Design Team Thursday at My Creative Time - Anything but a Card

Hello friends, today is a design team Thursday over at My Creative Time and we are all supposed to make anything we want, the only exception is no cards. I love to dress up cute little gift bags and had a lot of fun with Emma's stamps and some cute glittery Minnie stickers that my mom gave me.

I had lots of fun with this. I used Emma's XL Label Die, along with the coordinating border stamp on the Whimsical Calendar Days. The sentiments inside are from her Polka Dot Surprise stamp sets (one of my all time favorites). The little tag at the top of the bag is stamped and cut from the Build-a-Banner stamp and die set. And last but not least the Happy Birthday sentiment on the little tag is from the Many Greetings Stamp set. Other than that, the gift bag was from the dollar store, the stickers are Hallmark Stickeroni's and I added some doodling with my American Crafts Pen.

Thanks for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the Design Team made for today, click HERE to see what everyone made! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Halloween Card Swap

I participated in a card swap over on the Peachy Keen Connection. It was my first time doing a swap and I had a lot of fun. We were to use at least one embellisment and a Peachy Keen Stamp. This is my card. I hope the recipients like it. I can't wait to see what I get back. I plan on taking pictures and posting them here when I get them.

I also stamped up coordinating envelopes...

Monday Madness... Imagine That!

Hello friends and welcome to another Monday Madness... Imagine That with My Creative Time. Today, I have a simple birthday card for my nephew. I used patterned paper since I don't have an Imagine. I also used My Creative Time's Anyday Bingo and Crossword stamp set.

 

The little Mickey heads are a paper punch I got from Disneyland and the idea here is confetti. I used twine and a Zig glue pen for the strings. And the balloons are actually a Disney Cuttlebug set called, Disney Celebrations Cut and Emboss Set. Make sure you stop by Emma's blog to see what she and the design team have in store for you! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Cricut Banner

**If you are looking for Gilby's Makeover walk scroll down or click HERE**

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the Cricut Banner contest. The contest was to make a banner with the word CRICUT. There are supposed to be 5 winners of the new E2 Cricut Machine and many of the banners will be shown on HSN on Monday, September 26th. I don't have cable so if you happen to see my banner let me know ;).

When I heard about the contest I had a couple of ideas but only got one of them made and turned in before the deadline. Here is a full picture of the banner, you can always click on a picture if you want to see it close up, but I will include some closeups as well:

Close up of left side:

Close up of right side:

Close up of the letters only:

These banner pieces are from Birthday Bash and are cut at 5.5". I included LOTS of stitching...

And now to my VERY favorite part of the banner... The Cricut LOVING banner girls. Here is the brunette:

This cute brunette was cut at 9.5" and is about 10" tall assembled. Her face is a Peachy Keen face I bought on clearance last year (discontinued). It is a BIG face and fits this darling banner girl PERFECTLY!!! She is holding her lovely Cricut green Gypsy and her darling Creative Genius shirt was a bonus stamp that Emma gave out with one of her stamp releases.

Now onto our adorable blondy:.

This cutie is a quite the paper princess. Her cute sentiment on her crafty shirt came from Emma's Paper Princess stamp set. She has another huge Peachy Keen Face that I picked up on clearance last year (discontinued). Can I say I'm SO glad I bought these last year!!! You could get very similar faces, just a little bit smaller with the 7-9"  Basic Paper Doll Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps. Anyway, she has her Baby Bug Cricut with her and is ready to play with some paper because that is what makes her HAPPY!

I had a BLAST making this and I LOVE how it turned out. I plan on making one to put in my craft room when I get some spare time - LOL! I hope you enjoyed it!

I have two little girls, so I love making cute and girly things. My daughter's are currently in love with Rapunzel.  When I saw these cute Rapunzel stickerz by EAD Designs I fell in love. EAD Designs was kind enough to donate a set for me to try out for Candace's Birthday hop.  

All of the pink and purple paper is full of glitter and my girls LOVE it. Now I just need to get a picture of them with Rapunzel the next time we are at Disneyland and my layout will be complete.

The darling 'happily ever after' sentiment is from My Creative Time's, You Had Me at Chocolate, stamp set. The beautiful blingy paper (which is SUPER glittery in person) is by Core'dinations and as mentioned above the stickers are by EAD Designs.
