My Creative Time- Thrifty Thursday

Make A Wish Birthday Card...

 

Good Morning All! First, I would like to say Happy Happy Birthday to My Beautiful Niece! She turns 17 today. I hope you have an amazing day, even though you have to go to school.

 

 

For today's Thrifty Thursday project, I am showing you all a colorful and vibrant Birthday Card I created for my Niece. She Loves Cupcakes and lots of color. So, what better way to combine those two, if not in a card.

 

 I love how My Creative Time products make this card look like it took a lot of work to make. Yet, no time at all it was created. These dies and sentiment stamp can be seen and purchased HERE, along with many more My Creative Time products.

Of course I have to save every scrap of ribbon I have leftover from previous projects. These pieces were enough to create a border across the card and attach a small bow. Looking through my stash of brads, I managed to find a cupcake brad... perfect embelly! I just added some stickles for added shine.

I love using some of the My Creative Time stamped sentiments, for the inside of the card as well.

 

The base of the card measured 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Every background paper for it was cut 1/4" smaller than the other.

 

I like to cut my leftover scraps into 6"x6" for card backgrounds. Then, the smaller scraps I like to save as well for die cuts. Every leftover piece seems to be useful in my craft room.

Thank you so much for stopping by to view my Thrifty Thursday project. Be sure to head on over to My Creative Time to take a look at the rest of the Design Team projects!

 

 

 

 



 

 



MCT's- Scrapping the Little Things

You're So Cute Halloween Page...                                      

 

Happy Monday All! I hope you all had a very fun and creative weekend. As for me, I had a very much needed weekend off. Lately, I have been working a lot of 12-14 hour shifts. So, crafting was put on hold until I had a bit of time to play. Did some re-organizing in my Craft Room. And of course, I played a little too. So, let's get started with today's FUN project. Today, My Creative Time and Design Team are sharing some crafty inspiration. We are "Scrapping the Little Things", with Project Life, Smash Books, or simply creating some Scrapbooking Pages.

Since, I don't own a Project Life Book or Smash Book, I chose to do an 8"x8" Scrap Page.

 

I love that I was able to incorporate older release dies with new ones. And these FUN dies are so versatile, they really fit any theme of page you may be working on. I started with one idea and my creative mind took me to use all sorts of dies to decorate this page.

 

My Goodness, I saw this pic and knew this was perfect for this page. This pic is about 8 years ago. doesn't she look cute and creepy!?!?

 

The ghost eyes are from the stars and eyes background stamp.

 

I couldn't resist not putting some vibrant ribbon and feather since it was a girly page. 

 

I hope you are all getting all your Pages ready to put all those cute and scary trick o' treater pics in them.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day, to view my project for today.

My Creative Time's: 3-D Wednesday

Butterfly Canvas Wall Decor...

 

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends! Welcome back for another episode of My Creative Time's 3-D Wednesday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this day because I always tend to go for Home Décor. It really gives me a chance to decorate my home or just give something created by me to a special family member or dear friend. If you are new to My Creative Time or 3-D Wednesday, it is a day where anything goes except Cards or Layouts.

 

My Inspiration for today's project came from a BBBB (Big Beautiful Black Butterfly) that was at my parent's house the other day. One of my great loves besides CUPCAKES, would be Butterflies. So, this is what I came up with:

 

I started with a clean white canvas. Did lots of distressing and painting to the canvas. Once, the paint and distress inks were dry, I added some gold stickles for dimension and sparkle. Let the sparkle dry then stamped the background stamp Script Type Backgrounds Stamp Set with a Sepia Ink Pad.

With Black Ink, I stamped the Sentiment Treasured Moments Stamp Set . Silhouette Butterflies are from the Chunky Jar Accessories Set .

I had a package of Butterflies saved up for a special project. This definitely was the perfect project for one of those beautiful project.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Don't for get to head on over to My Creative Time for more Crafty Inspiration from the rest of the Design Team Members.

MCT's Scrapping the Little Things

VMHS 11th Grade Scrap Page...

 

Happy Morning and a Happy Crafty Monday All! Welcome back for another post of My Creative Time's, Scrapping the Little Things. The Design Team is creating Memories with Project Life, Smash Books, or Scrap Layouts. The theme for this week's Scrapping the Little Things is "Back to School". Using of Course Stamps Sets and Dies from My Creative Time.

 

For my project today, I worked on a layout for my Son's Scrapbook. I am so impressed of how simple and fast this Layout was to create. I have been planning to get all of my Son's pics scrapbooked for awhile now, so I can get them all ready for his Graduation DVD, for next year. I would hate to get everything done last minute. That would be a lot of work for his Senior year. Here are some shots of his 11th Grade Scrap Page:

 

 

I was debating on putting any bling on this page. I wanted to keep the masculine look. But, I think it looks ok because it gives it dimension and it goes with the background paper.

 

PAGE LAYOUT SIZE: 8"x 8"

 

My Creative Time Supplies Used:

 



Chocolate Greetings Stamp Set

 

Just Simply Live Stamp Set

 

Vintage Stitched Label Dies

 

Build a Banner Kit

 

Lowercase Fun Dies

 

Stitched 3x4 Journal Die

 

Stitched 4x6 Journal Die
