MCT Designer Challenge hosted by Me

Today I get to host the My Creative Time Designer Challenge. My challenge is to make a set of 4, 3"x3" cards. If you are up to an extra challenge make the cards with a critter theme, but all that is REQUIRED for my challenge is a set of 4, 3" x 3" cards. I hope you will join in the fun and thanks to Emma for letting me host a challenge on her blog. To join the challenge go to Emma's blog (HERE).

Here is my set of 3" x 3" cards:

For these cards I used My Creative Time's Small Talk stamp set. It is perfect for 3x3 cards and it has an awesome variety of sentiments too. The faces are by Peachy Keen Stamps and are Cute and Cuddly Faces and the Everyday Character Face Parts 7-9". The Teddy Bear cut is this one HERE from Miss Kate's Cuttables (I just used the head of the cut).

I had to make little envelopes for my set of cards too, so here they are with their envelopes (made using the  3x3 Fancy Envelope Die):

I hope you will join in on the fun! Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone else made and to join in the fun! Hugs- Glora

Now I'm Talking to the Sunbeams

I'm currently the volunteer Primary President, in charge of our church's children's organization - Sunday School instruction for young children ages 3-12. It can be challenging to coordinate the different teachers, classes, lessons, songs, and activities, but it is always rewarding!

Since this is the new year, the three-turning-four-year-old "Sunbeams" class is full of new and excited young ones who just graduated from the nursery (which is for the 18 months - 3 year old children). I made these shape cards, with a unique design for each youth, and wrote a welcome message for each child.

So no, I'm not going crazy. In this instance, talking to "Sunbeams" is perfectly normal!

The sunshine comes from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I modified them in the Gypsy.

 Peachy Keen Stamps finish these off perfectly! And I'm also entering this in their Anything Goes challenge.

These cards fit perfectly inside of Emma's 3x3 Fancy Envelope Die. I love that thing, it is perfect for all my 3x3 notecards.

Incidentally, the class name of "Sunbeam" comes from both St. Matthew 5:16 ("Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.") and their class song (lyrics below). What better group to represent these values than 3-and-4-year-olds?!

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

Words by Nellie Talbot, © Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,

To shine for him each day;

In every way try to please him,

At home, at school, at play.

Chorus

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

I'll be a sunbeam for him.

2. Jesus wants me to be loving

And kind to all I see,

Showing how pleasant and happy

His little one can be.

Repeat Chorus

MCT August Release - Sneak Peek Day 4

Hi My Creative Time fans. Today isn't one of my assigned days to post but I couldn't resist making up a couple of quick cards with today's sets. These sets are the 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card and the 3x3 Fancy Envelope.

This first card was made using the tri-fold card die and one of Emma's older sets called Home Sewn. I saw my fellow DT sister Katie make a card with the house in the wagon when the set first came out and I loved the idea and used it here.

This second card was made using the 3x3 Tri-fold card die and one of the sentiments from the stamps that come in this set. The baseball player is from an older set called Grand Slam.

Here is this card with its coordinating envelope. I love that I'm going to be able to make fast and cute 3x3 cards and envelopes to put them in.
