My Creative Time's Farewell Blog Hop

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to our "Farewell Blog Hop".

Today is a "bittersweet" day for us here at My Creative Time.  I have mentioned earlier this month that there were going to be some changes for the new year & this is one of them.  

Having 18 design team members has gotten to be sooo much for me.  My goal for the new year is to have a smaller team & that means letting some team members go :(  I have tried to make a video for this blog hop at least 3 times & just could not do it.  It was too emotional for me because this was the hardest decision I had to make.  Unfortunately this is why there is no video for you today :(

 Some of these ladies have been w/me since the beginning & I consider us family here at MCT.   So this post is going be hard to get through :'(  I decided not to do another design team call because that is a lot of work & I am really busy with my boys right now.  These ladies that are part of this blog hop today will NOT be gone forever!  They are a part of my new "Alumni Team!"  This means they will guest design for me sporadically throughout the year & they will also be part of a few blog hops!  These ladies are AMAZINGLY TALENTED & I KNOW they will be picked up by other design teams asap!  So hopefully their new teams will let them do the guest spots for me.  "My Creative Time" would NOT be the same without them!  If I could keep ALL 18 members, I TOTALLY would, but unfortunately, I can't.  So I thought having this "Alumni Team" would be GREAT! 

For this hop,  I thought the theme should be a "Friendship" theme which is very fitting for this hop.  

Here is my card I created! I wanted to do some watercoloring for it & I love the way it came out.  I thought having the butterflies hang off the card would look pretty.  Since I used soft colors for the watercoloring, I thought this card needed some vellum butterflies layered on top of the yellow & turquoise butterflies to soften the card.  To add a little something extra, I used my fun stitched edge die for the scallop edge. 

 Here is the inside of the card:

36th Edition Release Sneak Peek Day #1

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our FIRST day of sneaky peeks for our 36th Edition release!  First off, I just want to apologize to ALL of you now because my regular video camera died :(  I had to do this video holding my iPad in one hand & that explains the shaky video :( HOPEFULLY I will have a new one SOON! 

Okay, on a BETTER note, we are showcasing today a brand new set of dies that some of us already have been "pre-sneaking!" It is called "Stitched Rectangular Frames Dies & More". This set consists of a total of 11 dies! YEP, 11 dies! It has 3 frames, a layered set of a new label die set and 6 word dies! This is is SO MUCH FUN! As you can see, I made 3 cards, I just couldn't help myself! ;) 

For my first card, I used one of the new frames & it's size is 4 x 5 1/4. It will layer perfectly onto a regular A2 size card!  I also used the new layered label dies in this set! 

I just LOVE how all of my existing sets ALWAYS coordinate PERFECTLY w/my new items! Here I used my existing "Loyal Friends" for the cute doggy, bone & speech bubble die! I also used my "Classy Girl Accessories Die set" for the cute witch hat the cutie doggy is wearing! The sentiment is from my "Mixed Holiday Sentiments". 

For my next card, I just nestled the 3 frames all together & cut out all of these colors separately! When I get a regular working video camera again, I will better explain to you exactly HOW I made the borders! The "hi" is one of the new word dies in this set! The leaves are from my "Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies". 

Last, but certainly not least, for this next card, I wanted to keep it SUPER SIMPLE! 

The "thank you" are 2 more dies that are included in this set! I just paired it up w/the CUTE pencil die from my "Love to Learn" set!  I added the cute sequins & called it a day!

OH, I'm now sure how well it's showing up in this picture, but I also used a tim holts stencil that has stars on it for my background! I used the clear embossing paste for it!  Like I said, I wanted to keep it simple! ;)

Here is my SHORT video for you. Like I said above, my regular video camera has gone to heaven :(  I TRIED reviving it, but it's gone.  I apologize again for this shaky video, I had to do it w/my iPad & I don't have a steady hand to hold it straight :( 

Now onto my AMAZING design team! Don't forget to click on each name because a few of them have another project on their blog waiting for you! :)
