My Creative Time please click HERE.

Welcome to my stop on the 
"Thankful for 3 Girl JAM Fans Blog Hop!" 
 The 3 Girl JAM design team has joined up with a few of our friends and fans to put together an awesome hop full of inspiration and fun!
You should be coming from 
Susan's  Blog.
If you are just popping in and would love to hop with us...please head on back to the start of the hop~ over at 
Julie K's Blog

If you are a follower of my blog, then you know I LOVE to make treats! 
Since we are showing Thankful projects, I thought I would make some treats that can be given out this coming Thanksgiving to my dinner party guests. I do host Thanksgiving every year and thought that these would look adorable on everyone's place setting.

The more I look at these the more they remind me of a pumpkin....LOL! 
Anyways I filled up some Medium Candy Bags with chocolate nuggets wrapped in designer paper. 6 fit in these bags perfectly.

Then for the tags I used My Creative Time's Holiday Tag Dies with the sentiment and leaf from A Thankful Heart. To attach my tags to the candy, I used the beautiful Harvest Orange Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl Jam in the Harvest Bundle.

These yummy treats are all ready for the Thanksgiving table!!

3 Girl JAM has put together an awesome prize package of crafty goodness!  
To win it, all you have to do is leave a comment on each stop of the hop.  You can check out all the details on the 3 Girl JAM blog!

Sweet Wishes Just For You....{MCT Do Over Thursday}

Good Morning and Happy Thursday everyone!

Welcome to Do Over Thursday with My Creative Time
where we share projects we have redone from the past, using MCT stamps and dies of course.

For my card today I used this original sketch card that I made HERE and made a birthday card using the newest release's stamps and dies. I just LOVED how the original card turned out and wanted to use the same LO again.
The designer paper is from Bella BLVD~Birthday Boy and I used the newly released Light the Candles stamp and die set for the sentiment and that sweet cupcake. Some 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon, glossy accents and some wink of stella on the flame and some random heart die cuts and that completed my card.

My Creative Time Products Used:

Light the Candles

Bunch of Fun Circle Dies

Tag Die Layers

Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies

That is all I have for now.... I really hope you have enjoyed my Do Over Thursday card!

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!
I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Thursday!!!

PKS Sketch Challenge{14~03} & Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

Morning everyone!

~if you are looking for the My Creative Time 30th New Release Blog Hop post please click HERE~

It is time again for a new Peachy Keen Stamps challenge 

and I am also pretty excited because Peachy Keen Stamps is also sponsoring the new Curtain Challenge Inspiration Challenge this month. 

I was able to play with both the new sketch as well as tie it in with the Photo Inspiration 

 
to make this sweet birthday card.

My inspiration for my card came by combining the sketch and using the peach color, my Peachy Keen Stamps and the flowers from the photo. I think this would make a cute birthday card for any tea lover. Plus the photo makes me think of a beautiful spring day, sitting on the porch, smelling the fresh flowers and enjoying a cup of tea..which I love BTW.

Not only do I just LOVE the January SOTM set (one of my favorites I think) but the face on this adorable tea pot is just the cutest!!!

Supplies Used:

Paper~My Minds Eye~Market

Kraft Card stock

Stamps~Peachy Keen Stamps~January SOTM

Dies~ My Creative Time~Tag Dies

Embellishments~ 3GJ~ Summer Sprinkles Crinkle Ribbon

enamel dots, flowers, pop dots

white gel pen

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with the new challenge!!
You can find out all the details by heading over to the Peachy Keen Blog as well as see the inspiration from the other DT members!

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

Happy Valentine's Day......{Seize the Sketch #13}{Post #2)

Morning again everyone!
If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps February Release Sneak for day 4 please click HERE!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

and here is the Valentine's Day card I made using it!

For my card I used the so super CUTE Peachy Keen Stamps~Valentine Cupids and paper pieced the mouse with a very light gray cardstock. I then added some pink copic color to his ears and mouth, chalk to his cheeks and some diamond stickles to his wings.
The designer paper is from my stash...not exactly sure from where and the white ribbon is from 3GJ.

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!!

A Look Back at My Favorite 3GJ Projects

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

 I am here to

 share some of my favorite projects and to share some sad news.

First for the news......

This is my last post as a 3GJ DT member :(

After over 2 years on the DT, I have decided to step down and give the Challenge Coordinator position over to someone else. It was a very hard decision but something I had to do. 

I have enjoyed designing with Julie's gorgeous ribbon and showcasing my work both here, on the challenge blog and on the 3GJ blog that I will truly miss everyone on this team!

Thank you so much Julie for everything you have done for me and allowing me to share your products with all of my followers!

Merry Christmas Easel Card......{PKS Challenge}

Good Morning Everyone!!!
Another very snowy day here :( I think we are somewhere around the 2' mark for snow from the last 3 days. Great for the kids to play in, but not for driving!!
It's a GREAT thing that I got my grocery shopping done yesterday as well as picked up the last of my Christmas shopping. Now to wrap, bake and finish some last minute gifts!!

 I wanted to share another Christmas card I made for the current Peachy Keen Stamps challenge.

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-49 :: Just Cards :: Glitter

So for my entry, I made a twisted easel designed Christmas card.
I think it turned out really pretty...here it is. Hope you like it :)

These types of cards are never easy to photograph.. Looks ok right??

Anyways I used non traditional colors as my color theme, picking papers from MME~Merry Little Christmas paper pack. Once I had the base of my card put together, I added a layer of white cardstock, followed by my designer paper and then stitched a decorative border around the frame. I stamped my Christmas tree onto the card and paper pieced it using more papers from the same paper pack. The next photo shows the tree closer :)

I stamped the sentiment from My Creative Time~Gift Card Sentiments on the inside and the outside of the card and embellished with some stickles on the tree, star die cuts and added a corner ribbon bow using some 3GJ Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon.

Here is the close-up of the tree. I used the PKS~Santa Tree set and paper pieced the whole thing again using papers from the MME paper pack. To add some sparkle to the tree, I added some silver stickles to random spots on the tree, added some Cotton Candy stickles to the stripes under the tree and to the die cut star on top of the tree.

Supplies Used:
Paper~ Kraft, White, MME~Merry Little Christmas
Stamps~ PKS~12 Santa Tree
My Creative Time~ Gift Card Sentiments
Dies~My Creative Time~All Around Holidays
Embellishments~ Sewing Machine
3GJ Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon
Stickles
Pop dots

So there is my card.
I hope you like it!
Thanks so very much for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!!

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon.....{3GJ Challenge #31}

Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!

I am back hosting the final challenge for 2013 for 3 Girl JAM. 

 This is also the last challenge that I will be hosting as well. After over 2 years on the DT I have decided to step down to pursue other opportunities. I have enjoyed SO much being the DT Challenge Coordinator and working with Julie's gorgeous ribbon! Since I am such a HUGE fan of it, you will be sure to see me sharing LOTS more projects using it as well. I will have one more posting to share on Dec 27th so make sure to check that out as well. It will be a look back at some of my favorite projects!
So with that out of the way :( I want to share that 3GJ is having a DT call!
you can find out all the details HERE!
Julie is awesome to work with and like I said before~her ribbon is AWESOME!!

Now onto this week's challenge which is~ 

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon

The challenge will be open for 3 weeks, 

Dec 13th~ Jan 2nd 2014
so plenty of time to create and share!!

Our challenge is being sponsored by:

with a $10 Gift Certificate to the 3Girl JAM store!

Awesome prizes for sure!!!!

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

Now onto my project!
I wanted to make something little that could be mass produced and handed out as holiday gifts to co-workers, neighbors, teachers, or just about anyone who you need a gift for.
I picked up these cute mini paint pails from Michaels and came up with these....

Since the pails were plain...I used my cameo and some vinyl to cut this adorable reindeer.

After the vinyl was applied, of course it needed a cute tag! I used the Tiny Tags Die from My Creative Time and the Tiny Tag Holidays stamp set for the sentiment and tied it to the handle of the pain with some of the new Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon from 3GJ

I only picked up 2 buckets and will have to head back to Michael's to get some more. What a super fun way to give a Holiday Gift~don't you think???

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with us over at the 

3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog!

Remember this challenge will run for 3 weeks so lots of time to get your

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon 

projects in!!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Have a GREAT Friday!!

I used 2 new stamp sets and a 3" bottle cap to make this ornament....

I hope you like it!

I am super pretty excited with how this turned out :)

The 3" bottle cap I have had in my stash forever, just waiting for a time when I could use it. After seeing the adorable peekers from the PKS set, I knew that they would look adorable inside them~ and they fit perfectly too!!!

There are 2 more cute images on that stamp set~ a penguin and a ginger so I will be finishing up the "series" and making more of these ornaments with those as well.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Echo Park~Winter Park

For my project I made a bunch of Hand Sanitizer gift sets...

There are a few pics so please bear with me...LOL!!

So cute...right???

Here is what I did 

I designed my own cut file in the Silhouette Designer Studio 

to hold the 1 oz Bath and Body Works mini hand sanitizers. 
(I will be sharing this as a freebie too...info on how to get this will be listed below as well)

After cutting out my pieces and assembling the holders, I added some designer paper from My Mind's Eye and attached it to the front panel. Using the adorable PKS penguins from the July SOTM set, I paper pieces them, popped them up to the front and added my sentiment. I die cut the banner using MCT and the sentiment comes from PKS Christmas Mini Tags stamp set.
To finish this set up and to help hold the Hand Sanitizer box close, I added some of the gorgeous new Green Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon to the one holder and some of the Natural Jute Ribbon to the other holder.

Here is another set I made. The same papers and stamps as well, all tied together with the 

Natural Jute Ribbon.

How about another cute set....using the Ribbon Candy Bundle. 

Ok my final set :)

'Tis The Season w/Ribbon.....{3GJ Challenge # 30}

Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!

I am back hosting the new challenge for

3 Girl JAM 

and

this week's challenge is~ 

'Tis The Season w/Ribbon

The challenge will be open for 2 weeks, 

November 29th~Dec 12th
so plenty of time to create and share!!

Our challenge is being sponsored by:

with a $10 Gift Certificate to the 3Girl JAM store!

Awesome prizes for sure!!!!

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

Now onto my project!
I recently won the new Echo Park 'Tis the Season paper pack and couldn't wait to jump into it! I was however holding onto it for the perfect project....
and I think I have found it!

OOOHHHH isn't this so fun??

Here is how I made it~

I used files I picked up from the Silhouette Store

~3D Sled with Present

~3D Presents

and my cameo to cut the sled and 3 presents, all using the coordinating Echo Park papers.

For each of the presents, I wrapped 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Ribbon Candy, Dress White, and Holly Berry. The great thing about the presents is there is room in them for little treats~so fun!!

Then for the sacks I used the small 2" x 3" Cotton Muslin Bags. They are just the cutest and work awesome for holding 2 chocolate nuggets. Since I wanted them more rustic looking, I un~stitched the top, pulled out the drawstring and using my scissors cut off the top.

I stamped the cut Christmas tree using Peeled Paint Distress Ink and the stamp from My Creative Time~ From Our Family to Yours. I wanted to add a bit more color to it, so I added some stickles to the tree and a yellow dot to the top for the star.

(which you can't see due to my bag being folded alittle)

To finish it off, I tied some Moss Jute String around the top and they were ready for the sled.

My sled needed one more thing....a sentiment which I found fit perfectly.

I used My Creative Time~Stitched Oval Die and again the stamp From Our Family to Yours for the "Believe" adding some black brads and foam pop dots.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with us over at the 

3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog!

Remember this challenge will run for 2 weeks so lots of time to get your

'Tis the Season w/Ribbon 

projects in!!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Have a GREAT Friday!!
