My Creative Time's 3-D Wednesday ~ Father's Day Coupons!

Hello!

Today at My Creative Time, Emma has challanged us on the Design Team to REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!!!!  Some people think "going green" is something new, however our family has been recycling for years! There are days that I feel a bit guilty for using so much paper with my hobbie and that's why I save all my scraps! 

Have you ever been to a restaurant were they use the card board coasters?  Well, we go quite frequently, so I grab them when we leave.  They're just going to throw them away!  So that's what I'm recycling today into a Father's Day Coupon Booklet!

I used real cork for the glasses

I added several type of coupons that I know my husband would like!

Happy Father's Day Card!

Hi Paper Lovers!  I hope your week is going well so far!  Mine is SO BUSY!  Some of my coworkers are out on vacation, so that makes for a busy day.  Then I'm trying to get ready for my daughter coming home.  And getting my design team commitments completed.  Oh, I hope you don't think I'm complaining, I love being busy! 

Today I wanted to share with you a CAS Father's Day I made for my husband.  I'm hoping he doesn't check out my blog this week!  During My Creative Time's release for this set, Katie and Ruthie made cards that inspired today's!

After I stamped the three ties, I added a bit of fine glitter to the stars.  I also added the glitter to the dots on the die cut tie.

My Creative Time ~ Scrappy Monday Layout Challenge!

Hello Everyone!

And a happy Monday to you!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Mine was busy and relaxing at the same time.  I got a lot of things done, but also did somethings for myself!  I'm not going to keep you too long with my stuff since there is alot to see and this is my first of two posts today!

This week's challenge at My Creative Time is a sketch challenge and to incorporate any type of "Fibers" onto our layout! example: jute, burlap, twine, hemp etc...Good thing I just happen to know where I can get some fibers and trims! :)

I hope you don't get tired of see layouts without photos.  I made this for a wedding we will be going to this weekend!  It will be the first time I've had my girls together since Christmas. As they get older, it's harder to get a family picture!  So I'm planning ahead!

My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge!

Hello Everyone!!! I will be posting two times today so make sure you see both of them!

It's time for another My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge!  This time we're doing things a bit different, it's color and cartridge challenge!  All you have to do is use the colors in the picture of the owls and  ANY Older Cartridge of YOUR choice!  Easy Peasy!

I needed to make a card for one of my daughter's friend that's getting married this weekend.  At first I thought it would be hard to make a wedding card with those colors.  However I had just got a bunch of paper from a friend who scored a huge find at Tuesday Morning!  And lo and behold there were the colors I needed!

That is brown brown, it just looks like black in the picture!

To make the ribbon ruffled, I ran ATG tape where I wanted the ribbbon, then just pushed the ribbon where I wanted it to stick.

 The pearls on the flags, seam binding ribbon, and the little clear button are from my Boutique!

EAD Designs Monday Hop ~ Coffee Birthday!

***If you are looking for My Creative Time's Imagine That Monday, click HERE***

Hello Paper Peeps!  This is my second post of the day and both projects coordinate!  Welcome to EAD Designs Monday Hop!  If you arrived here from the super creative Lauren of Lauren's Creative, then you're in the right spot!  But if you just popped in to see me then you certainly want to head over to EAD's Blog for the start!  Make sure to leave a comment along the way for this week's giveaway!

Today I made a cute birthday card with one of my favorite color combos, dusty blue and brown!  I used my Imgine for the my pattern paper.  Then added the cute little EAD stickerz right on to the blue so it would show through the stickerz.  You can get EAD stickerz on white or clear background, I usually get clear.

I also did an effect that my friend Katie of Crafting with Katie did a couple of week ago.  But of course I did with a twist! I cut a strip of paper about 2/3 the width of the seam binding ribbon. Then I used my ATG on the paper and adhered it to the ribbon even with one side. Next I ran the ribbon through a paper crimper. The side with the the paper stays crimped, but the part with no paper backing is just like a little ruffle!

My Creative Time's "Monday Madness.....Imagine That!"

Hello!!!  Welcome to My Creative Time's "Monday Madness.....Imagine That!"   Today we have a theme, and it's HAPPINESS!  What does that mean, you ask?  It means that we are to create anything that makes us happy! 

This was actually hard for me to narrow down, since there are alot of things that make me happy!  However, I finally came up with a coffee gift card holder!  I love giving them just as much as I love receiving them!  So there you go!  What would you create that makes you happy?  Leave me a comment and let me know!  :)

First I ran one pattern through my Imagine, then turned the paper over and ran it through again with a different pattern.  Instant double sided paper!  I thought the front flap needed something else, so I added a  small strip of paper and used a border punch.

The stamped sentiment isn't as light in person as it's showing here

I added a cute little sticker on the inside!
