Teddy Bear Valentine

Well I finally took some time to put together my entry for the sketch challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. I got my new stamps and had to ink up one of these SUPER cute teddy bears.

Here is the sketch:

The adorable teddy bear is a steal of a deal this month and can be found HERE. It is called PK-1372 Teddy Bear Love.

Isn't that bear SWEET?! I used several My Creative Time Dies too. I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die to make my own stitched shapes for the card (the background mat and the two rounded rectangle pieces). I also used the Stitched Scallop Heart Die Set, and the Stitched Sweetheart and XOXO Dies. I saw Ruthie use these two sets together and knew I wanted to do it too.

I used some glossy accents and some chalk to finish up my card.

I also want to enter this card in the linky party at Craftin Desert Divas. I used green, pink and white from the color inspiration photo.

Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Happy Holidays From All of Us!

Ha ha, I scheduled this a while ago and forgot to do up the write up part to go with it. Oops. 

Well here is my card.

I used My Creative Time's Stitched 4x6 Journal Die to make my card base (I just adjusted it to be 4x5.25). For my stamps they all came from Peachy Keen Stamps. I used the Clear Canning Quart Jar, the Gingerbread Bowl (for the sentiment) and the House Train for my candy. I layered the jar with a layer of acetate to make it look more like glass. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!

Hugs- Glora

December 25th Christmas Memories Layout

Today is Scrappin' the Little Things at My Creative Time. I have tons of Christmas photos that need to be scrapped so I turned on some Christmas music and scrapped away. I got the basic inspiration for the design of my page from one of the pages in my DCWV Christmas paper pad.

I used lots of My Creative Time products and some pretty paper from DCWV. I used the following My Creative Time Dies: Stitched 3x4 Journal Die, Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and Stitched XL Label Die. I used the following My Creative Time stamp sets: My Journaling (for the journal lines), Cherish This Moment (for Good Memories), Gift Card Sentiments (for Merry Christmas), Treasured Moments (for Life's most precious moments...), and Whimsical Calendar Days.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Make sure to stop by My Creative Time to see all the other scrappy inspiration. Hugs- Glora

MCT 26th Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time 26th Release Blog Hop. I have had WAY too much fun with this new release and I hope you have enjoyed all of the fun inspiration as well. You should have come here from the talented Courtney's blog. If not you will want to make sure you start at the My Creative Time Blog so that you get the full hop in.

I have a couple of cards for you today. I will apologize in advance this is a little bit of a longer post that I usually do for a blog hop. Sorry.

On both of these projects I used the new Cocktail Party Stitched Dies. I don't drink alcohol so you would think that I would have no use for these dies but there are actually some awesome shapes in this die set and I had some fun ideas pop into my head when I first saw them. Here are a couple of these ideas.

First up is my flower birthday card. I made the flower using 3 different dies sets. For the center piece I used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die, the petals were made by cutting out the Cocktail Party Stitched Die 5 times (the piece that I used is the part that would usually go in the wine glass as the beverage), and then for the leaves I used the Stitched Leaves Dies. The sentiment for my card is from the new Some Days Simply Require stamp set. My card base was made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and the polka dot piece in the middle was also made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die. All I did was just run it through my die cutter twice to crop it the size that I wanted. Last of all I tied some seam binding ribbon, from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique, into a bow at the top.

For my second card I used the little olive pick piece as a cupcake topper and the little heart sprinkles are the inner piece from the heart pick which is also part of the Cocktail Party Stitched Die. The cute cupcake is from the Celebrate Good Times stamp and die set. The sentiment is the same one I used in the flower card I just masked off  the 'to you' part. The gingham piece was cut with the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (I ran this through my Cuttlebug Machine twice so I could make it 3x3.5). I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die for two of my pieces, first was the kraft background piece, I ran it through my die cutter twice to make it 4x5.25". I also ran the pink strip through twice so I could get the stitching going down the sides. Then for my scallops I used the scalloped edges from the Treat Slider Box Die. And I finished it off with some Trendy Twine.

Say Cheese Layout

It is Scrappin' the Little Things over at My Creative Time and I decided to work on another Disney Layout.

I cut out the film strip piece and Mickey Icons with My Cricut from the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge. I used stickers for all of the Mickey and Minnie images. Everything else I used for this are products by My Creative Time. I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die, The Stitched Tab Die, the Stitched Camera Die and the Things I Love... stamp set.

Here is a close up of the top left corner.

Make sure to check out all of the other Scrappin' the Little Thing projects at My Creative Time! Hugs- Glora

Heard You Were Feeling Ruff

It is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge and it is an ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. Just use your Peachy Keen Stamps on whatever your little heart desires and link it up. Easy Peasy!

I could not resist using some of the new stamps from the August 2013 SKOTM. Isn't that puppy SO sweet?! That awesome paw print, bone and dog house background is a new background stamp too! YAY! It is called Dog Background. The sentiment at the bottom is from the new SKOTM as well.

I also used a few My Creative Time dies for this project. I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die for my card base. I used the XL Label Die and the Stitched XL Label Die for the piece behind the dog. And the piece that the sentiment is on is from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies set. Other than that I used some gingham ribbon to tie it off.

I hope you will join in the challenge HERE. I'm excited to see what you make. Hugs- Glora

Thank You Treat Bag

It is 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time and I have a fun project made with several My Creative Time products.

Do you see all of that beautiful stitching? I love Emma's stitching on her dies! The bottom (mint colored) piece was made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die. The topper (pink and cream part) was made using the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. I used the Curly Label Die and the Stitched Curly Label Die and for the sentiment I used the 'thank you' from I'm Here For You Rain or Shine.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora
