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:

~ Tag Dies

~ Just Simply Live

~ Chunky jar accessories

~ To my best peep

~ Color me happy

~ Burlap

~ Green & blue thick hemp

~ Flowers (for bunny tail)

~ Stitched doily dies

~ "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!

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!!

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:

~ Stitched lollipop holder die

~ Chocolate greetings (banner)

~ To my best peep

~ White Boa (from Joann's)

Happy Monday! Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another "Scrapping the little things!" I'm going to keep this SHORT & SWEET because I have to actually go to bed! lol.... I had a VERY LATE start since I was busy working on "taxes" this weekend & lost track of time! Taxes = NOT MY FAVORITE THING! :( You can see in my video below how I put my "Burlap" layout together!

I think I called this a "canvas" layout in my video, but I MEANT to say "Burlap" layout! ;) I ALSO got to share in my video my new favorite tool by "Clover", the pom pom maker! Thanks to Miss Lori Allred & a little enabling, I picked them up & I LOVE them! You can see how to make them HERE!
