Throwback Thursday Lite Style

Hello everyone, it is time for another fabulous Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time. For the challenge this time we want you to use a Cricut Lite cartridge and make a layout. I hope you will come and join in the fun.

I am WAY behind on my scrapbooking so this was a great challenge for me. I used the Sugar and Spice Cricut cartridge to make a birthday page for my daughter's scrapbook. (You can always click on the pictures to see the details closer up if you would like ).


 Isn't this bear the cutest? I used the new and adorable Cute and Cuddly face stamps by Peachy Keen Stamps. I LOVE these!


I used Emma's (My Creative Time's) Wow! So Many Candles stamp set for my project. This set is perfect for all of your birthday projects. I repeatedly stamped Wish Big with watermark ink to make a fun and subtle patterned paper.

I also stamped the 'Happy Birthday' and 'Little Princess' with Market Street Stamps Loopy Loo Polka background stamp. I can't get enough of that background stamp!

I may be biased but I think Peachy Keen stamps manufactures the best stamps around!


I hope you get a chance to play along. Also make sure that you stop by My Creative Time so that you can see Emma and her Design Team's fabulous layouts.

Items Used:

*Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge
*Once Upon a Princess Cricut cartridge
*My Creative Time stamps - Wow! So Many Candles
*Peachy Keen Stamps- Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment
*Market Street Stamps- Loopy Loo Polkas

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #3

Well another month has come and gone. I can't believe it is April already! Anyway, it is the first Wednesday of the month so that means it is time for the cut challenge between me and my crafty friend Pam. This month Pam chose the stick pony cut from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge. We could use either the boy or the girl. I fell in love with the little cowgirl so I went with it. Here is my card.


That cute sentiment is from My Creative Time's Turn That Frown Upside Down set. It was perfect for this card. I also used lots of distress ink to give it a rustic sort of feel.

I hope you will all stop by and see what beautiful creation Pam made. She is SO super talented. Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

Items Used:
*A Child's Year Cricut cartridge - cowgirl
*Toy Story Cricut cartridge - Rope border frame
*My Creative Time stamps - Turn That Frown Upside Down
*Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Ink
*Adhesive pearls
