Hello and welcome to a week of creative inspiration using Emma's newest - special birthday - release over at My Creative Time. ALL of these stamps and dies are already available for pre-order and will be shipping out soon.
Today I made a set of 4, 4"x4" cards. These are a nice size for a little note.
I used all 3 different mustaches from the What's Growing On? stamp and die set. Aren't they a fun variety and each one has Emma's beautiful stitching around it.
I inked the edges of the mustaches and the layers of the card. I also added some faux stitching around the patterned paper. The pretty polka dot paper is by PaperTrey Ink called Bitty Dots.
This wouldn't be a party without GIVEAWAYS!
With all of our SAMPLES/ SNEAKS this week, Emma likes to do some FUN

MCT October Stamp Release Sneak #1
Hello My Creative Time friends. It is time for another release week at My Creative Time. Today we are showcasing a set called Cherish This Moment. This set has a REALLY nice sized font and terrific sentiments. It is SO perfect for scrapbooking but terrific for cards as well. Today's project is an autumn layout (you can click on the pictures if you want to see the details better).
Here is a closeup of the top title section:
The 'life is beautiful' and the 'cherish this moment' stamps are both on this set. I cut the autumn word art out from the Stretch You Imagination Cricut cartridge. I stamped the acorn with a Simple Sally face from Peachy Keen Stamps and added some faux stitching with my gel pen.
I just had to show a closeup of that sweet little leaf. The darling face is from the Princess Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps.
And another fun thing I wanted to show you was my 'hidden' journaling tag. Do you notice the curvy yellow piece to the side of this photo mat? Well it is a hidden journaling tag that I made with Emma's XL Label Die.
All I have to do is pull the tab and I can remove it and read the journaling for this page (which has not been completed yet, I will do that when I add the pictures)...
Did you notice those beautiful and perfect journaling lines (I so need those because I can not write straight without them)? Well those beautiful journaling lines that fit perfectly on Emma's XL Label Die are included in this new Cherish This Moment stamp set. So fun! I hope you enjoyed todays project.

My Creative Time Design Team Day - "Shaped Card"
Hello friends. Here we are with another fun Design Team day over at My Creative Time. Today Emma wanted us to make a shaped card. For my card I used the "All Around Christmas" stamp set.
I just LOVE that darling Merry Christmas sentiment on Emma's All Around Christmas Stamp set. It is such a fun font. I love it! And if you have followed my blog for a while you will know that I can't make a 'rocking horse' project without attaching it to an Action Wobble. It is just the perfect motion for these sorts of things. Although they can be fun to add to just about anything. And as always I made a VERY short video demonstrating how cute this little elf looks rocking on his rocking horse.
Make sure to drop by the My Creative Time blog and see what Emma and the other Design Team members have made. I'm certain there will be some beautiful inspiration to be seen. Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day! HUGS- Glora

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #6
Hello, and welcome to the first Wednesday of the month and another fun cut challenge between me and Pam. It was my month to choose a cut. I recently got the Baby Steps cartridge and haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet so I wanted to use it. I said we could do either the baby boy or the girl sleeping on the moon cut. Mine is a simple shape card (but a little more tricky without my sweet Gypsy).
I LOVE this sentiment from Emma's newest stamp release called Encouraging Quotes. I think it is perfect for this cut. This particular cut doesn't include the stars, I just added some stars from the Baby Steps cartridge. I inked all the edges. And this baby would not be NEARLY as cute without that darling Peachy Keen face stamp from the Just Baby Faces assortment! It is just the sweetest set for baby cuts!

Items Used:
*Inks for inking
*Versamarker
*Zig Marker

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.

Items Used:
*My Creative Time stamps- Turn That Frown Upside Down
*Market Street Stamps - Sea Animals
*Sakura White Gellyroll Pen
*Chalk
*Zig Markers
*Skittles
*Pop-dots
Thanks to my friend Pam for the skittles and the border punch :). It is always fun to have some new stuff to play with.

My Teacher ROCKS!
What a crazy and fun week this has been and boy has it flown by. I have a feeling this weekend is going to go even faster. Anyway, I wanted to share another one of the cards that I made for my daughter's teacher this week. I will probably be showing some more of my Teacher Appreciation cards/projects next week.
I totally had fun with this. That super cute background note paper is an awesome background stamp called Vintage Notepad by Market Street Stamps. The perfect and adorable sentiment is from the My Teacher Rocks! stamp set by My Creative Time. And that super cute bear is the Peachy Keen- CottageCutz Tear Bear. She is SUCH a cutie! The bear is also attached to an Action Wobble so that she really rocks. I didn't do a short video this time, but I'm sure you can imagine it wobbling :).
A couple of reminders:
1. I listed the winners from my birthday week on Monday. I have heard from all but two of the winners. If you haven't looked to see if you were one of them then check HERE. The winner's have until Monday night to contact me. If not, I will pick two new winners.
2. Peachy Keen Stamps is having an awesome sale starting tonight at 8PM CST!!! There are some awesome discounts, 99 cent shipping and the chance to win some AMAZING prizes.

My Creative Time's Design Team Day
Today is a design team day over at My Creative Time. For our projects we had a super cute sketch to work with and we were supposed to used the color red. Here is the sketch:
Emma asked me to use the 'You're My Best Buddy' stamp set for this project. This set is perfect for Father's Day but also has some great sentiments for the man in your life all year round. This is my card:
I also wanted to mention that Emma has just come out with a brand new stamp set. It is called Race For the Cure. This is a "Special" set Emma designed~ By purchasing this set you are partnering with My Creative Time to help "Stamp Out" breast cancer. For each set that is purchased, My Creative Time will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure! I think this set is going towards a great cause. It has a lot of beautiful sentiments that could be used for a variety of cards and projects. Here is a picture of this set.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Card X 30
Okay, so you are going to look at this card and think it is the simplest card you've ever seen. Well it probably is. My Daddy wanted 30 St. Patrick's Day cards so he could send one to each of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He wants to write each grandchild a special note from him and my Mom and include a lucky $2 bill.
Then open the Happy St. Patrick's Day flap and there is lots of space for writing, which I happen to know my Papa will use up completely. He loves writing notes to his family.
Items Used:
*Designer's Calendar Cricut cartridge
*Gypsy
*My Creative Time stamps - I Believe in Leprechauns
*Peachy Keen Stamps - Happy Lashes
*Black Zig Writer
*Core'dinations Linen cardstock
This is a tri-fold style card. You open up the shamrock...
Then open the Happy St. Patrick's Day flap and there is lots of space for writing, which I happen to know my Papa will use up completely. He loves writing notes to his family.
So, how long does it take to make 30 simple cards. Well, I don't how long it would take most of you, but it took me about 3 hours and I was feeling REALLY good about that. I completed each step for every card before moving to the next. This makes it go SO much faster. So I cut all 30 cards and then the 30 shamrocks, then I folded all of them, next I adhered the green shamrocks to each card, then I stamped all of their adorable Peachy faces, following that I stamped them all with Emma's cute sentiment and last of all I did my doodling. 3ish hours later... 30 cards... et VOILA!
