For Some Bunny Special.....{Seize The Sketch #16}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

Hosted this week by the very talented Jen

And here is the card I made based on the sketch!

For my card I used the adorable Peachy Keen Stamp set~ Somebunny Special and paper pieced the bunny using designer paper from My Minds Eye~Blush paper pack. Following the sketch exactly, I used the Stitched Journal Die from My Creative Time for the mat of my sentiment and bunny and then added 2 banners using My Creative Time~Vintage Stitched Label Dies.  I added a bit of zig zag stitching to the top of the banner pieces as well, just for alittle something extra and colored in the bunny belly, tail and ears using my white gel pen. A bit of chalk to her sweet cheeks and some copic color to her nose and mouth and my card was completed.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

Make sure to head on over to the Seize The Sketch blog to see what the other DT members created with this sketch and for all the details on how you can play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Tag it Tuesday w/ My Creative Time

Good Morning and welcome to

Tag it Tuesday with My Creative Time!

For those of you who may be new to this, it's when we make any project using a tag. 

 For my project today, I made 2 mini Easter Tags using some of the new goodies that were released last month!

These were super easy to put together and I used leftover scraps and diecuts so making these were a breeze.

Both of my tags use the same base~ and one of my favorite dies~ the Just Tags Stamp & Die Set. I used kraft cardstock as my base and then layered some designer papers on top. I used the Hello Chickie! Stamp Set for both the Easter Basket, Eggs and adorable chick. I couldn't help but stamp the cute chickie with the new Chickie Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps. Isn't she adorable???
The grass is also a new die from MCT~a must have too~ the Stitched Grass Die which is perfect for ton's of those spring projects!!
Finally the sentiment on the Easter Basket tag is from the To My Best Peeps set and the sentiment for the chickie tag is from the Hello Chickie! Stamp Set.
I finished my tags off with some May Arts Ribbon and a bow of Totally Natural Trendy Twine!
Well that it all I have to share :)

  Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!

Happy St. Patty's Day....Made in Minutes {My Creative Time}

Happy St. Patrick's Day 

and 

welcome to another

My Creative Time's~ Made In Minutes!

If you are new to this segment, it is where the MCT DT  shares quick and easy projects using MCT stamps and dies that you can recreate in no time. 

Since it is St. Patrick's Day I have a CAS card to share that took maybe a total of 5 minutes to put together :)

I love using MCT dies with wool felt! The dies cut through the felt so beautifully and the felt adds so much texture and dimension to a card~ don't you think?

So for my card I used the Shamrock Die from the set~ You're my Pot of Gold with some beautiful green felt. I wanted it to be the focal point of my card.

I hot glued the shamrock to my card and then stamped the sentiment using one of the new releases~ I'm a Lucky Girl.

To add some additional embellishments to my card, I used some green sequins that I had in my stash.

The entire card was placed on a Kraft card stock base with a mat of green card stock and another mat of white card stock.

Make sure to check out the other DT member's projects over on Emma's blog~ 
My Creative Time.
I know you will LOVE all the inspiration!

Final thing before I head on out....
Don't forget about the MCT Challenge going on now.....

CHALLENGE DETAILS:

- Make a project of your choice using different shades of just one color.  (You can use a different color as your base or background - white, black, kraft; just make sure your focal point displays your monochromatic color choice). 

- Deadline for this challenge will be on March 18th @ midnight! 

That's tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!

More Than Favors

Little Bitty Blog Hop w/ My Creative Time!

Good Morning and 

welcome to this FUN "MINI" release blog hop with My Creative Time!

If you did not arrive here from

Candace
 then you might want to start off at the beginning of the hop HERE because there is NOTHING you want to miss!

 Emma has been getting SEVERAL requests to make a die to coordinate w/her cute Typewriter stamp that is in the "Once Upon a Time" stamp set! As for the "Never Be Lost" set, well….this is a MUST HAVE for LOTS of fun projects such as your project life albums, scrapbook pages, smash booking, cards.. etc…..! 
The possibilities are simply endless w/these 2 new items! Sit back, relax & hop along w/us to see some AMAZING & DIFFERENT ways to use these 2 "tiny but mighty" new items! ;)

For my project I was able to play around with the Never Be Lost stamp and die set and made not one but 2 separate projects to share.
The first is using the coordinating dies for the Never Be Lost set in a different way.
I made a set on mini 4x4 cards and turned the geotags into flower petals.

I just love the way these turned out! And another great way to use up those scrap papers!

 

Each of the papers I used for my card came from leftovers from previous projects and I added matching solid cardstock to the bottom layers. After cutting out all the pieces, I added them to my card, arranged in a flower pattern with the points of each of the geotags meeting the the center. To cover the area where they meet, I used a button and matching Trendy Twine.

The sentiments for each of these all came from the Card Sentiments stamp and Die set. A bit of sewing for a border and these cards are complete :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my next project I made a PL spread from my son's All County Chorus Concert. He was given an amazing opportunity to perform with students from all over Erie County after auditioning and becoming one of 6 students chosen to represent his elementary school. The concert was this past weekend and we are so proud of what he and the entire chorus was able to accomplish within a week only of practicing.

Wednesday Inspiration......{My Creative Time}

GOOD MORNING everyone 

and

Welcome to "Inspiration Wednesday" with My Creative Time!

This is the day that we create something based on what inspired us! 

My inspiration came from this pin on Pinterest ~HERE

I LOVE the speech bubbles on this card and knowing that Emma has 2 sets of AWESOME Speech Bubble Dies, I knew I could totally case this card using them.

So here is what I made......

Here is how I made this card. I started with a white card base and added a layer of designer paper from My Minds Eye~Dolled Up paper pack. Then using the Stitched Round Speech Bubbles and the Stitched Square Speech Bubbles I cut several different one using matching pattern paper from the same paper pack.
To finish my card up, I die cut "HI" using the super adorable Lowercase Fun Dies .

So what do you think????? This was such a quick and easy card to put together....I could of totally used this for our Made In Minutes segment with My Creative Time too :)

Want to see more projects?

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

For my project I made a sweet Easter Treat to place in one of the kiddo's basket.
I used the new March SOTMK and made this....

I just think it turned out adorable....don't you?? And that bunny...CUTE as can be!

So here is how I made this. I used the adorable bunny from  the new release kit and colored her using my copics. For a bit more embellishing, I added some chalk to her cheeks and white gel pen doodles, plus I added some stickles to her bow (kinda hard to see in the pic). She was added to a die cut tag from My Creative Time~Just Tags Die and Stamp Set and tied to my pretzel bag using some May Arts Ribbon and an adorable Pear Pin from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions.

Then for the candies, I made my own candy wrap using designer papers from my stash and the scalloped border die from My Creative Time~Fun Stitched Edges Dies. Once my candies were wrapped, I added some of the adorable carrots, also from the Peachy Keen Stamps SOTMK, colored with my copics to the tops of the candies. I finished this off by adding my stamped sentiment to the center candy.

So what do you think? Such a cute Easter treat, and I had a blast making it!
