My Creative Time - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 10

Welcome to the 10th day of My Creative Time's 12 Day of Christmas. Today I have a simply little backpack hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works that I jazzed up a bit. You can buy the plain and simple little backpack holders for 50 cents, but if you want one with some bling or jingle bells or something then the price jumps to $3 or more. Well I thought the one with the bells on it would be cute on my daughter's backpack but I didn't want to put out the money so I bought the 50 cent one and made it up using things I already had at home.

No this isn't really going to stay on my tree but it made for an easy picture. My daughter LOVES it so I am happy and best of all it was cheap and I made it in a snap.I clustered my little bells up like some holly and added some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. The sentiment comes from the From Our Family to Yours stamp set and the little tag die is from the Teeny Tags Greetings stamp set. Did you know you can buy this tags separately now? I'm sure you did but if not and you are interested in buying it separately HERE is the link to it. These are so cute on everything and being able to buy extras will really help out if you are mass producing something.

I have been SO impressed with all the awesome ideas the ladies have been sharing each day. I hope you are loving it too. If you haven't yet, make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone has done today. Hugs- Glora

Simply Crafts Challenge- Reindeer

It is the first Wednesday of the month again which means it is time for another Simply Crafts Challenge between Pam and I. This month Pam chose out the reindeer from off the Doodlecharms cartridge. If you would like to join in on the fun you can find all the details on the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog (HERE).

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's From Our Family to Yours. This is just a REALLY simple card with a little bit of Versmarker and some Sakura Gellyroll. I also added Stickles and glossy accents. 

Make sure to check out Pam's blog so you can see how she put her card together and don't forget to stop by the challenge blog if you would like to join in on the challenge. 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.

MCT August Release - Sneak Peek Day 3

Hello My Creative Time friends. Aren't you LOVING this release so far? WOW! I have loved seeing what everyone is making with these sets and I hope you are too.

Today we are showcasing a set called Just Simply Live. This set comes with an AMAZING Polaroid die and a fun little banner die too. I just LOVE it. I've only made a couple of projects with it so far and see myself using it over and over again.

I made two projects today, this first one is a magnet. I used some magnetic backed paper that I picked up a LONG time ago. This die cut it BEAUTIFULLY.

I thought this would be perfect to leave on the fridge and put little wallet sized pictures of my family in it. This picture is of my sister and me at Disneyland years ago (I'm the one on the right).

I also made a double sided Christmas ornament. This die is symmetrical so you can totally make it double sided so that both sides are equally pretty. For the sentiments on the ornament I used the new From our Family to Yours stamp set. 

Here is the front side:
