Honey Bee

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. We have been busy at Make Time to Create. The Friday nite late creates are so fun. This was my first card I created with the new paper line HONEY in from My Minds Eye. It is so sweet. This first card was all flowers but this card actually shows the reason why it is called Honey. The bees and honeycomb pattern in the paper and the stickers that go with it are 2 cute. The flowers that draw the bees and the fun graphic elements in the coordinating papers make it bright and easy to create a special card for a honey sweet person. The washi border on the side did not look appealing on the roll but girls when you roll out the tape and apply it really adds to the card. Don't be afraid to try it. This isn't the only new line of paper in the store. Go to the Make Time to Create's blogspot and check out the other lines, and in the store they are twice as pretty. Hurry in they are going fast!

Honey Line

 Wow the new lines of paper Make Time to Create have gotten in are beautiful. This is just one of the lines which is called Honey. It has flowers and bees and wonderful accessories to go with it. They are all on a paper rack together so everything is very easy to find. I love the big flowers and the smaller flowers to go with it. The chipboard pieces that are stickers are so easy to make a quick beautiful card.

Up close you can see they have raised tape behind it which I love for dimension. I added the bling of the gems on the middle of the flowers. Cute. Check back for more to come with this line.

Little Miss

  Love this paper from Bo Bunny. It has it all. This card has just a few of my favorite things. Like birds, bird cages, flowers and pearls. The other sheets of paper with this line have young girls, teapots and of course a puppy dog.  The colors are warm reds, greens, browns and rust. No one will have a problem making a card or scrapbook page from this paper line. Choosing will be the only hard thing to do since Make Time to Create has a whole new line in beside all the great paper they had to start with. Drop by and do the paper dance.

Christmas in July

  Christmas in July was awesome! It's about stamping, scrapping, talking, shopping, eating and being inspired. This event at Make Time To Create was so relaxing and stimulating at the same time. I seen lots of creativity and just plain beauty in the works. Two rooms full of ladies making cards and scrapbook pages.
  The two ladies above are Melody in the blue and Pat in the teal shirt. They are showing the albums they have started to put the pictures in they took when they went out for Melodies birthday, which was July 4th.  They were having a ball scrappin and remembering the party they had in the movie theater and at Cheeseburger in Paradise.
  They are so gifted and I learned a lot from them. I am just starting scrapbooking and they have really encouraged me.

Also along for the birthday ride was Mary in the green and I think Pat in the red was there also. Can you guess what movie they seen by Mary's page? They had some niceeee pictures.

  The other gals at the other table were also having a blast. You can tell they were in the Christmas spirit. They also made some beautiful pages. At the bottom is Anastasia's pages, they are really falltastic and remind be of cooler weather to come.

  Christmas in July was really fun. Drop by Make Time to Create and sign up for the next event or Late Night Create on Friday Night. We always have fun and you will learn something in the process. If you don't you can always shop, which I find hard not to since she has new items in weekly.
See you soon.

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.
