MCT 5 Days of Christmas Day 1

Welcome to the 1st day of My Creative Time's 5 Days of Christmas.

Are you looking for some fun Christmas ideas. Well Emma's blog will be the place to find TONS of inspiration and some fun prizes too.

I made this simple little Hand Sanitzer holder for my project today. Emma's My Creative Time products make these projects SO easy.

I saw my design team sister, Cassandra, add one of the cute bows to one of these and knew I had to borrow the idea. You can see some she did HERE. I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder for the holder, the Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die for the bow and one of the awesome ornament dies from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp and die set. 

Make sure to check out what the other designers have for you today on the My Creative Time Blog. Hugs- Glora

There will be a giveaway each day & a winner will be announced each day! Example, winner of Monday will be announced on Tuesday, winner of Tuesday will be announced on Wednesday.....and so on! 

You will see the different prizes each day on Emma's blog HERE! I hope we ALL inspire you this week! 

Winter Gift Tags

It is time for another Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. This challenge will be hosted by Katie. Katie's challenge is to make a winter/holiday tag or tags using some My Creative Time products.

I made a small set of coordinating 4 tags. Each tag uses the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies and the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Dies by My Creative Time. They all also use some pretty trendy twine and some seam binding ribbon.

These tags used the All Around Holidays stamp set for the winter wishes sentiment. I used some snowflake bling for the middle.

These tags used the All Around Christmas stamp set for the sentiment and the cute snowman.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to join in on the challenge and to get some more fun gift tag inspiration. Hugs- Glora

Fall Bookmark

My daughter LOVES to read and I find her stuffing just about anything in her books to mark her place so I decided to make her this fun fall bookmark. She loves it and has used it faithfully.

I used the Clearly Autumn Quart Jar Contents by Peachy Keen Stamps for the pinecones. Aren't they fun? I also used some of my Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ribbons and hemp to finish it off. It was simple and easy but has been put to very good use.

Have a terrific day. Hugs- Glora

PKS November Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Today is the 3rd day of sneak peeks for the November stamp release at Peachy Keen Stamps. I am just having SO much fun with these adorable stamps. I hope you are loving everything that all of the talented PKS ladies have put together for you.

This sweet little card is made using images from the November 2013 SKOTM. These little snow people are on little stands normally but I just trimmed the stand off so that they could be regular little snow people.  The sentiment is from the Putsen and Jud Snow Couple stamp set.

I colored these with Copics and cut them out. I also hand cut some snow mounds for my little scene. The awesome frame die that I cut out in red patterned paper is by My Creative Time and so is the little tab I have my sentiment on. They are the Stitched Tab Die and the Stitched Capture Frame with Arrow Die. I also used some pretty seam binding ribbon to tie it off.

Make sure to check out all the other fun project on the Peachy Keen Stamps website. Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

School Teacher Gift Tag

It is Tag it Tuesday at My Creative Time which was perfect because I needed to make a gift tag for a bag of supplies I was sending to school with my daughter. I had seen this darling tag that my DT sister, Katie, had made with the Stitched File Folder and Index Card Dies and wanted to make something similar for this gift. You can see Katie's darling tag HERE.

We wrote a note inside and stamped a few things on the outside. The sentiment is from Thank You Hugs stamp set and the cute pencil is from the All Around Everything Accessories stamp set. The hemp is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. Her shop is only going to be open a few more days and she has all remaining stock at 40% off, so hop on over quick to see what she has left.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see some other fun tags. Hugs- Glora

BOO Halloween Layout

Happy Monday. Today is Scrappin' the Little Things at My Creative Time. I have a Halloween layout to share with you. It coordinates with another layout I made last year so now I have a great double page layout.

I used some new and some old My Creative Time products to make my layout. The BOO stamp is from the Treats for My Sweet stamp set and the 'You're So cute...' sentiment is from the new Spooky Starry Night stamp set. I used the Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies for the ghosts and the Stitched Tab Die for the tab. The two photo spots across the bottom were made using the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. The ghost faces all come from a Peachy Keen Stamps face assortment called the Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment. I used some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique too.

I hope you will get a chance to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone else has made as well. Hugs- Glora

Simple Card for a Special Occasion

This one pretty much speaks for itself. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. Then I used some seam binding ribbon and a gold flower from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. Have a beautiful Sunday! Hugs- Glora

Birdy Happy Birthday!

I have a quick birthday card to share with you today.

I used the Birthday Buddies Stamp Set by My Creative Time for all of the stamped images. I embossed the pink background and added some white chalk ink to make it pop. I tied it off with some seam binding ribbon and a pretty little plastic flower from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique!

Have a TWEET day! Hugs- Glora

Happy Birthday Kitty Tag

Today is the last day of sneak peeks over at Peachy Keen Stamps. Tomorrow will be the big release party on the Peachy Keen Connection as well as the official release.

I made this cute little tag using 3 of the new sets. I used the Cat Background, the August 2013 SKOTM, and the I Didn't Do It stamp sets. I also used 2 My Creative Time Dies: the Tag Dies and the Vintage Stitched Label Dies. I used some orange sheer ribbon I had on hand along with some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Don't forget to check out all of the AMAZING peeks over on the PKS blog. Hugs- Glora

PKS August Release Sneak - 3 Little Kittens

Welcome to the 3rd day of Peach Keen Stamps sneak peeks. For my project today I made a card using a new stamps set called I Didn't Do It. 

The first kitten on the left is made using the face that is included in this set, the other two are using faces from the August 2013 SKOTM. They are a little larger face stamp but I think they still look super sweet on these kittens. I paper pieced and chalked my kitties and then I added some glossy accents to the eyes. The girl kitten in the middle got a little hemp twine bow in her hair. I didn't stamp a sentiment because it was just a note card for a cat loving friend of mine. The paper is from the Pet Mat Stack by DCWV.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak of mine. Make sure to check out the other sneaks on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. Hugs- Glora

Congratulations on Your New Baby Boy!

Happy Monday, today I'm designing over at the Peachy Keen blog and I have a shape card to share with you.

I will be getting a new nephew this week and was excited to make a special card for the occasion.  I made this card using my Silhouette. I love how easy it is to make shape cards with a perfect little shadow using that machine. The svg file is from Lettering Delights and is from the Playful Stringbeans set. The little stitched die that has the sentiment stamped on it, is a die from the Chocolate Greetings set by My Creative Time. The oh so cute face is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The darling sentiment is from the May 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month, also by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some faux stitching with my Sakura Gelly Roll Pen, you can also pick those up at Peachy Keen Stamps. I finished it off with a few buttons, a little bit of chalk for the cheeks and some Glossy Accents for the eyes.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs- Glora

MCT 25th Release Sneak Peek Day 4

Happy Monday and welcome to day four of sneak peeks over at My Creative Time. I'm always in need of baby cards so I made up a girl and a boy version of the same card using all the same products.

The awesome hemp twine and seam binding ribbon are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I used quite a few MCT products on these. Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Connection New Release Challenges

The new Peachy Keen Stamps release is now available along with an awesome sale! If you haven't looked yet you will definitely want to check it out HERE. This evening we also started our new release party and  have started up the challenges over on the Peachy Keen Connection. There are some fun challenges and if you play along you have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate, so make sure to join in on the fun.

Challenge #1 is being hosted by Lorie Souther and it is a Christmas in July challenge. The twist on the challenge is to use NON-TRADITIONAL Christmas colors for your project. I made a tag of pink and blue:

For this tag I used Smitten Mittens by Peachy Keen Stamps. The tags are some dies by Emma at My Creative Time and they are called XL Label Die and Stitched XL Label Die. The pretty seam binding ribbon and hemp twine are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Challenge #2 is being hosted by Cindy and it is a Summer Vacation themed project. 

I couldn't get this card out of my head when I was thinking about the challenge so I just had to make it up. We used to pack up all 10 of us (8 children and my parents) in our station wagon, dad would pack the luggage on top and then we would head out on our summer vacation. We had all sorts of adventures and this brings back a lot of memories.

I recently got the Stringbeans collection from Lettering Delights. They are SO cute (especially with a Peachy Keen Face). I'm excited to use these files some more. The Station Wagon is also from Lettering Delights and is called Stringbean Wagon (it was their freebie of the week a week ago but now you can purchase it HERE). The suitcases are called Stacked Suitcases and are by Miss Kate's Cuttables. All of these are SVG's cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I hid the face on the man and stamped it with the Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The "Happy Trails Sentiment" comes for the Peachy Keen Stamps, Happy Trails Spaceship. The brown piece it is stamped on is a die from My Creative Time. It is part of a set called Just Simply Live.

Please come on over and join in the fun!!!! Hugs- Glora

Don't forget about the awesome sales over at Peachy Keen Stamps.

And next week will be the start of My Creative Time's 25th release and believe me it is a good one! Make sure to join us for that too.

Happy Summer!

Today is the 3rd day of Sneak Peeks at Peachy Keen Stamps. This new stamp kit of the month is full of summer, vacation, and beach fun! I love it. The add on sets are AWESOME too.

I made this card with a family of star fish...

All of the stamps are from the June 2013 SKOTM, I used sandpaper for my sand. The seashells were part of a sequin pack I picked up years ago at Walmart. I tied it off with some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

I also made a couple of cards for fun. I thought I could take them when we go on vacation and my girls could color them up, write a note inside and tell the recipient that they could cut out the puzzle.

This one is a 3" Puzzle stamp and the black images are from the June 2013 SKOTM.

This one is a 4" Puzzle stamp and it was made using the June 2013 SKOTM along with the Fish Bowl stamp.

I hope you enjoy these and make sure to stop and see what the other PKS designer's have made with these amazing stamps HERE. Hugs- Glora

My Teacher Rocks! - Teacher Appreciation

I just wanted to share with you the last couple of things that we did for Teacher Appreciation Week.

I made this card for my daughter's teacher and included a note and a gift card.

The cut is from the Recess Cricut cartridge. I made it into a girl cut instead of a boy cut by using the hair from the girl that sits at a desk on that cartridge. This super cute face that makes it look like she is reading out loud  is from Peachy Keen Stamps The Moodies 1 1/8" face stamps. The book title is from My Creative Time's My Teacher Rocks! stamp set. I did some faux stitching and used my Versamarker as well. Oh yes and those darling little flowers in her hair can be found at Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Here is the cute card that my daughter drew for her teacher:

And last of all we gave her about 20 homemade cards and envelopes in a bag with a topper.

The cute star on the topper is a stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps called You are a Star.

Have a great day and I will see you Wednesday for the PKS and SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop. Hugs- Glora

PKS Sneak Peeks Day 3

Well we are already on day 3 of sneak peeks for Peachy Keen Stamps newest release. Aren't these babies and farm animals the CUTEST? I hope you have been enjoying the sneak peeks as much as I have.

For my projects today I made some bookmarks for my girls

All the stamps come from the May 2013 SKOTM. I just love these farm animals SO much! They have such cute accessories too! I colored them both with Copics. I added some ribbon and some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.  The tags, hearts and banner's are all dies by My Creative Time and you can find them in her store HERE.

There is also this awesome circle with a heart in the SKOTM. It is actually meant to be a wheel for the wagon/stroller but I thought it would make a cute background for either a wedding or anniversary card. So here is my CAS card that took about 5 minutes to make and everything stamped on it is from the May 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps too.

Make sure to stop by the PKS blog to see what other awesome projects the other designer's have for you. Have a great evening! Hugs- Glora

Cute as Can Bee Tag

I'm also popping by to share a tag that I made using some older My Creative Time dies called Just Tags and some new Peachy Keen Stamps that will be available for sale tomorrow.

The little bee was a freebie from one of the last sales at PKS and is PK-199 Baby Bee. I love this little cutie. The sentiment is from a new set of Peachy Keen Stamps called Honey Sentiments so make sure to look for it on Friday HERE. I paper pieced and colored the baby bee. I also added crystal Stickles to the wings. The ribbon is May Arts Chevron Ribbon and it is tied off with hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. Have a great one and I'll see you tomorrow! Hugs- Glora

Hoppin' By to Say...

Well I'm hoppin' by to say it is Peachy Keen Challenge day! Today our challenge is another fun photo inspiration challenge. These colors are BEAUTIFUL and the picture is so fun.

I went with the colors and the picture for my inspiration. The picture reminded me of water with flowers in it. That and the colors made me think of a frog on a lily pad with flowers around it.

This is a small 3x3 note card. The stamps and sentiment all come from the June 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I also added some Prima flowers and adhesive gemstones. 

I can't wait to see what you all make for the challenge! You can join in HERE. Hugs- Glora
