Tag-it Tuesday with My Creative Time

We managed to make it through another Monday, which means today is Tuesday tags. :) I used leftover paper scraps from my layout yesterday to make this little gift tag.


Every piece was something I had cut but didn't make it to my scrapbook page. I love using leftovers! The tiny banner is from Vintage Label and Banner. To get this new size, I cut the piece the length I wanted it, ran it through on the die and cut one end; then I placed the piece back in the die matching up the stitching (which is not at all as difficult as it sounds) with the cut end over the points and ran it through again. Voila! Double ended fishtail tag in a new size. Tiny sentiment from the All Around Goodies stamp set.

The flower embellishment is made using the flower petal dies again, leaf dies, and the small button flower die from the stitched buttons dies.

Scrapping The Little Things with My Creative Time

Welcome to another week and another Scrapping the Little Things. Today's scrapbook page really is about the little things...my littlest grandgirl, Emmalyn aka Emmy. :) She's wearing her cousin, Gracie's, glasses. Isn't it funny how much little kids like to try on glasses. She's so cute in them too!


I used the flower petals and scalloped circle for my flowers, in addition to couple of punches and buttons.

More flowers, cuz of course I luv 'em! My title sentiment  and cute glasses are from the Here's Lookin' at You stamp set and the tags are from the Chunky Jar Accessories die set.

Product List:
My Creative Time, Flower Petals
My Creative Time, Scalloped Circle
My Creative Time, Here's Lookin' at You
My Creative Time, Vintage label and banner
My Creative Time, Chocolate Greetings flag
Papers are an older collection by Crate Paper called Cowgirl Collection

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-44, Leaves

Guess what day it is....no silly, it's not hump day, it's my favorite FRIDAY! Yippee!! :) I hope your weekend is full of fun and relaxation. And crafting if you're so inclined! Today I'm sharing this card I made for the current Peachy Keen Challenge, 13-44: Just cards - Leaves. I love leaves. But you probably already know that if you follow this blog. :) Here's my finished card using the PK1340, Clearly Autumn Quart Jar Contents set.


This lovely sentiment is included in that set as well. I used a Quickutz label die for the sentiment, and cut out the leaf stamp adding a button and twine to make my embellishment.

Using the fall leaf in this set, I stamped and clear embossed a background of leaves, then made a rainbow affect with my Tim Holtz distress inks. I like it! Hope you do too. :)

Designer Challenge, Thanksgiving Theme

It's time for a new Designer Challenge! Glorajean is up this week with a Thanksgiving theme challenge. Create any project you wish, as long as you incorporate My Creative Time products using a Thanksgiving theme. Easy peasy!



I used the Piles of Smiles set for my sentiment, and Chunky Jar Accessories dies for the label. Card design pinterest-inspired.

For my second card, I used the Just For You tag stamps set, using just the "give thanks" part of the sentiment. All these papers and flowers were a RAK from a friend and former DT sister. Spellbinders dies for the backdrop and the Indian corn die by Cottage Cutz.

As soon as I saw this pattern paper, I knew it would be perfect for the Indian corn! Cool, huh?

3D Wednesday time!

Warning: TONS of pics! {and still not every page is pictured} Mini book. Oh, how I love making mini-books! This one is truly no exception. I have had this paper pad for so long and never used it, waiting for just the right project. Well, THIS is it. Featuring BoBunny, Weekend Market 6x6 papers, this book is jamb packed with lots and lots of tags, photo pages, pockets, and fun. I really love the finished project. Hope you will too. :)

The cover of my book gets lots of fun embellishments, including lace, tulle, flowers, beads, charms and tags. LOVE!

 Inside pages include tabs,

 various shaped pages with embellies,

and sentiments,

 journaling pages,

 tickets and tags for dates, names,

or just for fun.

There are large tag pages that you can easily add photos to as well as journaling.


And more tags, charms,

and photo pockets. This one has a window and slide-in photo pocket.

Lots of space for lots of photos,
 journaling,

and artificial limbs. Oh wait....seriously?? An old ad for artificial legs and arms, the most perfect substitutions scientists had ever invented at the time. I was thinking the sewing machine ad was cool, and didn't even notice the leg ad until now. I had no idea they were sold through newspaper ads. Wow!

Well there you have my latest mini book. Totally love how each and every page and element turned out. The pictures simply do not do this paper line justice. It's really beautiful in person!
