My Creative Time 31st Release Blog Hop!

Good Morning everyone and welcome to the 
My Creative Time 31st Release Blog Hop!!!!!
I hope you have enjoyed all week of sneak peeks and the awesome projects the entire DT have shared! This is such a FAB release and we have one more day of inspiration to share!

The hop starts with 
Emma over at My Creative Time 
so if you are just stopping by make sure to head on over to the start so you don't miss a thing!
If you are coming from
Candace's Blog 
you are right on track :) I will list the entire hop line-up down below so you don't miss a thing!

For my hop project I used the new Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves dies set along with a few other MCT goodies to make 2 projects to share. I hope you like them :)

My first project is a coaster post it note set.....
I started by covering a coaster with the beautiful MME designer paper~Honey. Then using a large binder clip, hot glued to the coaster, I added a stack of post-it-note paper. Each of the pages was then stamped using the sentiment from the new Springtime in Paris stamp set. To further embellish my project, I used the new Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves and some wool felt. Emma's dies are so perfect for cutting things other than paper and I use them a lot to cut out felt. LOVE the way felt looks on projects! I had some perfectly matched pink and white felt that I used and then hot glued them to the top of the bow. I added a small pen and made a loop to hold the pen using some May Arts ribbon.

My next project is a tag I made for Mother's Day....
The base of my tag is the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die  that I cut using some MME designer paper~Dolled Up. Next I die cut the Stitched XL Label Die using some white card stock and I stamped the calendar using the Whimsical Calendar Days Stamp set. I also used that same set and stamped the label border onto my tag giving the calendar a cool looking frame. The additional sentiment are from the new release~Pretty Spring Wreaths and again I added 2 flower die cuts and the fun leaf from the new Pretty Stitched Flowers and Leaves. Some white satin ribbon finished off my tag.
