My Creative Time Designer's Challenge

Hi I'm so excited to be hosting this week's Designer's Challege!! 

 If you have visited my blog then chances are you know I LOVE googly eyes!! I just think they make everything a little bit  more fun!  lol!! So for my challenge you can make any project you like, just include googly eyes somewhere on it! Easy peasy as Emma would say! :)  

 I made a Halloween card using the Mini Monsters cartridge!

The card is a 5X7 size.  Frank is cut out at 5 1/2 inches.  I added some orange glitter glue to his tie and Glossy Accents to his shoes (which then made his hair look weird so I added some to there too!). The sentiment is from MCT's  Mixed Holiday Sentiment stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you join along in this challenge!  I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!

My Creative Time 3D Wednesday

Hi and welcome to another MCT 3D Wednesday!  For today's project Emma asked us to make a "Photo Display".   While looking around on Pinterest I came across a cute idea to make a picture frame (which you can see here!)  where you can swap out the photos anytime you want.

So this is my take on that idea!  

I used a 5X7 frame and papers from the Echo Park Hello Summer collection.  Behind the paper is a piece of roofing tin that I picked up at Home Depot,which my husband cut to fit! :)   I used Emma's  Flower Petal dies to make the flowers and then glued magnets to the back of them to hold up the picture.  The sentiment on the banner was made using the alphabet stamps from MCT's Just Simply Live set. 

The picture is of my little Mariana :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My Creative Time Sneak Peek Day 2!

Hi and welcome to day 2 of MCT's September mini release! :)  Today I am showcasing the new "Just Tags" dies!  I knew when I saw them I wanted to make a Halloween card using them as a tombstone and this is what I came up with!

Hee hee!!  I even tried out a free photo editing site (picmonkey) to add this spooky cool effect around the picture! lol!  Thanks Ruthie!!  

Anyway.......the card is 5X7.  As I said the tombstone is made from the new MCT  Just Tags die set. For the epitaph  (fancy word for the writing on the tomb!)  I used the alphabet stamps from the Just Simply Live set.  Fred the zombie is from the Lettering Delights Zombie Land cut it set!  The bats and bird are Recollection stickers from Michael's!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wobble Wednesday Challege

Oh my gosh!!! I had to LOL when I saw what the theme for this week's challenge over at Wobble Wednesday was.......use a project that you feel just didn't turn out right!! We all have those don't we!?!  At least I sure do.  In fact I made a card yesterday and I just wasn't feelin it after I got done!!  Maybe it's the big dead tree in the background or the row of polka dot paper in the center, I don't know but I just wasn't happy with it and I glued everything down really good so there was no redoing it!! 

So I carefully removed (aka....ripped) the owl off and stuck him on an Action Wobble! :)

Now OWL is well!!  har har!

and here he is a wobblin

The owl and bird and sentiment stamps are all from a Hampton Arts stamp set.

The tree is from Mini Monsters.

My Creative Time ~ Scrappy Monday Challenge

Hi and Welcome to another MCT Scrappy Monday Challenge!  For this challenge you just have to use your Cricut or Cameo to incorporate something into your layout!

I used this cute picture of my girls and their cousins riding a camel at the Phoenix zoo! It was a fun day and they had a blast riding him! 

For my Cricut cut I used the palm tree from Create A Critter.  It is the accessory cut from the Dinosaur.  It is   

sized at 4".  The papers are all from The MME 12X12 paper pack Stomp!!  It is one of my favorites for boy projects and now for zoo layouts! :) The sentiments and fun spotted arrow stamp are from My Creative Time's Just Simply Live Set.  I stamped the sentiments on to the coordinating label die that comes in the set!  If you don't have this one check it out here!  It has quickly become one of my favorites! 

The burlap and twine are both from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique!

I hope you join us in this challenge! I look forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Happy Hello!

Hello and Happy Friday!  Hope you are having a good one so far!  Here in AZ it has been a wet one!  

Just wanted to share a card I made for one of my Crafty Pen Pal gals!  It was quick and simple!

 It is a 5X7 size card. 

The image stamps and sentiment are all from Hampton Arts.  I colored the birds in with Prisma colored pencils, cut them out with my Spell Binder Circle dies, popped them up on some foam tape added some ribbon and that was it!  

Thanks for stopping by!
