I LOVE MCT

Okay, you need to go and check out the awesome new Design Team that Emma has chosen for 2014 HERE. You are going to be impressed! I know most of these gals and just love them to pieces! I was lucky to have served on Emma's team for 3 years. These ladies are going to LOVE working with her!

Here are a few projects that I had sent in to tryout for the new team and since I've never shown them here I wanted to share them with you even though I'm not on the team this time around.

Here is my card,

For this I used the: Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die, the Fun Stitched Edges, Floral Sentiments and Bloom Where You are Planted.

Here is my 3D project. It was a countdown to Christmas for my kiddos. They LOVED it!

Here is the whole view of it...

And here is a close up so you can see the details:

For this I used A Day in December, Treat Slider Box, Build a Banner, Just Tags, Square Stitched Goody Dies and Teeny Tag Holidays.

And last of all my layout:

For this one I used the Build a Banner, Stitched 4x6 Journal Die, 4x4 Journal Die and More, Treats for My Sweet and Piles of Smiles. Happy 2014 to all of you! In a few hours I will have a guest designer post for Peachy Keen Stamps with their new release so make sure to check that out too! Hugs- Glora

MCT Halloween Hustle Day 1

Welcome to My Creative Time's 1st day of the Halloween Hustle. It is going to be a fun week jam packed with fun Halloween ideas. 

My project today is a door hanger. I've had this little ghost bell for a while and it was just needed to be finished up. I crocheted the little door hanger part using some Trendy Twine. After I was done I attached it to the bell.

To finish my cute decoration off I cut out the Teeny Tag Greetings stamp and die set by My Creative Time and stamped them with a sentiment off of the Treats for My Sweet stamp set. I'm glad I finally finished it off. Make sure to check out the other fun projects on Emma's blog. Hugs- Glora

BOO Halloween Layout

Happy Monday. Today is Scrappin' the Little Things at My Creative Time. I have a Halloween layout to share with you. It coordinates with another layout I made last year so now I have a great double page layout.

I used some new and some old My Creative Time products to make my layout. The BOO stamp is from the Treats for My Sweet stamp set and the 'You're So cute...' sentiment is from the new Spooky Starry Night stamp set. I used the Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies for the ghosts and the Stitched Tab Die for the tab. The two photo spots across the bottom were made using the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. The ghost faces all come from a Peachy Keen Stamps face assortment called the Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment. I used some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique too.

I hope you will get a chance to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone else has made as well. Hugs- Glora

MCT Halloween Blog Hop and Sale

Hello and welcome to the My Creative Time Blog Hop and Sale. If you came her from Cindy L.'s blog than you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start back at Emma's blog so you don't miss out on any of these amazing projects.

My mom needed some money holders for the fish pond at her annual Halloween carnival.She does a fun carnival for the grandkids and always has a fish pond at the end where each kid gets to go through once and get a fun prize. Well some of them are getting a little older and she decided to give them some cash instead of a toy or trinket. I volunteered to help make some little money holders because I knew that Emma's Tri-Fold Card Die would make it a breeze.

I made 8 of these total (2 of each one). They are all for boys or married couples so I kept them pretty simply and fun. For this one I used a ghost from Paper Doll Dress Up and the face is from the Everyday Character Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. The sentiment and bats came from Treats for My Sweet by My Creative Time and of course the awesome stitched Tri-Fold Card Die which is part of Card Sentiments set by My Creative Time.

Here it is opened up (I just adhered each side to make a little pocket for the money):

We are major Disney fans so I had to make a couple of Disney Halloween ones. 

This is a ghost I designed in my Gypsy. And the sentiment comes from the Small Talk stamp set.

Spider Mickey was also designed in my Gypsy. The Trick or Treat sentiment is from the Card Sentiments stamp set. This is the set that comes with the 3x3 Tri Fold Card Die.

This last one has a sentiment from Treats for my Sweet and the cat is from the PKS-CottageCutz Nikkity Knack Cat Die.

Simple and easy but fun. I love how Emma's products work together so beautifully.

MCT Designer Challenge... Tracy

Hello My Creative Time friends, are you ready for another designer challenge? Today Tracy is our designer host and she wants us to use GOOGLY eyes on our project. I can't wait to see what you all create with googly eyes.

I wanted to make a googly eye ghost, it just seemed fun and appropriate. I've been wanting to use this Sandwich Fun face from PKS on a ghost ever since I got it. The eyes on the stamp almost look like googly eyes so I think they look great on this particular face. I also have the ghost on an Action Wobble so he is EXTRA cute and interactive. The candy pattern was made using a background stamp called Candy Background by PKS. The OH so perfect sentiment is from the Treats for My Sweet stamp set by My Creative Time. 

I hope that you will take a chance and play along. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Make sure to stop by the My Creative Time blog to see what everyone else has made using GOOGLY eyes. Hugs- Glora

Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge

MCT September Release Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the My Creative Time September Release Blog Hop. If you came here from Cindy B's blog that you are in the right spot, if not make sure to go to the My Creative Time Blog to get the whole hop in.

I've got a few quick things to share with you and then I will send you on your way.

First a quick and easy treat bag for a large chocolate chip cookie.

I used the new All Around Goodies for ALL of the stamps on this. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. I borrowed Ruthie's idea of adding some glossy accents to my cookie. The bag is a glassine bag from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and that pretty trim is a picot ribbon from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I must admit that this cookie is not homemade and it is NO LONGER fresh baked ;).

If you need some REAL quick Christmas gift card holders this project is just the trick. It doesn't take much time at all just a few die cuts and little bit of stamping.

For this one I used Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder Die and Gift Card Sentiments. I also used the new Just Tags for the tag and the Just For You stamp set for the tree. For the embellishments I added a few star adhesive rhinestones, some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and a little ribbon.

And last of all I have a Halloween layout to share. My children love Halloween for the TREATS. I mean who doesn't love a bag full of SUGAR? Anyway, I thought these stamps and dies along with some previously released ones would make a fun layout.

The teal and orange squares along the top are for some 2.5 x 2.5" pictures. The middle mat will be for a 4x6 inch picture.

To the side of the main image mat I used the new Just Tags Die and stamped it with a sentiment from Treats for my Sweet. This is a removable die and just slides in and out so that I can add some personal journaling. The hemp is once again from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Along the bottom I used images and sentiments from both the All Around Goodies and also from last year's All Around Halloween. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die.

MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 2

If you are looking for the Peachy Keen Blog Hop just click HERE.

Well are you loving Emma's new mini release this month? I'm so excited to have these new My Creative Time stamps and dies. They are going to make my holiday treat giving a breeze.

When I first saw the new tag it seemed the perfect size to make a little treat slider with. I used Mini Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy bars for all of these but I believe something like a Laffy Taffy would probably work too. I made one for each of the upcoming holidays.

Here is a close up of the Halloween one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags along with last months stamp set called Treats For My Sweet. When you pull up on the ribbon the candy slides up with it, thus a TREAT slider. The slider idea wasn't my own I have seen a couple of YouTube videos in the past that showed hot chocolate and apple cider sliders I just added my own twist by making it a treat slider. This is what it looks like when you pull up on the bow:

My girls were pretty enchanted with how it could slide in and out. Simple but fun and a breeze to make.

Here is the Thanksgiving one close up:

For this one I used a Turkey from the Peachy Keen Country Bumpkin Minis stamp set along with the letters from the Just Simply Live stamp set by My Creative Time. These would make cute little Thanksgiving name place markers. The will actually stand up on their own with the candy inside.

And last of all this is a close up of the Christmas one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags, the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die, the new All Around Goodies and the previously released All Around Christmas.

Here is a REALLY quick video showing how to put one of these together. It is just music playing in the background because the kids were being lively :).

You will notice that I started the video with my tag cut out kind of like a card. I have another video that shows you how to do that with dies. You can find that video in this POST. You DO NOT have to do it that way. You could just use REALLY tacky glue on each side of two tags or you could machine stitch the sides as well. I just thought it would be easier to have one side already stuck together.
