Hello, it's 3-D Wednesday at My Creative Time! If you don't know what that is, it simply means we can make anything but a card or a layout!

I placed the rocket on a wobble!!!

I also used Swiss Dots Cuttlebug and stickles on Saturn!

Hi Everyone and welcome to EAD Designs Monday Hop! Some people don't care for Mondays, however I love them! How could I not when I get to start it off with a Hop! Now you should have arrived here from Lauren's blog, but if not then head over to EAD's blog for the start! That way you'll be eligible for this week's giveaway!

I also wanted to share with you a video from start to finish how easy EAD's vinyl is to use!

EAD has over 40 colors of vinyl to choose from!

recipe:

salvage board

paint

EAD Designs ~ Keep Calm & Carry On cream vinyl

In the video I said that my daughter told me it was a Juicy Couture slogan and it might be. However I decided to look it up, this is what Wikipedia said: Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion.

So when I said I wanted it to look old and from another country, I wasn't so wrong after all! hehehe

Your next stop is Amy T!

EAD's Color Challenge and More!

2012-01-12T00:00:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone happy Thursday! I'm so glad it's almost the weekend because as I've been sharing with you this week, next week is going to be super busy with lots of cool projects coming up! And of course I need the whole weekend to work on them! Oh, I might even get some cleaning and laundry done, however I wouldn't want to over do it! lol

Now onto today's project...It's EAD Designs Color Challenge! As soon as I saw these stickerz, I knew that I would be using My Creative Time~You Had Me At Chocolate stamp set with them! It's like they were meant to be together!

I got this idea from my friend, Emma, maybe you've heard of her! ROFLOL!!!

I printed the background on the labels with my Imagine, its a faint pink pattern

Then I stamped the sentiments and added the stickerz to two of them, and just stickerz to the other two. I've also given you a sneak peek of something! Don't tell! :)

I embossed the pink layer and did some more stamping to the background. Added the bow and voila one sweet card!

I'm sorry I don't have the cut sizes for you. There was a lot of welding involved, I really just would know how to explain it. :)

Recipe:

Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

Yummy Imagine Cartridge

2012-01-11T00:00:00.000-08:00

Good Morning and Welcome to My Creative Times 3-D Wednesday! I hope you are enjoying your week so far! I've been super busy creating tons of My Creative goodness! You know we have a new release next week! You're going to love what's coming up! Now lets get to today's challenge.

For today's 3-D Wednesday project, Emma asked us to make any 3-D project of our choice with "TEXTURE" added to it! (anything but ribbon as texture). Also she asked me to use her "All Star Baby" stamp set! I have to admit that sometimes the minute I'm told not to do something, that's all I want to do!

So for my texture I used fabric, twisted and rolled into a rosette! I was a good girl and followed instructions! hehehe

Hello! Can you believe that 2011 is just about over?! This year just flew by for me! Since I don't celebrate my blogaversary (which will be 2 years next month), I decided to do a year in review with some of my favorite projects. This was SO HARD to pick my favorites! I was trying to keep it down to 12, one for each month, but I just couldn't, so I have 13!

I also want to say THANK YOU for all the sweet and kind comments you leave me throughout the year! So in honor of the New Year I'm having a giveaway for a set of My Creative Time 100% Sweetness Stamp Set! All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know which of my favorites is your favorite! Or if you have a different one from this year that I made, let me know that! I always think it's fun to see what others like. Oh, and don't forget to leave a way for me to get in contact you!

Hi! I hope that you have been enjoying your week! Are you getting ready for the New Year...in with the new and out with the old...whatever your "old" may be. Typically I don't make New Year Resolutions, however this year I sort of am. Not the usual, lose weight or get fit, which I really need to do, but be more organized with my time. I don't really consider a resolution just something that needs to be done! :)

So with that in mind, I needed to make some thank you cards. Normally I would've made all them "works of art"! (or what I think works of art are :)) However since I'm starting to be more time efficient, I made 5 cards in about 30 mins and all from scraps and extra stickerz! And they're still cute!

all I did was cut a rectangle 3 1/4 x 6 1/2 ", stamped the dotted square and "thanks" from My Creative Time ~ Small Talk stamp set, then added the Stickerz from EAD Designs! Some of the stickerz I attached to scraps, then cut out and added pop dots. Some I adhered directly to the card. Easy Peasy!!

recipe:

My Creative Time ~ Small Talk Stamp Set

EAD Designs ~ Kawaii Friends Stickerz

EAD Designs ~ New Beginnings

EAD Designs ~ Garden Gnomes

EAD Designs ~ Cottage Friends

EAD Designs ~ Asian Flair

ink, pop dots, scraps

Now I have a special announcement...EAD Designs is having a Design Team Call!

EAD is searching for a few new people to join our Amazing Design Team for 2012.They are looking for all types of crafters
( wood crafters, home decor, paper crafts, scrapbooking, etc)

So if you would like to play with all of their products then click HERE for the details!

Welcome to the Monday Hop with EAD Designs! First of all I want to apologize for not posting more last week. Things just got a little hectic for me right before Christmas! I hope you enjoyed you holiday and time with your family! I sure did! Anyway you should have arrived here from the ever creative Lauren of Lauren's Creative! If you just popped in to see me then please head over to the start at EAD's blog so you don't miss a thing leaving a comment a long the away. This will also make you eligible for the giveaway!

For today's project a I made a quick card using EAD's Tea Time. This is the cutest stickerz sheet, with many images and sentiments! So you certainly could make several cards with only one sheet! And with free shipping on scrapbooking stickerz and rub-ons, this is such a steal!

I just love this saying...I find it to be very true! ;)

recipe:

Shall We Dance Cricut Cartridge ~ label (didn't keep the size...oops!)

Art Philosopy Cricut Cartridge ~ tag

EAD Designs ~ Tea Time stickerz

My Creative Time ~ Keepin' it Classy stamp

Glass Ornaments Revisted!

2011-12-20T00:00:00.000-08:00

Hello! I hope you are enjoying your week so far! Are you done with your gift shopping? Oh, me? Not even close! LOL! Way too busy, having fun crafting! :)

Lately I've been getting the same questions about the Winter Scene Ornaments that I made last year. So, I decided to make another one, but with a twist. This time I used EAD Designs clear stickers inside, instead of Cricut cuts. It's been really fun to see some of you do your own take on my ornaments! You can click HERE to see the original video I made last December! Please remember that this was my FIRST video and I was very nervous! LOL!

I'm sorry these are hard to see, I used only the available light from the tree.

recipe:

Papertry Ink~ Clear Cardstock

EAD Designs ~ Frosty Friends stickerz

My Creative Time ~ Build a Banner Stamp and Die Kit

My Creative Time ~ Mixed Holiday Sentiments

Whisker Graphics ~ Divine Twine

Glass Ornament ~ Michaels

Questions and Answers

1. What size is the circle? That depends on the size of your ornament. If you have a gypsy, cut the circle .10 less than the ornament. Example, ornament is 2 3/4" (2.75) cut circle 2.65 on the gypsy.

2. What size is the scene cut in the original video? Again that depends on the size of your ornament. Unfortunately I didn't keep the sizes of what I did. However it must be around 2" plus or minus, because the ornaments that I'm using are about 2 3/4".

I hope this helps! Let me know if you make any, I'd love to see them!

Enjoy!

Monday Hop with EAD Designs!!

Hello and welcome to the Monday Hop with EAD Designs! First of all I want to thank all of my new followers, I hope that I'll be able to keep you interested and inspired! You should have arrive here form Lauren...isn't she so creative!! If you just stopped by to see me then you'll want to head over to EAD's blog for the start, leaving a comment for each one along the way.

If you've been with me for awhile then you already know that I have recently changed over to 8 x 8 size for layouts. Now I know this isn't for everyone and I might not stay with it, but for now I'm hooked! :) So for today I made a super simple layout...but I don't think it looks simple. That's the great thing about EAD's stickerz!!!

I can't wait for Christmas so I can add my pictures, this will be a two page layout!

I added red and diamond stickles to the stickerz! That's what's great about stickerz, you can make them your own with little details!

Again, more red stickles to Rudolf's nose!

I added Deco Art Snow Writer and diamond stickles to the tag!

recipe:

Teresa Collins ~ Noel paper collection

Recollections kraft paper

EAD Designs ~ Merry and Bright Black stickerz

EAD Designs ~ Merry and Bright Color stickerz

Deco Art Snow Writer

stickles, ink

Your next stop is the UBBER COOL AMY T!

Hi Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your week so far and getting all your Holiday preparations completed! Last month I let you know that Katie from Crafting with Katie and I were published in the November Cricut Magazine! Well, I'm so excited to finally be able to share with you my very first published project! To see Katie's click here!

Of course Cricut Magazine photographers took better pictures than I did. You can find the recipe in the magazine on pages 90 & 91! If you don't have a copy, go ahead and pick one up, there are so many cute projects!

One last thing...I want to THANK YOU for all the sweet comments that you leave me. It's because of you, that I even had the confidence to submit my project to begin with!

Enjoy!
