MCT Scrapping The Little Things ~ flip flop day!

Happy Monday!  Today I get to share my pocket style scrapbooking with you since it's Scrapping The Little Things over at My Creative Time.  If you seen my "scrapping" before, then maybe you've noticed that they are rarely journaled.  I do journal, it's just that tend to keep that private.  :)  

This page is from my vacation to the Bahamas...oh I want to go back!!  After snorkeling , my husband and I found a hammock under two palm trees and fell asleep.  It truly was a great day!

To create the texture background behind the flip flops and some pictures, I used the textured surf board from Surf's Up stamp set.  

That palm tree was my view while relaxing in the hammock.

MCT What A Treat ~ sweet baby!

Hi, today I wanted to share with you a gift card using that I made for my sweet nephew and his wife's new baby...and my first great nephew.  Yep, I'm a first time great auntie!  

They live in Alaska so it's going to be awhile before I get to hold him :(

I'm so excited for my sister/brother in law for becoming first time grandparents!

I've been wanting to create my own plaid using stamps and finally had time to try.  First I gathered a bunch of my stamps that I thought would make cool lines and then narrowed the list down.  I used "streets", "paper lines", and other stamps that weren't made for this technique.  Just another way to get more out of your stamps :)  I used a large piece of paper, so you will be seeing another project with this same "background" paper.

MCT Favorite Stamp/Die Of The Month ~ happy birthday!

Howdy friends...or should I say bonjour!  Today is My Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month over at

  My Creative Time.  This month it's Springtime in Paris stamp and die set!  I LOVE this set and I LOVE the technique I used to create my cards.

I created this card with a resist technique, using glossy cardstock, versamark ink and distress inks.  All you have to do is stamp in versamark ink, let dry then blend your colors.  Where ever you stamped versamark will resist the colored ink.  Oh so simple!

I had so much fun blending I had to create another card by making my own background paper!

MCT Scrapping The Little Things ~ epcot!

Hello friends, today is Scrapping The Little Things over at My Creative Time.

So that means I get to share a wee bit of my recent vacation to Florida.  One of our stops was a day at Epcot!  This was our first time to Florida, so were not used to the weather...at all!  :)

Even with the heat we still had a good time and got to enjoy all the fun/food Epcot had to offer.

It's so hard to capture all this park has to offer when it come to ALL the beautiful flowers and plants.

I created my title card with some quick stamping and copic marker coloring.  Since these images are small the coloring took hardly any time at all...and coloring is so relaxing too!

MCT Tag It Tuesday ~ happy birthday!

Hi, I have a cute little tag to share with you since today is Tag It Tuesday over at My Creative Time.  I  love having tags on hand for different occasions.  This way they can easily be added to a card base or hang from a gift bag for quick wrap.  :)

To create the sentiment banner, I used the banner die from Chocolate Greetings.  By partially cutting the paper, then turning the die and letting the already cut portion hang off the platform, then cutting the flat end again.

MCT July Release Blog Hop ~ my thoughts are with you!

Hey Hey Hey you made it to Friday...let the hopping and shopping begin!!!  That's right 

My Creative Time July Release is officially on sale, so I will totally understand if shop first then hop :)

If you're ready to hop then you should have arrived here from the talented Miss Kim.  Or if you just happened to pop in to see me, you will want to head over to our fearless leader Miss Emma!

For my card I used the new set My Thoughts Are With You.  I decided not to use a sentiment yet, so  I can stamp one inside when I'm ready to use it.  I thought this card could be used for several occasions.

To color the images, I used distress inks and a paint brush.  After it was completely dry, 

I added wink of stella, stickles, and glossy accents.

MCT July Release Sneak Peek Day 4 ~ to my friend!

Wow, today is already Day 4 of My Creative Time's July Release Sneak Peeks!  This week has gone by so fast...but that's a good thing, so the shopping can begin sooner!

Today I get to share with you "Hey There Little Lady" stamp and die set!  This set is just darling!! 

To create this sweet little tag, I first die cut the tag then embossed the lower portion with an embossing folder.  Then quickly stamped the images and sentiment.  Since the images are tiny, it didn't take long to color them with copic markers.  :)  I also added a little bit of copic marker in blue to give a hint of sky.
