The Perfect Day!

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day. Today we are Scrapping the Little Things at My Creative Time.

I have a layout with a picture from almost 12 years ago to share. It is sad to admit but up until now I haven't done a single wedding day layout. All of my pictures are in a little photo book that you can look through but I would love to get them in an actual album. I figure if I'm going to do this it will have to be with clean and simple pages that highlight the photos.

This is an 8 1/2 and 11" page. The white background is actually the base of the whole layout. The perfect sentiment is from My Creative Time's Life is Good stamp set. I heat embossed it in white. I also added a little ribbon and the Martha Stewart Lace Doily paper punch.

I hope your day is wonderful and safe. Make sure to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone has made today.

Thank You Book

I just wanted to share the cover I made for a thank you book.

I wanted to thank a sweet friend who has been helping out with the children at church for about a year. I had all the children write a note or draw a picture for her. Then I combined it into a little thank you book and made this cover for it.

This cover is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2". The sentiment is by Peachy Keen Stamps and is called Thank You - Big. The pretty flowers and leaves are dies by My Creative Time. They are called Stitched Daisy Die and Stitched Leaves Dies.

Don't forget the Peachy Keen Stamps Memorial Day Sale! There is an awesome freebie, tiered discounts and 10% of all proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross! Happy Shopping! Hugs- Glora

Hawaiian Shirt Card

Today Pam and I are doing our monthly cut challenge. I chose the cut this month. I wanted to make a Hawaiian shirt shape card for my Dad for Father's Day. My Dad used to have a shirt that looked almost exactly like this.

This cut is from the Pack Your Bags Cricut cartridge. It is a super simple card but I think he will love it and it will bring back some fun memories. On the inside I stamped Happy Father's Day.

I'm excited to see what Pam came up with for this cut. Make sure to check out her blog HERE. Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

You Hold the Key to My Heart

***If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps & SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop post please click HERE or scroll down to the next post.***

Today is Thoughtful Thursday at My Creative Time. Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone has been made.

I used the More of My Favorite Sayings stamp set by My Creative Time along with one of the key dies from the Chunky Jar Accessories stamp and die set. The scalloped heart and stripe cut is one of the pre-loaded images that came with my Silhouette Cameo. I just made a simple shape card out of the image. I really love how precise the Silhouette cut this image.

I did a little faux stitching and added a ribbon at the top and my little shape card was done. I hope you enjoyed it. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

My Teacher Rocks! - Teacher Appreciation

I just wanted to share with you the last couple of things that we did for Teacher Appreciation Week.

I made this card for my daughter's teacher and included a note and a gift card.

The cut is from the Recess Cricut cartridge. I made it into a girl cut instead of a boy cut by using the hair from the girl that sits at a desk on that cartridge. This super cute face that makes it look like she is reading out loud is from Peachy Keen Stamps The Moodies 1 1/8" face stamps. The book title is from My Creative Time's My Teacher Rocks! stamp set. I did some faux stitching and used my Versamarker as well. Oh yes and those darling little flowers in her hair can be found at Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Here is the cute card that my daughter drew for her teacher:

And last of all we gave her about 20 homemade cards and envelopes in a bag with a topper.

The cute star on the topper is a stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps called You are a Star.

Have a great day and I will see you Wednesday for the PKS and SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop. Hugs- Glora

I am SO LUCKY to be on Emma's design team. She is just the sweetest and so great to work with! Emma I hope your birthday is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! You deserve a wonderful day!

I have two quick cards to share with you today.

I used my Silhouette Cameo for this one. The ice cream cone is from Miss Kate's Cuttables and is called Happy Ice Cream Cone. The cute card shape is a freebie from SVG Cuts called Scalloped Squares. I used the More Chocolate Greetings for the sentiment and the little banner die it is on is from the original Chocolate Greetings stamp set both by My Creative Time. The ice cream cone's face is from the Snow Cuties face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps.

My second card is a very simple birthday card.

For this card I used Emma's new It's All About You stamp set for the sentiment and the little green arrow/chevron type design. Other than that I did some inking with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks and I cut a couple of strips of paper.
