You Are Still Young at Heart

I come from a family of young and old Disney lovers that are all kids at heart. I thought this card would be perfect to have on hand for a birthday card. I'm using it for two different challenges. The first is the Peachy Keen Stamps sketch challenge, I love the sketch and hope to use it again soon. The second is for the Crazy About Cricut birthday challenge. For this challenge we were to make something that we love or a birthday project. Well I did both, it is a birthday card but it is also inspired by something I love, DISNEY.


and here is the inside of the card...

I used two sets of My Creative Time stamps, Wow! So Many Candles and Polka Dot Surprise!. I LOVE, love, LOVE these stamps.

This is a business envelope sized card. I hope you like it. I also wanted to remind you that Monday will be the start of my birthday celebration. I hope you will pop by and see what I have in store for you all. Have a wonderful day.

Easter Blessings

Have you ever seen those beautiful and intricate Easter eggs that some VERY talented people make? Well, my eggs don't ever turn out that way, but I wanted to try and make some pretty paper ones for the Color Cue Challenge #1 over at Market Street Stamps. We were supposed to use Plum, Sunshine Yellow and Caribbean Blue.


I used the beautiful Vintage Wallpaper background stamp and stamped my white eggs with a watermark ink pad. Then I embossed them with clear embossing powder. Next I inked them up with the coordinating colors. I had so much fun making these. I hope you enjoy them too and I hope you will join in the challenge. There is one day left to play along.

Items Used:

*Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge
*Market Street Stamps - Vintage Wallpaper
*My Creative Time stamps - Color Me Happy
*Papertrey Ink - kraft cardstock
*Ribbon

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
