Happy Birthday

Hello my creative friends!  I made this cute little birthday card with My Creative Times Tag Die Layers.  The Happy B-Day letters were part of the dies in that set.  I stickled them all up! :)  The flower embossing folder was a gift from my sweet friend, Jessica Flynn!  Thank you Jessica!!!  I love it.  Then I tried a new technique I learned from my friend, Jo Ralph, putting ink on top of the embossed parts of the card with my finger dabber.  I think it turned out soooo cute for being such a simple card!  I love it!!!  I placed it on top of my sweet little friends birthday present!  Super cute! :)  Happy Crafting, my friends!

Window Shaker Cards

Hello My Creative Friends!  Okay, so I was sooo inspired by Emma at My Creative Time (www.creativetimeforme.com)  that I made all my team members an end of the year card to tell them how much I love and appreciate them!  I used our School Mascot Grizzly bear that I cut out really tiny using my Silhouette Machine.  I just love that machine!!!!  Then I used all the ideas from My Creative Time on how to put the window shaker card together.  All stamps and dies used were from My Creative Time.   (Sorry, I forgot to write down the exact names of the sets I used).  The hats were made by my Bestie, Melissa Mapes.  She does shirts and hats!  E-mail me if you want her contact info!  I just love, love, love her work!!!! :)  Super cute, personalized gifts!!!!  $25 a hat!  So impressed with this end of the year appreciation gift to  my third grade team members!  I love them even more! :)

MCT Designer Challenge

Hello My Creative Friends!

I made two cards for this challenge! :)  I was so inspired by the colors and picture, and sample card.  Hehehe  And besides, I have my anniversary coming up in a few days and Father's Day in just a few short weeks. :)  I used the following products:

1.  MCT Heart die

2.  MCT You're Brilliant Die and Stamp Set

3.  MCT Teeny Tag Greetings.

On the second Card I used:

1.  Story book Cricut Cartridge for Letters

2.  MCT Coffee Break Stamp Set for background embossed

I really love making these little window shaker cards.  I think they are soooo neat to play with!!! :)They are a little tricky for me to make.  But thanks to Emma at www.creativetimeforme.com  I am able to watch the tutorial video over and over to make it happen.  Super cute!!!  I just love how it came out.  I put a lighthouse as the under pic since my husband just loves light houses and it fit the the theme of the challenge!  Happy Crafting! :)

My Creative Time Challenge

I know I haven't been on  my blog for quite a while.  Life has thrown me some tough stuff.  But, none the less, God is good!  Needless to say, I have not had the creative spirit or bug in me for quite some time.  My husband requested a card for a colleague of his that is transfering somewhere else.  My heart was touched that he wanted me to make a card.  So here it is.  I am entering it into My Creative Time's Challenge.

Recipe:

Creative Memories Wavy Border Maker

Provocraft Cloud Embossing Folder

Provocraft polk a dot Embossing Folder

Life's a Beach Cricut Cartidge

Oh, my goodness, I just realized that I forgot to use a My Creative Time product.  Well, I love all of Emma's stamps and dies!  I just have to get my crafting groove back on.  LOL

Until next time, my creative friends!

Hugs,
