Life is just a bowl of cherries

Please scroll down to see My Creative Time Design Team project. Thanks!

I love cherries. Love. All kinds - the eating kind, the pie kind, the paper and stamp kind. And these are no exception. Aren't they super cute!? From the Scrapping Cottage In the Kitchen release, I've used several dies and stamps to make this card. I think it looks good enough to eat!


This is the homemade tag with the matching stamp and computer printing all on one message.

I used two different dies, mixing bowl and oven mitt, and cherry stamp on this sweet embellishment.


For a finishing touch, I added a cute little spoon charm to the ribbon. I love charms - they are so .... charming! ;)

My Creative Time Design Team Day

Welcome to Thursday!! My assignment this week for My Creative Time was to use the Race For a Cure stamp set on any project. So fun! I love the versatility of this set. It doesn't have to be just for breast cancer awareness projects, it has so many other possibilities as well!

I decided to do a card for my project using the "believe" sentiment. I think this one simple word says so much to so many for a multitude of reasons. For the frame, I used My Creative Time, Happy Homecoming stamp set.




Who doesn't believe in fairies?? Especially sparkly ones. :)

Handmade flowers with pearl beads added.

Hungry?

Come on over for dinner!! Love love love the chairs die....that I designed. ;) Hope you love it too! For this week's project, I've done a dinner invite using the super cute dining chair. I love that you can "upholster" the cushion in whatever pattern you like.

This one in gold makes an elegant statement on the black chair, don't you think!

Father's Day card

Every year I begrudge the fact I have no Father's Day sentiment stamps and end up printing my message on computer. And every year I forget to look for them once Father's Day is gone. LOL Nothing wrong with printing on computer, you can say exactly what you want in any size you want, but sometimes stamps are so much faster. This year I found in my stamp stash the perfect sentiment! And don't forget to enter your project for the Throwback Thursday Challenge on the My Creative Time blog. You could be the winner of Emma's 7th edition stamp set coming June 24th!!



 From the Happy Homecoming set I used "i love my" and "dad". What could be any more perfect.
