My Creative Time DT Call !

Hello! Hope all of you are enjoying your Saturday night!! Man oh man! When I saw Emma at My Creative Time had a design team call I was BEYOND excited! I have been a using her stamps as soon as I found them! Needless to say, I ♥ her crafty projects! Great, great inspiration! I kept thinking day after day about ideas, but by Friday I had "so many" I couldnt create one :/ anywhoo... I was about to just let it go, buuuut Im so glad I have a wonderful, encouraging husband that insisted I do it! Enough of that, and here it is :) So today, I whipped this baby up and JUST finished!

 My 12x12 layout includes two 4x4 photo mats.  The 12x12 paper is one of my fave's from the DCWV Mango Frost stack (also the photo mat paper). The yellow scalloped is from We R Memory Keepers Textured cardstock stack. The rest, were "extras" :)

 Me, drinkin' my coffee just like every other morning ! hehe
"You bring out the happy in me!" is from the "Turn That Frown Upside Down" set.
I head embossed the coffee mug onto my dress. The coffee mug is from "My Favorite Sayings"

Sorry this picture is sideways, I coudnt manage to flip it. :( but my "hubby" is holding a box of chocolate and a "love letter" hehe

The "kiss me" is from the "You Had Me at Chocolate" set.

"Together forever..." is also from "You Had Me at Chocolate"  [I just picked up the Fiskars Notebook punch and ♥♥♥ it!]

Good morning! I know I mentioned this already, but I havent posted on here for a LONG time... so what have I been up to? ... well I've been handling work, lost puppy, and life in between -all while trying to craft in those free moments. Recently I was turned on to Tim Holtz Distress Inks and I have to say, I ♥ THEM! I have also been learning new techniques, styles, and forms of crafting, etc.. but more of that later! :)
I made this "tall" card for my bff, obvious? ;) [WARNING: I'm a novice distresser lol]

If I remember correctly I used: Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, and Dusty Concord for the background.
The stamp is from the Inkadinkado "Friendship" stamp set, which I stamped with Vintage Photo distress ink.

Trying to get the hang of this distressing, but heyyy, gotta start somewhere!

Thanks for looking!

I gotta start making more time for crafting ♥    Today I want to share with you a word book I made for my friend ! Photos are covered so they don't get mobbed by the paparazzi hehe Be prepared... it might be a long post! 

I thought I'd wrap this baby with ribbon so it wouldnt look so simple... It was a good "idea" lol just not properly executed.

"Forever" is from Tie the Knot (monogram feature.) The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Lovealicious" Oh! and the "LOVE" on the side duuuh thats from Mickey Font cartridge!

"O" :   "L♥VE" is from Simply Sweet cartridge

Back of "O":  "just chillin'" is from Create a Critter

"V" :   No cricut work here :o(

Back of "V":  The nail polish is from Forever Young cartridge & the cowboy boot is  from Birthday Cakes cartridge (for those of you that dont know, you can use Cricut Cake cartridges on all cartridges :] )

"E" : The heart with the circle in the center is from Wild Card cartridge, the couple is from Sweethearts.

Back of "E" : lol the back is my fave! I love this darn crab! too cute! he's from Smiley Cards. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Amusing Animals." The black circled "border" is from Accent Essentials.
