MCT October Stamp Release Sneak #4

Hi My Creative Time friends. We are on our last day of sneak peeks and the new release blog hop will be tomorrow!!! For our final set we are all showcasing a set called All Around Birthday Time. This set coordinates with the Scalloped & Stitched Circle dies. I makes lots of birthday cards and I'm loving this set.

Here is my card for today:

The sentiment and smaller pirate flag are from the new All Around Birthday Time. The bigger flag is from the All Around Accessories set. I just added a little hand cut flag pole to it. I also used Emma's Scallop & Stitched Circle set. This darling octopus is from the Sea Animals set by Market Street Stamps. His eye patch is just one of the scallop's from Emma's scallop circle die and that hat is from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (it normally goes with the octopus on that cartridge). The black pattern on the white paper is the Bit of Burlap background stamp by Market Street Stamps.

I had lots of fun making this card for the All Around Birthday Time sneak peek. I also wanted to use some Market Street Stamps so I could enter it for the current challenge over at Market Street Stamps blog. The challenge is to make a birthday or anniversary card using Market Street Stamps. I think this awesome birthday set of Emma's worked just right with these Market Street Stamps. These peachy tinted stamps work so well together! Anyway, it is their anniversary week and they have lots of fun stuff going on so drop on by and play along. 

I'm super excited to see what awesome goodies Emma and the rest of the design team came up with for this set. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow for the My Creative Time October release blog hop :).

You Make Me Smile

I have combined a couple of my favorite challenges into one card today. I used the sketch with a twist from the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #51 and the colors from the Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge #2. 

I thought this would make a great any day type of card so I used this perfect sentiment from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down set. I also stamped these adorable little Market Street Stamps starfish onto some textured cardstock. Then I inked them, colored in the little stitching and the eye whites and then added a little chalk for their cheeks. I also pop-dotted them up which was the twist to the sketch challenge.

I also decided to add this new creation to Alex's (You Had Me at Craft) new weekly link-up party. There are some pretty cute creations over there. If you get some time you might want to head over and take a look.
