Blog Hop ~ Cards for Emma!

Hello and welcome to my blog!  

Today is going to be special!  There's a group of us that are EAD Designs fans so we decided to inspire each other to use our goodies!  For those of you that don't remember, EAD Designs created vinyl stickers and rub-ons.  Awesome products but the company closed up shop over a year ago.

I have been hoarding them every since, I love doing these hops so I can play without the guilt.  :)

What all of our projects will have in common is that we are all using EAD Goodies and our challenge is:

Kid-Friendly cards for card drive.

 Please read about the card drive hosted by Kelly, who we're so excited is joining our hop today.  She chats about the card drive on this post:

Kelly's Place

Now you might think this card is a bit "boyish" for a girl and maybe so, but I thought of it more like...going to a far away place with one of her dogs.  A place where her imagination could take her when things are tough!

There is a surprise blog candy!  The more you leave comments on the blogs that are participating, the more chances you have to win!

Want another chance for a prize?!  Make a kid friendly card for Emma!  We'd love for you to join in the card drive!  Make a card for Emma, send it to Kelly and link up over on Amy's blog!

Commenting/Card link up open until Monday, March 24th at 11:59 pm pacific

Winners posted on Amy's blog on Monday, March 31st.

Have fun hoppin'!

End of Year Reflection ~ part 1!

Hi my friends!  I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet lately, I've been working more hours than normal.  And with Christmas just around the corner, I just haven't been crafting that much.  I plan on working on some new projects this weekend, however until then I wanted to show you my favorite cards from this past year!

 

 

This coming year is going to be about my family and spending quality time with those I love!  This isn't a New Year's Resolution just how I'm going to live my life! 

I'll be back with some more of my favorite layouts and 3D projects!

 

I also have a little secret...there is going to be one last My Creative Time release before the end of the year!  I hope Miss Emma won't be upset that I told you!

 

Enjoy!

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to EAD Designs Monday Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from the fabulous Judith. If you just popped by to see me please head over to EAD's blog for the start. The hop doesn't officially start till 8am MST.

 

I have to say it's getting harder the closer we get to the end of EAD Designs.  The card I'm about to show you was actually my second card.  The first one was so bad I couldn't even show it!  I know I have shown my bad ones in the past, but this was really really bad!  So now I'm going to show you my second card, it's no show stopper, but it's way better than my first try!  lol!

So used a die, die cutting both ends, then stitched it up on both sides to create the pocket for the gift card!  Added these adorable stickerz, bows, and a button!

Finished it off with an eylet, some jute and hemp...easy peasy!
