MCT June Release Sneak Peek Day #2

Hi My Creative Time fans, it is time for another awesome My Creative Time release. I'm not really scheduled to post today, but I love these sets so much that I couldn't resist making an extra card to post today.

Isn't this little girl so sweet? I love that she can be holding these balloons or a kite. These stamps are so versatile. I was in a watercoloring mood so I used my watercolor pencils for my card today. I think it gives this a soft whimsical sort of look. The girl and the balloons are both from the Fly Away With Me stamp set from the June release. For the sentiment I used Emma's previously released Many Greetings stamp set. I love this particular thank you sentiment with a bunch of balloons or a bunch of flowers, hey, you could even use it with a bunch of grapes or bananas. I used Hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and I embossed the pink background with the Polka Dots CuttleBug embossing folder. I just made the polka dots POP a little more by inking them lightly with some white chalk ink. I love to do that with my dry embossing.

Sneak Peek #4 - My Creative Time September Release

Welcome to day 4 of sneak peeks over at My Creative Time. Can I say that this new release has been SO much fun to work with. Today we are working with an AMAZING die and stamp set called Build a Banner Kit. It is FABULOUS!!!! I am seriously SO in love with this set!

Do you see those beautiful polka dots and stripes on the main banner pieces? Those come with the stamp and die kit and are just the right size to stamp and then cut your pieces (they are 2x2 in size). In fact I also stamped the baby's outfit and blanket with the houndstooth background that comes in this kit! The kit includes 4 dies and 4 (2x2) pattern stamps. The letters in the middle of the banner do not come with this kit, but the alphabet that comes with the Anyday Bingo and Crossword set fit perfectly inside! I also used Emma's Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies along with the All Star Baby stamp set.

The darling baby is from the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and to make it even cuter I stamped its face with the Just Baby Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is my first official Design Team Project for Emma's Team (My Creative Time). I'm SO excited! This is the start of another Throwback Thursday Challenge.

The paper doll cartridges have SO many amazing images to choose from. I hope you will join in the fun.

Peachy Keen Challenge and News

I have some WONDERFUL and VERY exciting Peachy Keen Stamps news. I was lucky to be chosen as a Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer for 2011. This means that the week of August 22-26th, 2011, you will see a week full of Peachy Keen fun on my blog. My posts for that week will also be posted on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. I will also get to give away a Peachy surprise donated by Peachy Keen Stamps during my guest week. I'm so happy. I love Peachy Keen Stamps. I've tried out for a few design teams in the past and haven't made the cut. Although this is only a guest designer position I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the opportunity Peachy Keen Stamps! And thanks to all of you for endulging me in this little celebration. For a full list of Guest Designer's Visit Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

I made a card for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. The challenge was to do some embossing on your project. I finally found me the Polka Dot Cricut embossing folder and decided to try it out. This is a shape card made with the Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge. So yes, it is supposed to be a tag, but I thought it would make a cute shape card.

I love snow people and these Peachy Keen Stamps make her look SO cute. I also love my twine. I think it definitely adds to her scarf.

I have had a bunch of people ask me about the twine. I have bought mine at a local scrapbooking store for 15 cents a yard. They have twine from both The Twinery and Divine Twine. However, I found an awesome sampler pack that The Twinery offers. It is $14.95 for 120 yards of twine in all 8 colors. Shipping was reasonable, so if you are in the market for some twine this is a great deal. Just click HERE to go to this offer.
