Hello everyone and welcome to the My Creative Time "Birthday Bash" Blog Hop! First let me start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the BEST BOSS ever ~ that would be Miss Emma!!

You should have arrived from the super talented Miss Katie's blog, if not that is okay, click here to start over at Emma's blog or at the end of this post there will be a complete blog hop line up!

 

For my card today I wanted to mix some new stamps and dies set with some older ones! I LOVE that Emma's products always work so wonderfully & perfectly together! Of course I will list all materials used below the picture. I will tell you a few things that I did to my card.  I cleared  embossed all the stamps that I used with my heat gun. I seriously am addicted to this technique! The look and feel in person is so cool! I also decided to stamp another banner so I could paper piece it. This way I could curl the ends up just a little for some dimension. I also used a small hole punch so I could thread some hemp for my banner. How cool is that! My little tags with my sentiments are wrapped around unused tooth picks (LOL)! Simple and quick little card for you all today!

MCT 3~D Wednesday

 

 

Good morning! Today is Wednesday and that means its another 3~D Wednesday with Emma, over at My Creative Time,  and the design team! This is when we create anything BUT a card! I LOVE doing 3~D items because they make the perfect little gifts!

 

Since it is Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to make something for my son's teacher. She is seriously the most wonderful teacher and person. Since my son hasn't been in school since last Friday , she was so thoughtful to bring all his school work to him yesterday! Isn't she AMAZING! We not only have been blessed by her but all the teachers in our school district. They all are truly incredible and LOVE their jobs!

 

Onto my project. I couldn't resist to using the "Treat Slider Box" for today's project! You can put nugget candies, gum and so many other things in it. I decided to use the wrappers to cover the little Dove chocolate candies, can't even see the blue foil wrappers. I taped them together in the back and tied some hemp to spruce them up a little bit. Cute right?? I will list the rest of my materials below!

 

 

Materials Used:

 

My Creative Time ~ "Treat Slider Box" ~ box



My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Daisy Die" ~ daisy

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Leaves Dies" ~ leaves



My Creative Time ~ "My Teacher Rocks" ~ sentiment ~ this set has 21 sentiments

Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ~ hemp

Ink Archival

Paper ~ First Edition ~ Spring Fest

Diamond Dust

 

 

Don't forget this Friday is the My Creative Time ~ Birthday Bash ~ hope to see you all!!

 

 

MCT Scrapping The Little Things

Good morning! I know I have been a little MIA lately but with good reason. We all have been under the weather with cold/allergies. I am usually a night owl, but I have been in bed  before 10( if not earlier than that) for the past 2 weeks! Just when I thought we had a handle on things, my son caught a little bug, that he can't seem to shake! Hoping today is the day we say good-bye to all this ~ it's Spring and we haven't really enjoyed it yet!

 

 

Anyway today it "Scrapping The Little Things" with Emma, over at My Creative Time, and the design team! Today is "Nurse's Day" ( HUGE shout out to ALL those wonderful people out there who REALLY do care about their patients) so we will be incorporating anything wellness/health related ~ a doctor visit, recovery, get well, working out into our PL, Smash book or scrapbook layouts. I LOVE Emma's stamps and dies for layouts!

 

I decided to scrap my son's first "boo boo"! He was not even 2 yet and had a mishap with my dad's outside wheelchair! Poor hubs was in a little panic when he called me to tell me this! He also was feeling a tad guilty ~ not like he let him do this on purpose or anything ~ accidents happen! Lets just say this day is something I never want to repeat but grateful it wasn't anything too serious!

 

I will list all my materials below the picture. I also would like to reminding everyone that Miss Glora is hosting the Designer Challenge this time around! Click here for all the details. I hope to actually play along too! Fingers crossed we get back to normal real soon!

 

 

Materials Used:

 

My Creative Time ~ "Journal It Stamp" ~ on the side with date

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Journal Die" ~ on the side & I used it to journal the day

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched "Capture" Frame with Arrow Dies" ~ 2 frames & arrow

My Creative Time ~ "Life Is Good Stamp Set" ~ "Here's The Story" & "All Boy" sentiments

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Ticket Dies" ~

My Creative Time ~ "Pain, Pain Go Away Stamp Set" ~ sentiment on green frame & band aid

My Creative Time ~ "Vintage Stitched Label Dies" ~ labels for sentiments on frames

My Creative Time ~ "Lowercase Fun dies" ~ letters

Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ~ hemp and colored burlap ( tired to make this look like the strips they used to hold his stitches together ~ LOL)
Paper ~ DCWV, Simple Stories, Paper Trey Ink, & My Minds Eye
Ink ~ Archival
Versa mark and clear embossing powder

Make sure you head on over to Emma's blog ~ I can't wait to see what everyone has created! I also hope to slowly get to some blogs this week! I apologize for being so behind! I miss seeing all your creations!

 

 Have a GREAT day!

MCT ~ Scrapping The Little Things

Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We did except it was cold and we had some snow flurries here! Crazy right??? It was cold enough here that I actually made a pot of chili! Just a few days earlier it was 80 degrees! Western Pa weather is something else!

Anyway today is "Scrapping The Little Things" over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. Since it is Earth Day we decided to use something recycled on our pages. I decided to use a pair of old jeans of my sons and some chip board for my layout.  I LOVE Emma's new " Stitched Journal Die" and "Journal It Stamp Set" .  I love the fact that Emma's "new" stamps and dies work so PERFECTLY with her older stamps and dies! I will list all the other details below my picture, it is so much easier to do and less time for you all to read! I also will announce my winners from my guest Design spot over at Joy's blog, Obsessed With Scrapbooking, as well!

For my project I used the new "Stitched Daisy Die" and it comes in three separate parts! I have to tell you when I first saw this I was so excited! First my FAVORITE flower is a daisy! Seriously! I LOVE the regular plain old daisy! Then one of my ALL time FAVORITE movie is "Please, Don't Eat the Daisies" starring Doris Day! It's an oldie but the cutest movie ever! I decided to cut the actual petal part out 2 times. I layered the petals but curled the top petals for a little dimension. I pop dotted my center. For my frame, I used the new "Stitched "Capture" Frame with Arrow Die". This FABULOUS die comes with the frame and an arrow. Even though I didn't use the arrow for my project today ~ I can see that arrow coming in handy for so many things in the future! My sentiment is from the new stamp set "Life Is Good" stamp set. I just fell in love with this sentiment, actually ALL the sentiments from this stamp set are so awesome! I will list all my materials below.

HAPPY HOPPING! 

Sweet Mom Card

Happy Friday! Kim here, from Scrapin Mom Of One Inspiring Little Boy. Today is my last day as guest designer at Obsessed With Scrapbooking.  I want to thank you all for making this such a fun week for me! I have enjoyed reading all of your sweet comments. A HUGE Thank You to Joy for graciously inviting me this whole week ~ huge hugs to you!

Okay there are a ton of things going on today, so I promise not to keep you all long! I have shared cards this week that revolve around events that are coming up in my life, using My Creative Time's new release. This last card is for someone extremely precious to me ~ my Mom! She has been through a great deal the past few years. She always has her chin up and forges forward! She is such a "SWEET" and giving person. I don't tell her enough how much I love her!

I bought the cartridge, Spring Cottage, specifically for the window cut and never even opened the box! Sad, right?? So since I like my cards with dimension, I cut it out 2 times, so I could pop dot it and add acetate for the glass look! I don't think you can even see this in my picture.  This cut has a flower box, leaves(??), and flowers (which I did not cut out). I cut the leaves out 2 times because I wanted a fuller look. Then I decide my flower box need to be scored, just to add a little detail! I inked everything up! My little flowers are from scraps from the "Stitched Button Dies" that I had laying around. The sentiment "Sweet"  is from the new stamp set "Life is Good". My "mommy" sentiment is from an oldie, but goody, "Mom You Rock" . I did emboss the background with a new folder I bought awhile ago. Of course my little signs are from dies, and I will list them below! The BEAUTIFUL button and hemp are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.  I hope my mom likes her card.

Materials Used:

Cricut Cartridge ~ Spring Cottage ~ window, leaves and flower box

My Creative Time ~ "Life Is Good" ~ Sweet sentiment

My Creative Time ~ "Mom You Rock" ~ mommy sentiment

My Creative Time ~ "Chunky Jars Accessories" ~ die with mommy on it

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Ticket Die" ~ ticket 

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Button Dies" ~ flowers

Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ~ clear button and hemp

Paper ~ Paper Trey Ink & Acetate and scraps for my  stash for the flowers

Embossing folder from the James' Set

Ink ~ Archival and Tim Holtz

 Ribbon from Paper Trey Ink

"Best Day Ever"

If your looking for the My Creative Time April Sneak Peek Day #4, click here. 


Good morning, this is Kim from Scrapin Mom of One Inspiring Little Boy.  Today is my fourth day guest designing at Joy's blog! I must say, I have been enjoying reading your comments ~ Thank You so much!

Today I will be showcasing the new stamp set from My Creative Time's  release,  "We Are Family".  I have a sweet friend who is getting married late Spring. So I thought I would think ahead and make her a wedding easel card. Well when I first saw these little potty people, I had to use them with the sentiment "Best day EVER!" on these little banner dies. I think they work so wonderfully together. I knew that the Tie The Knot cartridge has the CUTEST church and wanted my happy couple to be in it. So after cutting out my church,  I thought it needed a little something ~ but what? My church needed some siding! I just scored some lines for a little dimension. The pictures don't do it justice at all but I love it in person.  I decided to accent my windows and bell with hearts. Of course I couldn't leave with out adding an adorable stitched little cloud ~ love clouds! 

For the inside of the easel card I couldn't resist using an older but PERFECT sentiment with the "Stitched Ticket Die". I hope my friend and her new hubby like their card, but most importantly that they have a future filled with happiness! 

Material Used:

Cricut Cartridge ~ Tie The Knot ~ church (cut @ 5.33)

My Creative Time ~ "We Are Family" ~ potty people & sentiment on church

My Creative Time ~  "Fly Away With Me Sentiments ~ banner die

My Creative Time ~ "Fly Away With Me Dies" ~ clouds

My Creative Time ~ "Stitched Layering Heart Dies" ~ heart on windows, bell and inside

My Creative Time ~ "Many Greetings" ~ sentiment on inside

My Creative Time ~ " Stitched Ticket Dies" ~ tickets

Paper ~ Paper Trey Ink, Bella Carta (Devoted) EP ( bought at Liz's Paper Loft Boutique)

Ink ~ Archival, Versa Mark and  Stampin Up

Clear Embossing powder

Ribbon from my stash
