Inspiration Wednesday

Good morning my sweet creative friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday"!  If you are new to my blog, every other Wednesday we create something that we are inspired from! For today, I was inspired by the colors in my craft room! I recently had this unit made because this little corner in my craft room was driving me nuts because it was SOOO "Non-functional"! I am SO HAPPY NOW that it is a functional area & I LOVE it!  As soon as I finish "purging" AND reorganizing, I will definitely do another "updated" craft room tour! I've been getting several requests for it, but wasn't ready because I KNOW I have to clean it! LOL…….
So anyways, I basically just used these fun & bright colors to decorate my lollipop holder for you today! 


Here is another pic a little sideways so you can see the lollipop on the inside! :)

Designer Challenge ~ Miss Kim 3/21

Good morning! This is Kim here. I am so excited to be hosting this Designer Challenge for My Creative Time! Emma is so sweet to allow us DT's to take over her blog! Thanks Emma!
So for this time around I have decided to do a Tic~Tac~Toe Challenge! All you have to do is pick a row from the chart below (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) and incorporate those three items on your project! You are free to use anything in addition, just be sure the three items in the row you chose is included! I would also like to give a shout out & big thanks to Miss Shar ~ she made the chart in word for me!
So I looked at my choices from the chart and decided to do the first horizontal row. I of course used my FAVORITE dies (and stamps) out there ~ My Creative Time. They can be used for so many different projects, plus they have Emma's signature stitching!
I decided to dry and heat emboss on my card. I used a Cuttlebug folder for my dry emboss and inked it up with some chalk. Then I heat embossed the little house and wagon. The house is from the stamp set "Home Sewn" and my wagon is from "Piles Of Smile" . I decided to emboss the wheels & the handle in black and my wagon in brown. I know it is hard to see from the picture.  For my bling part I used the CUTE little heart button from "Stitched Button Dies" and added some glitter.

After I finished my card I realized I actually did the first horizontal row,  first vertical row and both ways of the diagonal rows! You do NOT have to do that but I tend to add everything but the kitchen sink to my cards. I just LOVE using my MCT products.

My pattern papers are from the Teresa Collins paper "Far and Away". I used some thin hemp for my heart /button.  These 2 items can be purchased at Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. The stitched hearts that are in my wagon from "100% Sweetness" . If you look real close, the gray heart has the "Script Background" stamp on it.  I used the "XL Label Die" and the "Stitched XL Label Die" as well. My sentiment is from "Home Sewn" and stamped on the  die from the "Chocolate Greeting" die. I wanted to layer that with the "Stitched Vintage Label Dies" ~ I just cut off the one end. They fit PERFECTLY together! As for my stitching I used the stitching stamp from the  "Gift Card Sentiments" .
 I also used paper and ribbon from PTI.

A real fun and easy challenge for you to join in right? We would LOVE to see what you all create for this Designer Challenge ~ Tic~Tac~Toe! Now for rest of the creative and talented design team!

Scrapping the little things!




GOOD MORNING my sweet creative friends! Welcome to another "Scrapping the little things". Today my design team have some fun "spring/easter" scrapbook layouts, project life & smashbooking pages for you. For my page today, I decided to do an 8x8 layout! For those of you who have been following me for awhile now, you all know that I prefer 8x8 pages over 12x12 pages anytime! ;) In "my" opinion, I just think 8x8 pages are MUCH easier for ME because the area I need to work with is the perfect size! :)

You can see in my video below exactly how I put my page together!

Supplies used:
~ "So Noted" 6x6 paper pad
~ Tim Holtz Hinge Clips

Here is my video for you today! :)

Now onto my AWESOME design team!








I hope you ALL enjoyed what you saw here today AND I hope you are all inspired to do a litte "scrapping" yourselves!

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!
Also, if you haven't already seen my MCT Facebook page, I am giving away a "Treat Slider Die"! Yep, you heard right! I felt REALLY bad about the delay w/your orders, even though it was out of my control, I still felt bad & wanted to make it up to you "some way"!;) All you have to do is go HERE to my MCT facebook page, & follow the directions on what to do in order to qualify for this fantastic prize! Well, I couldn't stop there, as ALOT of you know, your orders are on their way to you as I type! Alot of you may have already received them, if not, you should be getting them VERY SOON!;)  To also make up for the delay in orders, I'd thought it would be fun to include a $25 gift card to my store to TWO LUCKY SHOPPERS! Of course, I couldn't pick & choose WHO would get them, so I had my boys help me out w/this one! They each randomly chose a package & included the $25 gift card w/your order! SOOO, with that said, make sure you check your happy mail very well before throwing away your package! WHOEVER my 2 lucky winners are, when you do receive it, can you "Pretty Please" take a picture of your gift card holder I made & email it to me OR put it on my facebook page? I was bummed that I forgot to take pics of them because I thought they came out REALLY CUTE, BRIGHT & HAPPY! :) When you all get your orders PLEASE share your projects using your NEW MCT products w/us on my facebook page here!

Designer Challenge ~ Miss Cathryn


Welcome to My Creative Time's Designer Challenge.  This is Cathryn from In The Pink and I am thrilled that it is my turn to host!  My Challenge is to make something Spring Related and be sure to have a Die cut  on it somewhere!
I decided this would be my challenge because I NEED the warm weather to get started.  When the end of winter drags on I start to be inneed of some serious outside time!  I thrive on sunshine, green grass and flowers!  I think I can see some of my plants starting to poke up through the soil so I'm sure spring is just about here!
 I used quite a few of Emma's dies on my two projects.  They all go so nicely together!


I layered the "Scallop and Stitched Circle dies" on top of the "Vintage Stitched Label Die".  These made a nice backround for the flower which is from Emma's "Rolled Flower Dies".  Inside the package are Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds.  I got them at a local shop and they are delicious!  The packaging was not very pretty so I tore it off and made my own.


I attached the flower with a glue gun so it was sure to stay on securely.  The cute little bunny is a charm attached with some pretty hemp. The bunny die is in "To My Best Peep" stamp and die set. I embossed it with some UTEE for extra durability and shine. 
 

The flower is sprinkled with some Diamond Dust to give it some sparkle.


I used the banner die from "Chocolate Greetings" to put "Thanks" on the top and the Thanks is from "Chunky Jar Accessories".  The bottom banner is from "Vintage  Stitched Label Dies" and the Sentiment is from "More of My Favorite Sayings".
I used my sewing machine to zigzag stitch aroung the entire card and also to straight stitch the burlap in place.
List of Supplies:
All Stamp and Die sets are available at My Creative Time
True Friends 6x6 paper pad, Carta Bella and Hemp  -  Liz's Paper Loft Boutique
Lavendar Moon and White Card Stock  -  Papertrey Ink
Rose Leaf Punch  -  MS Crafts
UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)
Burlap and Sparkly Pompom  -  Michaels
Heart Pins  -  Dritz
White Crinkle Ribbon and Bazzill Button
Fresh Picked Raspberry Distress Ink

Now here are the wonderful projects for today's challenge from the MCT Design Team!!
We would love to see what you come up with for this "Spring Theme" Challenge!  Add your project with Mr. Linky below!!!
Have a Great Day!
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)







Miss Emma (it's ME) ;) 
Isn't this challenge by Miss Cathryn SUPER FUN? I made my FAVORITE EVER lollipop holder!
My "Stitched Lollipop Holder" die has to be one of my best dies ever! It is the PERFECT small gift for your classmates, teachers, mail lady/man, family members etc..... I've even used them for place cards on the dining table for any occasion! The last thing I made w/these were birthday favors for a friend! This die can be used for SOOOO MUCH & I just love it! Even though this die made it debut 1 1/2 year ago, it's STILL my go to die.  Basically I just used pop dots to pop everything up & added my favorite boa to the bottom!

I never used boa on this particular die before & just LOVE the way it looks all fluffy & adorbs!;) 

Supplies I used:
~ White Boa (from Joann's)

Here is my short & sweet video for you today!
