MCT ~ Tag It Tuesday

Good morning! Today is Tag It Tuesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This time around we were asked to follow the sketch provided. I sort of followed it??? I couldn't resist using the chubby bee from the Stitched Bees and Beehive Dies. I just love this little critter! Then I was looking around and saw that I had a scrap piece of the honey comb from the Stitched Honey Comb Dies just lying around and thought why not use it! I just love the word die "Happy" and decided to layer it! I did flip my bow around just to change things up a tad. Something seriously simple but can leave a smile on someone's face right??

Stitched Bees & Beehive Dies

MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Today is Thrifty Thursday over at My Creative Time. This is when Emma and the design team take their scraps, leftover or a recyclable item and use it for our projects. I am always game on using scraps since I seem to have an endless stack!
For my quick and easy project, I thought I would use my scraps to make a note and gift card holder for the back of my box card I made a few weeks ago. Click here for all the details. My paper is from an embossing mistake in my first attempt to make the box card. I just cut it down to fit on the back. Then I used a piece of scrap vellum paper that I used on a project from this post, click here. Since I save the tiniest pieces of paper, I was able to use more scrap for my sentiment too! I will list all the materials below.

This is my project before I attached it to the back of my box card.

Picture of it attached to the box card. LOL!!!

MCT ~ Whatever Wednesday

Good morning! Today over at My Creative Time it's Whatever Wednesday! This is the day that Emma and the design team create whatever we want! Its always fun to follow sketches or color pallets but sometimes you just want to create whatever your heart desires.
Today I couldn't help myself but create a card for someone who just lost their beloved dog. Emma just has the sweetest stamps and dies, Live Love Bark and Loyal Friends, to let someone know that you are thinking of them during this difficult time. I LOVE dies and these are simply ADORBS!! The little paw prints for my background was a fun last minute idea. I know from our past dog, that paw prints were everywhere and thought their prints always will leave a mark in our hearts. I also cant help but to mix older My Creative Time products with newer ones ~ they really are so versatile! Thanks Emma ~ you make creating so easy!

MCT ~ Designer's Challenge

Good morning! Today starts a new Designer's Challenge over at My Creative Time. Emma and the design team will being using a photo for our inspiration.  You can use the water, boat, color palette or all of the above as inspiration. Click here for all the details and we so hope you play along with us!
Obviously you can tell I used the color pallet because there is no plane in the inspiration picture! LOL! But I was inspired by the picture and the boat. You see, our family will be going on vacation this year to a beach and it will be our sons first plane ride. I figure I will be taking pictures or us with him on the plane and this photo totally inspired me of that day. I really can't wait for our vacation especially since I have been starring at this breath taking picture! Sigh
I chose to do a smash kind of layout. I tend to want to add everything but the kitchen sink to my creations and I really loved these colors! My plan is to add any extra pictures and scanning our boarding passes into the Scalloped Stitched Envelope Die.  The I am so excited because I actually have a layout done before an event instead of years behind! Whoo Hoo!

I thought I would make a quick and corky birthday card for a special person in my life who LOVES flip flops and the color purple! Yes ~ I said purple! The color, most of you already know, I struggle the with!
Since this special person LOVES flip flops, I had to use the new stamp and die set Sit Back & Relax. I embossed them with white embossing powder and added two different colors flowers to the tops. See this special person wears different colored socks and I thought why not make her flip flops not match! LOL! Just a real simple, quick and no frills card.

MCT ~ Try Me Tuesday

Hello! Today is Try Me Tuesday over at My Creative Time. This is when Emma and the design team try a new technique. Sometimes it is one we have done in the past or something totally new. I must admit most of these techniques are new to me, so I am always super excited for these days!
So this time around we were asked to make a box card. I, of course, have never tried one of these before so I am super excited for this. Click here for a video on how to make one. I also must admit I might be hooked on these!
I have been wanting to use the my Stitched File Folder & Index Card Dies and Typewriter Die for some time now. I fell in love with the Build A Scripty & Watercolor Backgrounds from the May release and knew the "thanks" die from the Happy Thoughts set would be a fun combination together! I used foam, die cut twice and layered on top of each other, to give it extra dimension! LOVE this look and the best part is the foam matched PERFECTLY with my PTI paper! Love when this happens!
