My Creative Time - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

Welcome to the 2nd day of My Creative Time's 12 Day of Christmas. Today I have a fun gift idea for you that was inspired by a sentiment on the It's a Magical Season stamp set. I saw that 'snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled' sentiment and remembered seeing a snowman kit in a store a couple of years ago. I thought it would be fun to make one up for my girls.

I was in luck because I had this awesome box that my friend Pam had given me. It is perfect for this kit. The front part (by the button) is a magnetic closure and fits the scarf, mittens and hat inside PERFECTLY. and then there is a little drawer at the bottom that pulls out and holds the 'coal', huge googly eyes and some very large buttons. All that is missing are a couple of twigs that could be gathered outside.

Here it is with the drawer pulled out and the mittens, scarf and hat placed in front of the box instead of inside of it.

The sentiment is once again from It's a Magical Season, the die it is stamped on is called the Fancy Frame Stamp & Die set, and the ADORABLE snowman is from the All Around Accessories stamp set all by My Creative Time. The black hemp twine is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Well I hope you enjoyed my 'snowman kit.' Now we will be all prepared to make a snowman the next time we get some snow. I hope your day is terrific! Hugs- Glora

MCT Designer Challenge - Large Tags

Hi, it is time or another My Creative Time Designer Challenge. Today Ruthie is hosting the challenge and we are making large tags (4" x 6" or larger). Fun, right? Make sure to stop by the My Creative Time blog to see TONS of awesome inspiration and to join in on the fun!

This tag is about 5" x 8". I cut it from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge (I love the tags on this cartridge). The cute little gingerbread man (4.5") is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. The paper is a Christmas stack by DCWV. The gingers face is from the Winter Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. The pretty trims at the top are both from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and of course that AWESOME LARGE sentiment is from Emma's It's A Magical Season stamp set. Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time August Release Blog Hop

Yay, the day is finally here and you can purchase all of your favorite stamps and dies from the My Creative Time August release. If you came here from Cindy B's awesome blog then you are in the right place if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so that you don't miss out on anything.

Today I have a couple of projects to share with you.

First of all we are planning a winter trip to Disneyland. I thought it would be fun to give my children some souvenir cash inside a cute little pocket card. I used the ornament die from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp set, the straight black line is also from that set. To make my ornament a Mickey ornament I cut 2 little circles from the circle die in Emma's Build a Banner Kit. The card was made using the  3x3 Tri-Fold Card die that is included with the Card Sentiments set. And last of all the sentiment came from the It's a Magical Season stamp set.

Here is what it looks like opened up. I just glued the sides down to make a little pocket for the souvenir money.

I also made a scrapbook layout that could be used for the upcoming trip.This is an 8 1/2 x 11 sized layout. I just love how it turned out and wish that this picture did it full justice.

Here is a close up of the tag.

This tag is one of Emma's Tag Dies and the sentiment comes from the It's a Magical Season stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in watermark ink and heat embossed it with red tinsel embossing powder. This stuff is SUPER sparkly in person. I love how it looks. I tied it off with some pretty red and white twine.

Here is a closer look at the Polaroid dies that go down the left side.

I did the same thing to make these Mickey ornaments as I did on the cash card above. I cut the pieces out using some pretty Core Couture Glitter cardstock by Core'dinations. It is also super sparkly in person. The middle picture of Mickey and Minnie with Santa actually came from some sheets of stationary I bought at Disneyland a few years back. The 'believe' sentiment came from the From Our Family to Yours stamp set. The fancy edged Polaroid die comes in the new Just Simply Live stamp set.

And last of all here is a closeup of one of the ornaments in the Polaroid die.

This is the set that inspired my blog hop projects today. It is called It's a Magical Season.
