MCT February Release - Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to the 2nd day of My Creative Time's February Release Sneak Peeks. Today we are using the Fun Tickets and Fun Ticket Dies. I also used the new Stitched Buttons Dies from the new release.

My parents always do a Valentine's Party at their house. The kids play games, earn tickets and redeem them for prizes. These dies are going to be perfect for making my parents some new tickets but also perfect to use on a layout for some pictures of my kids at one of the previous parties.

Here is a close up of one of the Stitched Button Dies as well as the Fun Ticket Dies and Fun Ticket stamp set.

I also made a card with the Fun Ticket Stamps and Dies. My work had recently given me a movie theater gift card so I could take my family to a movie. I wanted to send them a thank you card for it and I thought the thank you ticket would be perfect on a bucket of movie theater popcorn.

This popcorn shape card is my entry for the current Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge. I LOVE the way this ticket stamp and die looks on my shape card. The popcorn bucket is from the County Fair Cricut cartridge. I added some Peachy Keen Stamps The Cornies faces to the extra buttery pieces of popcorn. As I was working on this card it seemed to me that I had seen someone else use these same faces on some popcorn before. I thought it was probably Gigi the CricutBug so I just went to her blog to check and it was. She did a darling little movie night gift bag that you should check out (HERE). 

And one last little thing I did using these stamps and dies...

Some 'free treat tickets' for my parents to include in their Valentine's for their grandkids. We all live close by so when they come and redeem their ticket mom & dad will have a yummy treat for them.

MCT 3D Wednesday - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

Hello My Creative Time friends. Today our 3D projects are all about being environmentally friendly. We are Reducing, Reusing and Recycling to make our projects. For my project I used a soup can that would have gone in the garbage and all of the paper was from scraps that could have been thrown away.

I decided to make a little 'Summer Can of Fun.' This can will have little pieces of paper inside with different activities that my girls and I can do this summer. Once homework and chores are done, they can pick a fun activity from the can. I think it will be a huge hit!

I used two My Creative Time stamp sets to make this. The first set is Have Fun in the Sun and the second was All Around Everything Accessories. I just randomly stamped sentiment on the red background paper and on the piece of white cardstock I did flip-flops in various colors. The end touch was some orange twill ribbon by Celebrate It.

Don't forget to stop by Emma's Blog to see a lot of awesome projects. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

Wobble Wednesday - SUMMER

Hi, I hope you are all having a great day. It is time for another Wobble Wednesday Challenge and it is my turn to choose the theme. I went with SUMMER. School is almost out and the sun has been shining nice and bright so I thought this would be a perfect theme.

If you would like to learn more about the challenge and join in the fun click HERE.

For my project I made a fun and simple tag.

The beautiful tag is a new die by My Creative Time called Tag Dies. The sentiments are both by My Creative Time. They are called Have Fun in the Sun and This and That! The sweet little sunshine stamp is by Peachy Keen Stamps (You Are My Sunshine), you can also purchase some Action Wobbles there and at the Queen's Royal Shoppe. And the lovely seam binding ribbon and hemp are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Have FUN in the SUN everyone! Hugs- Glora

Gilby's Makeover Walk

Hello sweet friends. Welcome to Gilby's Makeover Walk. We are celebrating Wendy and Gilby's new blog look with a puppy walk and I'm so happy to have you here. If you came here from my sweet friend Emma's awesome blog than you are in the right place. If you just happened upon this puppy walk, make sure to start back at Wendy's blog to get the whole walk in.

We were each asked to do a 'makeover' project. I was excited because this was an idea my husband suggested to me a while ago but I just never got around to doing. Basically a before and after paperdoll makeover. What I mean by that, is I want to show you what my paperdolls looked like before discovering Peachy Keen Stamps and then what they look like now. Here is the before card:

I really loved this card when I made it 5 years ago and that is why I actually have a picture of it. I think she turned out pretty cute, but I always had the hardest time getting the eyes and mouth even. Plus it is a pretty simple card, nothing wrong with simple, I just like that I've learned to do more with my cards when I want to.

5 years later here is the 'makeover' card:

I hope you like it because I LOVE it!!! Isn't her sweet Peachy Keen Stamps face perfect?!!! This face comes from a set that I use a lot called Simple Sallies. I love Peachy Keen Stamps because I get perfect little faces for my projects!!!! In addition, when I discovered Peachy Keen Stamps I also discovered Emma and Nikki's blogs. Thanks to their inspiration over the past couple of years, I have started adding stitching and doodling to projects. It adds so much to a project. And about 10 months ago Emma at My Creative Time started making stamps!!! She has got an awesome variety of beautiful sentiment stamps that work perfectly for just about any occasion. The beautiful 'magical memories' sentiment is from her Fun in the Sun stamp set and the 'thank you' is from her Follow Your Dreams stamp set. I think they look just right on here. I can't wait to give this thank you card to my parents after our next trip to Disneyland. I know they are going to love it!

Well that's it for my makeover project. Make sure you leave a comment on every blog while you are walking along so that you will have the maximum chances to win an awesome puppy treat!!! Wendy and Gilby have some awesome sponsors for this walk including: VK Design Company, My Creative Time, Peachy Keen Stamps, Buggaboo Stamps, Jen's Digi Stamps, Cutting Cafe, Pink By Design, Our Craft Lounge, My Pink Stamper, and Gilbyscraftster. WOW, what a list of sponsors - good luck and THANKS so much to the sponsors!!!

Magical Memories with Mickey

I just wanted to post a quick scrapbook page that I made with Emma's (My Creative Time's) new summer stamp set Have Fun in the Sun. I really LOVE this set!!! (If you would like to see the LO a little better just click on the picture below and it will zoom in).

Anyway, super simple like I said, but I love how it will look with pictures at Disneyland on it. Here is a close-up of Emma's super cute sentiment on my ticket. I just added a little bit of a Mickey icon to the dots and voila a super cute Disney ticket.

This is a picture of the full set of Emma's Have Fun in the Sun set.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you real soon! Hugs- Glora
