I only have eyes 4 you!

Hi!  I just wanted to share a card I made today using a cute little monster SVG file from Lettering Delights.  When I saw Ruthie's (from September Ninth blogspot)'s card she made using one of these little guys I knew I had to check them out!! They are all just so adorable! :)  IMHO anyway!  lol!

My brother in law asked me if I would mind making a card for him to give to his wife (my sister in law) for Valentine's Day.  He has a fun sense of humor so this is what I came up with!

Hope you like it! and thanks for stopping by!

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi and Welcome!  This Throwback Thursday Challenge is a Valentine Challenge! Fun!
:)


For my card I used the Create A Critter cartridge. The card is an A2 size.  The monkey and banana were both cut out at 2 3/4 inches. I used some Bazzill card stock I had on hand.  The background paper is from the K &Co Valentine paper pack from this year.
I stamped the sentiment, which is from the MCT's "You Had Me At Chocolate" set, onto the Stitched Heart I made using the Stitched Heart die that is included in the "100% Sweetness" set.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you play along with us! :)

Hi and Welcome to the My Creative Time January Stamp Release Blog hop!  If you arrived here from Shar's blog you are in the right place!

Today I am showcasing the new Soccer set!



I decided to do a layout with a picture I had of my little daughter at one of her first soccer practices!  I just love this picture, she was having so much fun that day! :)




The layout is 8X8.  I used a paper I had in my stash, i think it is from My Minds Eye.  I used the Build a Banner set for the soccer banner along the side.  I also used the Anyday Bingo and Crossword set to stamp the word soccer on the banner. The sentiments "I'd rather be playing" and "Soccer" are both from the Soccer set as well as the cool silhouette and the soccer ball!!

Favorite Stamp of the Month: You Had Me At Chocolate!

Hi! and welcome to My Creative Time's Favorite Stamp of the Month Thursday!  For this month will we be featuring "You Had Me At Chocolate!"  If any of you "My Creative Time" friends own this stamp set, feel free to link up a project of your choice using "You Had Me At Chocolate"! You have 2 weeks to do this. If you don't own it, you can purchase it here at a special "discounted" price!

For my project today I used my Cameo for the first time!!  It was my Christmas present from my Hubby! :)  While it was time consuming to make it wasn't all that difficult.  The software seems pretty easy to navigate around in.  My biggest challenge was loading the mat correctly!!  I always have a problem with that when using my Gypsy too! :)

Anyway......I made a swing card using a cute file I found in the Silhouette store.  I thought it went perfect with the sentiment :) 




I stamped the sentiment onto My Creative Time's Stitched Heart die from the 100% Sweetness set.  I absolutely LOVE how so many of the MCT stamps and dies can be mixed and matched with each  other.  I think Emma really puts a lot of thought into her designs to help us get the most out of them! :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Bugs :)


Just wanted to share a card I made today giving you a peek at one of the new stamps Emma at My Creative Time will be releasing later this month.  So it's a little peek of a sneaky peek! :)  I LOVE this set and I know you are going to as well!

The card is an A2 size.  The little love bugs are from the Simply Charmed cartridge.  They are cut out at 2 1/2 inches and I flipped one (using the handy flip button on the Cricut!)  I was seriously NOT going to use google eyes on this but they REALLY  needed them! lol!  The paper is some I had in my stash.  The heart and coordinating "love" stamp are from My Creative Time's 100% Sweetness set. 

Thanks for looking!

My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge!

Hi and Welcome to the first Throwback Thursday Challenge of 2012!  For the challenge I made a football themed card using the Playtime Cricut Lite cartridge and My Creative Time's Touchdown stamp set as well as the Scalloped and Stitched Circle die set. 


The card is an A-2 size.  Little "Trevor" was cut out at 3 1/2".  The little football strip is made from one of the stamps from the touchdown set.  I stamped it in Memento Coco ink.  I also used the all around sentiment from the set and stamped that on to the stitched circle with the same ink. I added a button and some twine in the middle.  The paper is all from DCWV Guy Stack.  The face is a Peachy Keen stamp from the Wide Eyed Kids assortment set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy New Year!!

Hi!  I feel like it has been forever since I posted anything!!  I have been so busy with the holidays and all 4 of my children being home for Christmas vacation that I have had no time to craft!!  I plan on getting back into the swing of things very soon though! :)  I hope everyone had A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

I thought I would post some of the first cards I made after getting my Cricut :)  Apparently  I have always had a thing for busy background paper!  lol! Oh well! :)


I made this card for a Tacky Tuesday Challenge. The challenge was to use a bunny cut and the word hop in the sentiment!  I thought it was kind of fun :)


This was another card I made for the Tacky Tuesday Challenge (a group on facebook).
For this one you had to use the Cow from Create A Critter and the word Moo or Cow (i think) in the sentiment.  And look O_O  No googly eyes!! 


And this is a Birthday card I made for my niece Jessie.  I thought it was cute because it's a little Caterpillar dreaming of the day  she will become a butterfly! :) 

Thanks for stopping by!
