MCT Inspire Me Wednesday


Hello! It's Inspire Me Wednesday at MyCreativeTime today. I don't have a picture of my inspiration, I was just in the mood to make a Valentine. :) I used the super awesome Stitched Postage Frame dies for my panel. Then I used the hearts from the new You Touched My Heart set {my new fave hearts!} to make my shaker. I ombre inked the awesome new Love Die and covered it with wink of stella and glossy accents. I also used the Vintage Labels Die for the banner. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more projects! :)

Have a great day!

You Rock


Hello! Here is a card I made with the super cute/funny unicorn wearing crocs rocking horse illustrated by Collin Chan. Collin is the creator of the Periscope Art Challenge, and you can get this image and others for free by going HERE. :) Anyhoo, I colored this with my Copics, and fussy cut it out. I added lots of wink of stella, and glossy accents to the rockers. I put it on a wobble, so it really does rock. :)

I hope you have a HAPPY day!

Gingerbread girl gift box


Hello! I picked up this plain little gingerbread box {pack of 4} on sale at Joanns. I dressed it up with a face from the Snowmany Face Assortment set by PeachyKeenStamps. I used a white paint pen to draw around the body. Added some buttons and called it done. It was the perfect size to house the personalized stamp from Bossy Joscie that I had made for my Nana. She LOVED the stamp and the box. :)

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Eat, Drink, and be awesome.


Hello! Happy Christmas Eve! This card I made for FUN using an ugly sweater of one of my favorite bands, Blackberry Smoke. Please don't anyone have a cow over what those horses are doing on the sweater! HA! Anyhow, I used the Ugly Sweater set by SimonSaysStamp to paper piece the sweater. I shaded it with Copics, and added some detail with a fine tip marker. The greeting is from the Sweater Words set by SimonSaysStamp. I did a little stamp surgery to make it say "and be awesome". :) I also used the Stitched Postage Frames dies and the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies by MyCreativeTime

I got tickets to see Blackberry Smoke in February for myself for Christmas, and unfortunately I'll be rocking alone since the Navy will still have my man. But I'm super stoked to see them again. I LOVE THEM!!!!!! 

I hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! My kitty Simba and me will be celebrating together this year. :)

Merry Christmas


Hello! Here is a card I made with a specific, fellow yellow loving friend in mind. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies from MyCreativeTime. I used distress ink and water to make my bokeh backgrounds. I silver heat embossed the tree from the Family And Friends set by Hero Arts. The Merry Christmas die cuts are from the Holiday Tags set by MyCreativeTime. I should say that I used the round ink blenders and water to remove color to make the light spots. Easy peasy. 

Happy Christmas Eve, Eve!

May your days be merry and bright


Hello! I used the adorable Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant for this card. I started by using the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime to cut the panel. Then I used the super fun Stitched Interactive Window Trio die by MyFavoriteThings. I stamped and colored my images with Copics. 


And the sweet reindeer are hiding in there. Eek! :) The greetings is from an old PeachyKeenStamps set that is no longer available. 

I hope you have a MERRY day. :)
