Scrapping The Little Things

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Scrapping the little things!"  First off, I hope you ALL had a FABULOUS weekend!  Mine was full of baseball! ;) 

For our pages today, we all followed this sketch shown here! 

I decided to do another page in my smash book & I am REALLY glad I did! I just LOVE my smash book because you can basically do WHATEVER YOU WANT!! :) I followed the sketch & made my page based on our last San Francisco Giants game! YEP, it TRULY was the BEST GAME EVER! :) I know my team was in a slump, but OH BOY, are we making HISTORY! This game we went to was EXTRA SPECIAL because for the first time in history, a starting pitcher AND a starting catcher BOTH hit GRAND SLAMS in ONE GAME!!! HOW EXCITING is that??? I was HAPPY that my boys were able to see that in person! The OTHER special reason why we went is because my son's FAVORITE player is "Angel Pagan" & they were giving away an "Angel Pagan Bobblehead" to the first thousands of fans! The unfortunate thing is that we were not able to see him play because he is still injured :(  But I think it's SAFE TO SAY that the 2 grand slams we witnessed took Anthony's mind off of his favorite player not being there! 

I thought I would scrap my FAVORITE picture I took that day! YEP, these are my 3 EXTRA SPECIAL men in my life who mean the WORLD to me! We were tailgating in the parking lot before the game! There's is nothing better than barbecue hot doggies before a game! ;) 

This is what the field looked like on this BEAUTIFUL day! ;)

Hello my Creative Friends! Welcome to another "Friday's Tip of the Day!" For today's tip, I decided to show you how I did that ribbon technique I did on this card a couple of weeks ago!

I also put on the cute little paperclip from Stampin up! I used another one of my FAVORITE Peachy sets called "Laffy Taffy"! The sentiment is from my stamp set called "This & That"!

Back of my Gift Card Holder!

Design Team Thursday! ~ Episode 198

Good Morning & welcome to another "My Creative Time's Design Team Thursday"! WOW!!! Today you are in for a HUGE treat my friends! I had challenged my design team to use my stamp set "Race For a Cure" in any way they choose!  They didn't necessarily have to use it as a "Breast Cancer" project, only if they wanted to! I just wanted to show you how "Versatile" this set can be! With that said, I will let my design team's projects speak for themselves!;)

For my card today, I used a few cartridges! I used "Just Because", "Nursery Rhymes", "George & Basic Shapes" & "B is for Boy" cartridges! The red pattern paper is from DCWV paper stack called "Immortal Love"!!! MY FAVORITE STACK EVER!!! The rest of the cardstock, ribbon & button are from Papertrey Ink. The sentiments "With hope, anything is possible" is from "Race For a Cure" stamp set! If you purchase this stamp set, you are teaming up w/My Creative Time to help "Stamp Out" breast cancer! For each set that is purchased, My Creative Time will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

For the inside of my card, the sentiment is from "This & That" stamp set! I just LOVE this set.... it has a variety of stamps that you will love!;)

In my video I show you how I designed this card in my "Gypsy Girl"!

Now on to my FABULOUS design team! First up is the talented Miss Glora! Miss Glora is a Disney fanatic & she made the most AWESOME Tinkerbell layout using this stamp set!!! I just LOVE those colors together & I think this layout is just PERFECT in EVERY way!

Now onto the talented Miss Kate! OMG!!! as soon as I saw this card, I immediately took the longest bubble bath w/epson salt!! LOL......(for my injuries) hehehehe! and YES, I did have a glass of wine as well!! This card that Miss Kate made is just too perfect & who wouldn't want to take a nice bubble bath after receiving a card like this!;) Not only did she use "Race for a Cure" set, but she also used  "This & That" stamp set as well1 

Now onto another talented lady, Miss Shar! All I have to say is "WOW"! When I first saw this card, I just thought how "Beautiful" it was! Everything from the embossing down to those gorgeous flowers that she does an AWESOME job at creating herself!

Now onto the Talented lovely Miss Jen! I just LOVE the bright & cheery colors she used for her project today! It came out "BEAUTIFUL"!!! I just LOVE EVERYTHING about it & all the details couldn't be more PERFECT!;)

Last, but certainly NOT least! This is the Talented Miss Leanne! Miss Leanne certainly NEVER disappoints! This card is just as PERFECT as can be! "Today Matters" is my favorite sentiment in this set! She did a BEAUTIFUL job w/her card "Like ALWAYS"!;)
