MCT 90th New Release Sneak Day 3

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 3 of sneaks for the
90th New Release from My Creative Time!
I hope you are all enjoying the sneaks so far! The new release is such a GREAT one!!
But we are not done yet! Today the DT is showcasing the new
2X2 Note Holder + Add-Ons

Take a look at my inspiration and let me know what you think....

How adorable is this little notebook cover! It holds the 2x2 post it notes which is prefect for throwing in the car or your purse. I know I am always looking for a scrap piece of paper to jot down a thought :)

I made mine with a teacher theme since Teacher Appreciation week is coming up soon.

I used some lined designer paper which I die cut using the new 2x2 Note Holder.

For the sentiment I used the Write On stamp set stamping above and below the opening to the note holder.

Using the new Add-Ons die set, I die cut one of the adorable hearts and attached it to the opening of the holder. It is a great way to cover the opening but still allow for easy reach of the pad.

Finally to finish off my project I wrapped a piece of hemp twine around the whole note holder and tied a small bow off to the side of the heart.

Such a fun new die set to embellish for all sorts of things!!

MCT 67th New Release Sneak Day 4~ Stitched Favor Box

Good Morning!!!
It is Day 4 of sneaks for the
67th New Release from
My Creative Time!

Today is a FAVORITE for me and I know you are all going to FLIP over our sneaks!
Introducing the
Stitched Favor Box
and here are the projects I made using them.....

How fun are these new Stitched Favor Boxes???
Since the end of the school year is almost here for us and I am sure for most of you too, I thought I would make some treats that would be perfect for that special end of the year teacher gifts.
To make these, I die cut the new Stitched Favor Boxes using kraft cardstock. I then stamped the cardstock several times with the cute apple and pencil images from the Write On stamp set. How about that~ custom designer paper!
I put the boxes together and placed them aside as I worked on the sentiment.
Using the Chocolate Greetings set, I stamped the sentiment onto the Ribbon End Banner and then tied the sentiment onto the top of the favor box using some Trendy Twine.
I felt the boxes were kinda plain so I grabbed the apple and pencil stamp/dies from All Around Everything 1 & 3 and colored them using my copics. The images were then attached to the banners to complete my projects!

Happy 100th Birthday.....{MCT Cook & Craft}

Good Morning!
I am sharing a post today for MCT's Cook -N- Craft series where we get to make any kind of project BUT we also share a favorite recipe.
For my project today, I had a request from a friend to make a special birthday card for her grandma who is turning 100 on Tuesday. Since they are going to have a big birthday celebration, I also thought I would share one of my FAVORITE summer time salads that is perfect for a picnic, backyard b-b-que, or in my situation, a just because snack. 

Let's take a look at my card first....

The birthday lady loves to garden and her favorite colors are yellow, pink, purple and green. I incorporated all of those colors into my springtime inspired card.
I used several MCT stamps and dies and love the way this bright and cheerful card turned out!
I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut the pretty polka dot designer paper with the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.
Using both the XL Label Die and the Stitched XL Label Die I made the focal part of my card. The adorable Watering Can Die is from this past new release~ and I added some pretty flowers from the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies. 
Moving along on my card, I die cut the "100"  from the Stitched 4X6 Journal Dies and adhered them to my card front. Using the sentiment from Prehistoric Holidays, I stamped the Happy above the 100 and the Birthday below. I also added the "th" using the Write On stamp set.
Finally I finished my card by added a few hearts from another new release~ Thank You Mom.

Now onto my recipe.....
Again it is such a yummy salsa perfect for chips and makes the best side dish to take to a party. Let me tell you it will be gone in no time and is highly addictive!!
