Throwback Thursday Challenge at MCT


Hello to all my Creative time peeps!! Today is another Throwback Thrusday Challege at My Creative Time! For todays project, we were challenged to use any cartridge with a frame. I made a layout and used a frame from the Teresa Collins Baby Boutique. Its a very non traditional baby layout of my son but I still like how it turned out!

Favorite Stamp of the Month at My Creative Time

Hello everyone and welcome to another My Favorite Stamp of the Month at My Creative Time! This months stamp is the ""My Teacher Rocks Stamp Set"". This is a great set to own because it can be used all year round. I've used this a few times already for a few special teachers. For my project today, I made this simple but classy card. I used Graphic 45's ABC Primer Paper and black Recollections card stock. I embossed my sentiment using Ranger 's Seafoam white embossing powder. I cut the images from the G45 collection and popped them up using Stamp'in Up dimensional's. I finally got a chance to play with my Tim Holtz Distress markers and used them to color the image of the little girl. My little heart was stamped with the Any Day Bingo and Crossword Stamp Set. I finished the card off with some Prima lace.



Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to link up your projects on Miss Emma's blog. Also, this stamp set will be on sale only for a limited time so don't forget to visit Miss Emma's Shoppe. Big crafty hugs to you all!

Youtube Layout Blog Hop


Welcome to our first Youtube layout hop!! I'm so excited to be part of this awesome hop today! We have some amazing and talented ladies joining us today. Im happy you were able to stop by! Let me tell you a little about the Youtube Layout Hop...

Each month we get back to traditional scrapbooking by making layouts. Hop along with our participants for a chance to win some awesome prizes from our sponsors! Zoe, Crafty X created the YLH to inspire more of us to get those altered projects out of the way and get back into scrapbooking! Please visit us on YouTube  here.

For my layout, I used DCWV paper and distressed the edges. I layered my photo with chipboard and a small envelope. I added some I Am Roses flowers to tie it all together. For my title, I used Tim Holtz Masks with distress inks. I think it came out pretty neat.  






Up next is the talented Jessica. Please make sure you leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win my blog candy..If you become a follower, you will be entered twice! Oh I guess I should tell you about the blog candy! Well here it is!!
