MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 3 ~ Grateful!

Happy Wednesday and Day 3 of My Creative Time September Release Sneak Peeks! Yesterday I shared spooky treat and card, today is all about a grateful, happy heart!

I think fall is my favorite time of year. I tend to gravitate towards all the warm colors and fashion...not that I'm a fashionista by any means :) I just love all that fall brings!!!

So my project today reflects my love for fall...

For my PL cards, I stamped a sentiment on top of pattern paper that already looked layered...this saves so much time and bulk. Oh, don't you just love the new leaf dies!!! Simply stunning!

The handwritten word dies are to die for too!

MCT September Sneak Peek Day 2 ~ Spooky!

Good morning, today is My Creative Time September Release Day 2 Sneak Peeks! You are going to LOVE today's sneaks! I know you are going to want to have both of the sets that we are featuring today!!! It's almost that spooky, scary time of the year. To get you in the mood I have a couple of projects to share with you.

This treat bag and tag was super quick to make! After stamping the background on the tag, I swooshed Wink of Stella over the whole thing. It's hard to for the camera to pick up, however it's noticeable in person. :)

For this card I stamped the sentiment on the card base then covered it with the vellum. Then stamped the spider on top of the vellum and added a bit of glossy accents.

If you look closely, you can see the stitching on the vellum from one of the new dies!

Today is all about the details...you know the details that you didn't realize were missing until you added them. That's when you wonder how lived without these crafty beauties this long! ;)

There are so many pieces to this new die set, I couldn't possible use all them!

I love the way the "window" dies nest to get that layered look.

MCT Thrifty Thursday ~ Big Girl!

Hey it's Thrifty Thursday at My Creative Time! For me this is a great way to use those die cuts that I thought were not usable when I first cut them. This is exactly why I never throw anything away! Ok, lets face it...I'm a HOARDER! lol!

I pulled out a few different things from my die cut jar, looked at them and choose a couple of items.

And this is what I came up with :)

I was able to mask off the "it's a" in order to stamp "girl!" by it's self. Just another way to make your stamps go farther! :)

MCT Scrapping The Little Things ~ You & Me!

Happy Monday! Today is Scrapping The Little Things at My Creative Time. I don't know about you, but I love using a sketch for inspiration. Also when choosing a sketch, don't get thrown off if it's for a card. You can always use it for a layout. Or even the other way around.

I used this sketch for the larger pocket card, except I chose to use stars instead of circles. Remember the sketches are for inspiration, so it doesn't have to be exact.

I thought it would fun to cut the bicycle in half for the two cards. I have left room on both cards for either pictures or journaling. On the second card, I die cut the "&" about 5 times and glued together. Then added glossy accents on top. It's such a cool look in person!

Again on the large card I left space for a picture.

PKS Photo/Color/Sketche Challenge ~ Boo!

Hello, peachy friends! It's time again for a color, photo, sketch challenge with Peachy Keen Stamps! I love the PKS challenge since you have the choice to use any part for inspiration. I've used all three, however you don't have to. You can pick one part of it or all of it!!!!

Isn't this what being creative is all about!

I LOVE Halloween, but not in the over the top trying to scare someone in to having a heart attack. Just the goofy, fun, and spooky kind of Halloween! That's why I love the porch in the photo, it was the inspiration for the broken fence, even though the porch is in pristine condition. :)

It's super cool how you can mix and match so many PKS sets, even with some that are older. Like the new pumpkin with the Make a Monster Face assortment set.
