Happiness Always

 The title certainly describes the Graphic 45 tablet, A Ladies Diary. I love, love, love all the paper in this pad. It is so versatile. You can make masculine cards and very ladylike cards. It reminds me of a total different era, but in a warm way. They had such style and in turn your cards are stylish when you use any of this paper. I also put a strip of the paper on the flap of the envelope, as you can see above, to coordinate with the card.  I have several more cards to show you in the next few days so come back and see them. I hope this inspires you to drop by Make Time To Create and pick up a few sheets of this paper and make a fabulous card.

Graphic 45

  Today's card is for a man. I always seem to leave them out in my card making time because I don't send as many of them. But, I recently purchased a pad of paper - Graphic 45 - A Ladies Diary, and it has some nostalgic paper in it of a time of style and dapper gentlemen. It was a peek into the past and what they wore and how they carried themselves. I couldn't wait to make the card above. It was nice to be able to have some paper that made it easy to create a masculine card. Our men are special and need to be encouraged. Who doesn't? I have been with my husband since I was 17 and we have had some extreme ups and downsssss. But we have made it through them. So ladies encourage your man and pray for the changes needed instead of pointing them out. Try a month of encouragement whether you receive anything or not. The first thing to do......Give him a card made from Graphic 45 and look for what you loved in him in the beginning.

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.
