books. I chose to do a very simple layout! I wanted to use some things from the newest release. You can click here to see the entire release and purchase it.

I chose this random picture of my son. We were watching a movie one night and I just happened to look over and someone, besides me, fell asleep during it! So I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture. I actually took 2 pictures and developed the wrong one, oh well.

I LOVE these dragonfly dies from Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies. I thought I would add them to add a little whimsy to my page. Miss Emma also came out with the Speech Bubble Sentiments. This set has coordinating dies and sentiments. I just LOVE this set too! I die cut the "you are" multiple times and glue them together, to add some dimension. The sentiments were a perfect way to tell my son how I feel about him. I could have used almost all of the sentiments from this set to describe my feelings towards him. I also used a ribbon punch that I found while packing and moving my craft room. I don't think I have ever used this before EVER! LOL!
