Congratulations on Your First Home!

Finally, I was able to sneak in here with a project. I've been super busy at work (this is always my busiest month of the year for work) but I've actually made a few things (most of them have been for the children I work with at church). I will probably schedule that post for Sunday... but in the mean time Pam and I have our monthly cut challenge today. This month Pam chose the cut and it is the cute house on the Sugar & Spice Cricut Lite cartridge.

I thought this cut would make a cute little first home card. The sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps. It is on PK-198 Love Birds & Sentiments. The die at the top of my card as well as all those sweet itty bitty hearts are from My Creative Time's 4x4 Journal Die + More. The house cut is from the Sugar & Spice Cricut Lite Cartridge.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Make sure to head on over to Pam's blog to see what she made with this cut. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Here are some pictures and links to the stamps and dies I used:

MCT January Stamp Release Sneak Peek #3

Hello My Creative Time friends, are you ready for sneak peek day #3? I just LOVE this awesome little set that includes two mini dies and a bunch of sentiments. It is called Teeny Tag Greetings. I think you will just love this die set and the great variety of sentiments too.

For my project I made a card. This is a long card that will fit in a business sized envelope. I wish you could see the whole card a little better but I will show you the whole thing so you can see how it looks and then I will show you a couple of close ups too.

So here is the whole card...

A closeup of the Princess with her Princess Face from Peachy Keen Stamps

And a closeup with the wagon. The sentiment on the heart is from Emma's existing stamp set called 100% Sweetness and that darling little tag and sentiment are from her new set called Teeny Tag Greetings. 

Don't these tags look like so much FUN?!!!!

Hello Peachy Keen friends. It is my first official Peachy Keen Design Team post and I'm super excited to share a couple of cards that I made with the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set by Peachy Keen Stamps. It is a super cute and very versatile set. I also wanted to let you know that we will be having a linky party over on the PKS Challenge Blog so that all of you can link up a Peachy Keen project too! I hope you will all join in the Peachy fun!

My first card uses the largest heart on the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set. I also used the XOXOXOXO A-2 Background Stamp for the background.

Isn't she a cutie? I just love that face. I colored her by inking her up with Distress Ink and Versafine inks in 3 shades of red (I've seen my DT sister Nikki do this with distress inks and had to try it). From there I did a little paper piecing. I will admit that I was too lazy to cut out all the little flowers so I added some Prima flowers and pearls instead. I also found out that this darling sentiment from the January 2012 stamp of the month set fit perfectly on Emma's Stitched Oval Die.

And here is my second card, I just could not get this idea out of my head until I made her up:

I used the smaller angel from the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set and colored her up. I trimmed her wings and halo off and added a face from the Just Baby Faces stamp set by PKS. I hand cut and inked up her legs. The bed is cut from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. And the perfect sentiment for this scene is from Emma's Pain Pain Go Away stamp set.

Here is a closer look at this stamp set. Just imagine this full sheet of stamps at 8 1/2" x 11". They are big beautiful stamps. And there are SO many possibilities with this set, I just love the options just from interchanging the faces...

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog to see what awesome inspiration the design team has for you and to link up your own Peachy Keen project too. Hugs- Glora

Simply Crafts - Christmas Stocking Cut

Hello and welcome to another Simply Crafts Challenge day. For those of you unfamiliar with this, my crafting bestie, Pam, and I do a cut challenge the first Wednesday of each month. We just opened up our challenge so that anyone could participate a couple of months ago. If you are interested in joining the fun hop on over to the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog.

For the cut this month Pam chose the stocking from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. I thought it would look really cute with a sweet little teddy bear inside and so that is exactly what I did.

I love the sentiment I used for this card. It is from My Creative Time's Mixed Holiday Sentiments stamp set. The darling bear is from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge and the oh so SWEET and perfect face is by Peachy Keen Stamps and are called Cute and Cuddly Faces. All the paper, except for the kraft and white, are from a paper pad by My Minds Eye it is called Be Merry. In fact this little paper pad is part of this months giveaway.

Don't forget to drop by Pam's blog to see what her take on this cute stocking was and who knows she may even have an awesome video waiting for you too. If you would like to join in the fun of this challenge click HERE to go to the challenge blog and check it out. Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time - Release 7 - Sneak Peeks Day 2

I just got home from vacation and didn't have time to participate in Day 1 of sneak peeks but make sure you stop by Emma's blog (My Creative Time) for a lot of cute sneaks. Today is Day 2 of the sneak peeks and we are all using 'Inspiring Words' and 'Inspiring Words Accents.' These are two different sets and can be used separately or bought and used together. They are super cute and mix and match so well. And the Inspiring Words Accents comes with the super cute little shape that I stamped the sentiment in.

I recently bought the Playtime cartridge off of E-bay and I thought this little girl praying would be perfect with this combination of Inspiring Words and Inspiring Word Accents. I really believe in the power of prayer and I think this will be a great pick me up for someone needing that reminder. The darling little face is a Peachy Keen Face. It is from a set called Just Baby Faces.

Remember to comment on Emma's project and all the design team member's projects for a chance to win a set of your choice of Emma's stamps. And don't forget to share about it on FaceBook and Twitter. She may just chose someone spreading the news to receive that set of their choice.

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #5

Hello and welcome to a new month and another Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam. This is the first Wednesday of the month and so it is time for another cut challenge for Pam and me. This month Pam chose the cut. She chose the cute little baby rattle on the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. It is always a good idea to have some baby cards on hand. I discovered that I had a lot of spare baby girl cards so I wanted to make a baby boy card.

The cute sentiment is from Emma's (My Creative Time's) All Star Baby set. This set has SO many super cute baby sentiments on it. I LOVE it. I'm so excited to see what Pam has come up with for this cut. I hope you will drop by and see what she has created. She is SO talented! Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

Let's Face It Friday - Organize It

I absolutely LOVE to see organizational ideas and if you are like me and want to see some AMAZING and super cute ideas go and check out the design team projects and submissions for the Let's Face It Friday challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

For my project I wanted to make something fun and interactive for my daughter to keep up on her 'school' skills in the summer. She LOVES this so I think it will help out a lot. Last year we didn't use any charts but we did find out that if we did her reading and stuff first thing in the morning then we would remember to get it done. Otherwise the day would get busy with fun summer activities and this summer learning would get pushed aside. This chart should help too since each day each item will start up in the 'TO DO' box and then she can move them down to the 'COMPLETED' box as she finishes up each item. This chart is approximately 6" x 11"

(If you would like to see the details closer you can always click on the photo).

I made the background using Microsoft Excel. I'm an accountant so I am a bit of a spreadsheet nerd. Then I printed my spreadsheet on some super cute paper from DCWV's Mod-Retro Stack. I stamped a darling little heart from Emma's stamp set My One and Only in the corner. I cut the pieces for my project from various cartridges at about 2" each.

This cute little book is from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. I stamped it with a My Creative Time stamp from the set called 'My Teacher Rocks,' and I also used the adorable Peachy Keen stamp set called 'Happy Lashes'.

This cute little pencil came from the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge. I stamped his cute face with a Simple Simon face stamp by PKS.

I made the little chalkboard myself. I used the super cute Woodgrain background stamp by Market Street Stamps. For the cute face I white embossed a darling Simple Sally face and for the numbers I welded them together using my Gypsy and the Pooh Font cartridge.

And for this cute little kitty, I used Create-a-Critter for the cat and Pooh Font for the letters. The adorable face is a Critter face stamp from Peachy Keen stamps.

I laminated everything so they will SURVIVE the summer. I have my own personal laminator that I use for lots of little things for my children. I seriously LOVE it. Then I attached everything with Velcro.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project today. Hugs- Glora

Throwback Thursday Lite Style

Hello everyone, it is time for another fabulous Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time. For the challenge this time we want you to use a Cricut Lite cartridge and make a layout. I hope you will come and join in the fun.

I am WAY behind on my scrapbooking so this was a great challenge for me. I used the Sugar and Spice Cricut cartridge to make a birthday page for my daughter's scrapbook. (You can always click on the pictures to see the details closer up if you would like ).

 Isn't this bear the cutest? I used the new and adorable Cute and Cuddly face stamps by Peachy Keen Stamps. I LOVE these!

I used Emma's (My Creative Time's) Wow! So Many Candles stamp set for my project. This set is perfect for all of your birthday projects. I repeatedly stamped Wish Big with watermark ink to make a fun and subtle patterned paper.

I also stamped the 'Happy Birthday' and 'Little Princess' with Market Street Stamps Loopy Loo Polka background stamp. I can't get enough of that background stamp!

I may be biased but I think Peachy Keen stamps manufactures the best stamps around!

I hope you get a chance to play along. Also make sure that you stop by My Creative Time so that you can see Emma and her Design Team's fabulous layouts.
