Today's project was so much fun and as you can see, I do love the clouds!!

Here is a side view of the chubby little airplane on a wobble. This is so stinkin' cute I can hardly stand myself, and I'm sure you'll be loving it too.

This sweet sentiment is great for sending a card with an encouraging message.

Ok, you may have already seen a few teeny sneaks from Emma's blog earlier this week, but now you get to see the whole project. Yay! For my card I used these sentiments from the Fly Away With Me stamp set, and the hot air balloon die. I love the new dies with this release, they are so fun!

I used Glossy Accents on the basket and balloon trim, and hemp twine for the ropes.

And because this release is so much fun to work with, my hands kept making stuff and I came up with this second card. :) I am so in love with the stitched edge clouds!!!!{Note: for the first card, I did not have the dies yet, thus my QK cloud instead of the stitched MCT version.} This time I used one of the kite stamps minus the tail, and added my own twine tail.

The banner is also a die from this release. Loving this adorable Fly Away set.

 Clouds. Just one word for these....LOVE! :)

It's time for My Creative Time 3D Wednesday!

This week Emma has added a twist to 3D Wednesday. Not only are we doing a 3D project, but also we are  using something in our home that would typically be thrown away. Yes, we are RECYCLING! For my project, I decided to make something from this ribbon spool. Goodness I have tossed enough of these things in the trash, it's time I used one for good, right!? :) You'll never guess what I came up with! -- or maybe you will. ;)

Here is the beginning of the project....can you guess yet?

Ok enough guessing games. I made a sweet little keepsake box for grandgirl, Courtney, who turned 7 on the 7th. She LOVES fairies and sparkles and jewelry and all things girlie. I think I scored big with this little project! :)

Product List:
My Creative Time, Teeny Tag Greetings
My Creative Time, Stitched circle die {small flower}
Empty ribbon spool
Graphic45 Once Upon a Springtime paper collection
My handmade flowers
Memory Box leaf dies
Making Memories metal initial charm
Ribbon, stickles, pearl beads, string pearl beads, button, ink

Thanks for looking. Be sure to check out all the fab projects from all the other MCT designers as well. You won't want to miss the awesomeness everyone is sharing with our recycle assignment today!!!!

It's Scrappy Monday with MCT

Welcome to Scrappy Monday! Today's challenge is to use the sketch below for your layout AND incorporate texture in the form of twine, jute, burlap, etc. Are you game!? You have until June 24 to upload your page to the My Creative Time blog. Come and play with us!

Here's my take on the sketch.

For my layout subject, I decided on these pics of my grandson, Jeffery, who graduated high school on Friday. When he first started playing sports he always chose number 7 on all of his teams. Because he was 7 years old, of course! :) 

Here he is hustling down the soccer field!

Title using My Creative Time Soccer stamp set. I cut soccer ball "O" and popped it with foam tape and added twine and a blue star to match the team colors.

This soccer ball is larger than the "O" in the 'soccer' word and the perfect embellishment. Again I popped it with foam tape for dimension. These grassy stars I cut from the parts of photos that I cropped off from the smaller ones.

My Creative Time, Soccer stamp set
Bazzill textured cardstock
Bazzill swiss dot cardstock
October Afternoon, 5&Dime 8x8 paper pad

Thanks for coming by for Scrappy Monday. I hope you'll join the MCT team and share your take on this week's sketch challenge. Have a crafty week!

Highline High School Graduation

My first grand, Jeffery, with his girlfriend. I can't even believe he has graduated high school already. I could not be more proud of him....and of his mommy, my daughter!!  Follow your dreams, Jeffery.
