MCT.....Scrapping the Little Things {January Project Life}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!

Welcome to "Scrapping the Little Things" with My Creative Time
where we share Project Life, Smash book or Scrapbook LO's using MCT stamps and dies!

As I mentioned last month when I shared my February Page, I am planning on making a page for every month this year. I am so not a scrapbooker and have realized that as much as I want to do Project Life, I just can not take pictures that are worthy in my eyes to be shared. Well let me rephrase, I can take pictures that look nice when the sun is shining and we are outside. For the life of me I can not take a picture inside that turns out :( and since our wonderful weather here has been nothing but snow you will have to bear with me on today's post. I am working on that and hope to take at least a basic photography class sometime in the near future. So with that said, I apologize for the poor picture of my January page! 

***my frustrated picture taking rant is over...LOL***

  

My son Parker went ice skating with his buddy Tyler a couple of weeks ago. Tyler's mom snapped these pictures with her phone to send to me.  It was Parker's first time ever on ice skates and she got some great pictures of the boys. 

They have their own ice skating rink in their backyard...how fun right? Alittle dusk time skate/hockey game :)

So I found these new Simple Stories PL pages. They have 2 larger 4x4 slots and then 4 smaller 2x2 slots. They work perfectly with the 4x4 Journal Die + More set from My Creative Time!!! Let's take a closer look at what I did for my page.

For this 2x2 square, I used the 4X4 Journal Die + More set to die cut the cute little square.  To make it more like a journal spot, I stamped the "paper" using one of the stamps from the Get Schooled stamp set. I stamped the lines in black and then added the red lines which is also part of that set. I knew this was going to be my "date" section so using the Type Calendar stamp set, I stamped the month and the year in blue Tim Holtz ink. To finish this off, I used the medium sized snow flake from the Winter Flake Dies set and then added a big silver sparkle enamel dot to the center.

 I just LOVE this picture! Parker is all ready to play some hockey (that is when he could stay up on his feet...LOL) For this part, I again used the 4x4 Journal Die + More for the picture and then used the adorable larger banner from the Stitched Decorative Banners set for the sentiment. I couldn't resist using this sentiment from Winter Cheer...its perfect for this picture! Another snowflake and enamel dot and this was done!

My final picture is of these adorable ice skates I used, again from the Winter Cheer set. I made them more like hockey skates, die cutting them in black rather than white. Then for some fun added detail, I used some silver thread and made a nest behind the skates.
