Trending Now Thursday ~ Wood & Lace!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Trending Now"! 

I was able to sneak in my craft room while my boys were both napping! They are still under the weather, but getting a little better! THANK YOU for your get well wishes for them! ;) 

Okay for our cards today, we have incorporated some kind of lace & wood! It didn't necessarily have to be actual "wood", some of us also used a woodgrain background as well!

For my card, I was able to wipe the dust off of my veneer wood paper I had picked up from Joann's about 4 or 5 years ago! lol…. I was holding on to it & just KNEW I would use it eventually! ;) I LOVE this stuff because this material cuts w/my dies BEAUTIFULLY! I couldn't find a link to this particular paper, but thanks to my team member Miss Nikki, found some HERE if you want to try it out! 

I LOVE this stuff because you can also heat emboss it too! I'm not sure if you can see it or not,  but I used my Grainy Wood Background stamp & heat embossed it onto that piece of veneer wood that everything is layered on top of! I used a embossing powder from WOW -Vintage Champagne & you can find it HERE!

MCT products used:

~ Bear Dies

~ Beary Special Thoughts

What a Treat Wednesday!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "What a treat Wednesday!"

I am BUMMED because I wasn't able to make anything today :(  Unfortunately I have 2 sick boys today! One has an ear infection & the other has a stomach flu :(  So they will be down for a few days. I am HAPPY that we have NO plans this weekend so if they still don't feel good, they can just REST to be ready for next Monday's school! I will continue to be their nurse & I am  PRAYING that I don't get sick because I have a TRILLION things to do! hehehe! ;)

Made in Minutes!

HAPPY Monday & Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day~! I know this is a holiday for most of us so I hope you are enjoying your day off! ;) 

Welcome to My Creative Time & another "Made in Minutes!" 

Before I get to my design team's AMAZING projects, I just want to give you ALL a quick update on your orders!!! :)  Just so you know, after having a CRAZY BUSY week during release week, I don't go to the post office OR do anything w/the orders on that Friday! Plus, my son who helps me is usually burnt out from his school on Fridays! So we always get a FRESH start on Saturday!  We had LOTS of orders so we did as much as we could & we were able to make a run to the post office w/a good amount of HAPPY MAIL!  Being that it's a holiday today, we will not be able to send out any orders today :(   But, EVERY SINGLE order is processed AND will go out TOMORROW  (Tuesday)!!! YAAAAH!! :)  We did sell out of the bundles, (those were the first to go) and we sold out of the "Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies".   I did make the bundle & the Heart 2 Heart set available for pre-order!  They will be back in stock on February 1, 2015. 

I CANNOT WAIT for you ALL to get your "Happy Mail" & CAN'T WAIT to see what you ALL create w/this SUPER FUN release! 

Okay, w/all that said~! Since we were the entire weekend, by the time we got home last night, I was too tired to make it to my craft room :(  But, like ALWAYS, my AMAZING team has some BEAUTIES to share w/you today! You can click on each name to visit each blog & see how many minutes it took them to complete their projects~! :)

MCT 39th Edition Sneaky Peeks Day 4

GOOD MORNING & welcome to our 4th & final day of our 4th Anniversary Celebration of Sneaky Peeks!!! 

I hope you enjoyed our sneaks for this week!!  We have our last 2 AWESOME sets to share w/you today & I hope you LOVE them as much as my team & myself do! ;)

Today we are showcasing 2 new sets! They are "Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies" which includes a total of 4 dies & "Best Bots Forever" which includes a total of 14 stamps AND 9 coordinating dies!

Okay, I am IN LOVE w/the "Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies!"  I think these would NOT ONLY be AWESOME for Valentine's day, BUT ALSO just make a set of 4 of these & )they do not have to be shaker cards) to give to a friend as a gift to use for note cards! I myself… would LOVE to receive a set of notecards like these! ;) 

I made my card into a shaker card! I cut out the love frame about 3 or 4 times using thick card stock/chip board & adhered them all together & let them dry for about an hour! Then I added the sequins & my card shakes PERFECTLY! ;) I think this is my FAVORITE shaker card I've ever made! ;)  I LOVE it!  You can see in my video below, I added on the inside of the card, the word "you" using my Fun Lowercase Dies! 

Okay, next up is a SUPER CUTIE PATOOTIE set called "Best Bots Forever!" I just LOVE the little robots in this set & it's just PERFECT! :)  I explain how I put these cards together in my video below!

Here is my video for you today!

Okay, NOW, onto my AMAZING design team!  Feel free to click on each name to visit each blog & leave them some bloggy LOVE for a chance to win!!! ;)
