Boy's Birthday


  Whew, what a hot past couple of days. Good thing we have Friday night late creates at Make Time To Create. Dolly & Mary are doing this every Friday night this summer. The best remedy for a hot day. That is where I made this fun card for a male birthday. The paper selection MTTC (Make Time to Create) is awesome. They have new products coming in all the time. I wouldn't normally put these greens and blues together but I think they work very well together. Love the new buttons from American Crafts. They have a silver sheen to them and really make the card pop along with the shiny star brad. The buttons come in several different packs. Some all silver some silver, gold and bronze, and other multi-color packs. They are new to the shop. I also used the happy Birthday sticker out of the Party Time Boy from Pebbles Inc., which has several other birthday sayings. There are so many things to pick from and coordinating accessories to choose from to make your card or scrapbook page awesome.
  What I also like about MTTC is that Mary, Dolly or any of the girls in the shop are willing to give you input to help put a project together. Just last Friday one of the girls at late create was having a problem with her cricut and one of the veteran scrappers and Mary came to the rescue. It was awesome to see everyone come together to help this young lady get her project going on the right track again. Great people to hang out with.
  Hey I need your vote. I am getting some designs together for a class and need your input. How many people would be interested in doing square cards as a class or just regular invitation size cards for a class? Vintage cards • Modern cards • Cute cards • Glitzy Cards? Generic, Birthday or combination?
  Let me know so I can put something together. Hope to see you some Friday coming up. Have a good week!

Country Garden Seeds


  Wow, how the time has flown by. I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted. Graduation, parties and preparing for a party has kept me busy. They all went great. Now I can't wait to get back to creating.
  The designers for Make Time to Create and Dolly recently met to discuss upcoming events and ideals for products from the store. The girls brought some pieces they had been working on and they were really neat. This is one of the cards I designed with the new paper from BoBunny. It wasn't hard to make and the paper and accessories that go with it are so pretty. I love the dollie and who can do without a strip of lace to pretty up a card. This card took about 10 minutes to make and was so easy. Make Time To Create has new products arriving all the time so drop in and take a look. Later this week I will post the other card so check back with me.
