Happy Birthday with Bulid a Chevron

I'm loving this set from MCT Build A Chevy Background Stamp Set!

I just made this simple Happy Birthday card with the set.  

I'm so glad to start working on getting some new cards in my box for one I need one.

Have a great day!!

Project Life Layouts

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!  

We are we had a slight change of plans so I have been crafting instead. I made these Project Life  Layouts last weekend but took me awhile to get a good picture of them. I still need some practice but these picture turned out pretty good.  

I bought the pages last summer a few weeks before my daughter broke her leg and then well I never got to them.  Then back before Christmas I made one layout but got busy and didn't pick it back up.  Since the kids birthday was in May I decide that there new scrapbook for this year would be the Project  Life.  I'm happy with the way my daughter book is going so far.  I'm working on my son's this weekend.  So more picture to come later.  

Here are a few of the layouts!!

The paper I used was that I got along time ago from TLC and then for the embellishments and journal tags I used my dies and stamps from My Creative Time!   I just love how MCT time dies and stamps work so well for Project  Life Layouts. 

   This layout I used my stamps from Marks Finest Papers..

 Hope you enjoyed my layouts and I will have more to come!!

Sending you a pocket full of birthday wishes!

Hope everyone is having a good 4th of July!

I wanted to share a card that I made today with you.  I saw this challenge over at the Operation Write Home Blog and decide to give it a try.  This challenge was over at A2Z Scrapbooking  it was for paper piecing a kids card.  I have been wanting to use this stamp set I got a few weeks ago.  I thought it would be perfect for a little girl birthday card.  

This stamp set I used is  My Creative Time Fun Pockets Set.  

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a safe 4th of July!!

I am truly sorry for your loss!

Wow it was hot here today!! 

 I wanted to craft so bad but it was too hot to turn lights on so I made my cute little card in the dark.  A few weeks ago my friend's daughter had to have their doggie put to sleep. 

  I just love how MCT Loyal Friends and Live Love Bark sets worked great for my cute little card.  I used the MCT 4x6 Stitched die for the card base and just folded in in half.  

I will be entering my card in the MCT Designer Challenge Patriotic Theme.

Here is the sketch and colors for the challenge.

The last of the gifts I made for end of year gifts

Here are the last of the end of year gifts the kids and I pasted out at school last week. 

My friend helped me make these cute little Hand Sanitizer and Soap Jars.  I just love them!  

Then I added a cute little tag from MCT Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set around the jars with some raffia.  I added Hello Kitty to one of them.  Our one secretary at school is crazy about Hello Kitty!!  

This giant clothes pin goes along with the Hello Kitty hand sanitizer. 

Next is 2 mugs that I made for the custodians.  One is a Seahawks fan and the other is a Miami Dolphins fan. I found the a picture online and traced it on the Silhouette and then etched them on the mugs.  

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Father's Day Gift

 I just got a chance to post my Father's Day card for my husband.  I have been waiting for a long time to get this coffee die and stamp set from My Creative Time.  I knew it would make a great card for him.  I love how the Kraft and green look together.  I will be enter this card in the Designer Challenge at MCT for Masculine Theme.

This is the sign that I made for my Dad for Father's Day.  I love how it turned out and he was so happy to get it too.  

End of the Year Staff Gifts

I'm back with a few more gifts I made for some of the staff members at my kids school.

This year our Secretary and Learning Specialist are both retiring.  They both are very special to us all.  So I wanted to make them something extra special.  

The first gift I'm going to share with you is for our secretary. 

 I made a sign like this last year for the kids to give to Grandma and PawPaw.  She loved that one so why not a sign to put her Grand babies pictures on. 

The next gift is for our Learning Specialist.  They will be spending their retirement camping!  I found a cut file on the Silhouette store for a camper card that looks like the camper they just bought.  So instead of making it into a card I just made the camper and added it to my sign.  

Have a great day!

Cards from this week

I had some time this week to make lots of cards.  I post a couple cards earlier today that I made for a friend but wanted to post the rest of them.  She is making cards pack for her FRG's Make it, Bake it, or Fake it Auction.  So I wanted to be sure to help her out.  Here are the rest of the cards I made for it.

These cards were all made using stamps and dies from My Creative time!

The next 2 cards I made was from a Unity Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Live Each Day

I'm so happy how my cards turned out with the Unity Live Each Day sentiment stamp. 

My friend's FRG is having a Make It, Bake It, or Fake It Auction next week and

 I wanted to help her out. 

The star embossing folder and the MCT Stitched Star Dies were great to go along with this card.

You are 100% Awesome!

I did alot of crafting over the weekend!!  I'm so excited to share my projects with you but I will have to wait a few weeks to do it.  Since most of them are gifts for my kids teachers and staff members at school end of the year gifts.  My plan is to get the post ready so the moment they have been given out I can hit publish for you all to see.  

I do have a card that I made this weekend to share with you.  I made it to enter in a Challenge over at My Creative Time for Designer Challenge Color Palette.

 I used for my card MCT Stitched Mini Frame Arrow Dies, MCT Stitched Heart Layering Dies, and MCT It's All About You Stamp Set

Guest Designer for My Creative Time

 Hello My Crafty Friends! 
This is a very exciting day that I have been waiting for all year!!  Today I'm a Guest Designer for 
My Creative Time!  I love using MCT Stamps and Dies!!  A friend introduced me to the stamps a couple of years ago and then my collection started from there. 

I made a couple of little projects for today to using Bulid A Pretty Flower.
I also used a few other stamp sets and dies and will list them under the pictures.

This is a little K cup holder that I decorated for a little gift to a friend.
I cut out a MCT Stitched Doily Die and a tag from MCT Tag Die and stamped all the pretty flowers from  Bulid A Pretty Flower.   Then added a little tag from MCT Teeny Tag Layering Dies and stamp it with a It's Your Day from MCT Teeny Tag Holidays.  I'm so happy with the way it turned out and love the colors together too!

I decided well everyone loves chocolate too!  I think one of my favorite dies from MCT Treat Slider Box Die!!  I cut out the treat box and the treat wrappers on kraft cardstock.  Then used Bulid A Pretty Flower on the treat box and wrappers.  Last I added a little MCT Teeny Tag Layering Dies  and stamp it with Sweet Friend from Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed my projects from today.

 I also wanted to thank Miss Emma for the opportunity to be a Guest Designer!
Thanks!
Hope Everyone has a nice holiday weekend too!

Hello Crafty Friends

Hello to all my Crafty Friends!!

It's been awhile since I have posted but I have been crafting here and there.  It just has been very busy around my house between work, finishing up the yearbook for the kids school, and taking the kids to all their busy activities. 

I thought since it's been awhile since I posted anything that I would post a few random things I made over the last few months.  

My friend's birthday was back in February and she is a Big Seahawk fan.   So I saw this online and had to make it for her.

I made this baby afghan for a baby gift for my husband's supervision.  They just had a little girl!!

I love how soft this yarn was I used for the afghan!

 I made this cute TGIF sign for the kids to send to Grandma for Mother's Day! 


A few weeks ago the kids had a Home Swim Meet so us parents organized some raffle basket for the concession stand we had.  I was in charge of fixing the baskets!  I made some cute little tags for each basket.   One of the baskets was a homemade basket so I put some cards in it that I had made along with the TGIF sign too.  I had so much fun making the baskets up!!

Ok I hope now that school year is winding down and summer is on the way that I will have more time to craft and get things posted.

MCT Sketch Challenge

I'm so excited that I got a page done in the kids albums this weekend.  My goal is to start working more in their albums.  So when I saw the challenge over at My Creative Time for a sketch challenge I was ready to start on my layout.  I pulled out the pictures I had printed off and found ones of us getting ready for the fireworks to start.  They were perfect for this layout!

Here is the sketch for the challenge

Here is my 12x12 that I created from sketch!

I'm so happy the way it turned out!

My New Facebook Page

This is my last post for the night but I had 2 things that I wanted to share with you before I headed off to bed.  The first is that I have created a Facebook Page to for my Blog.  Be sure to head over and like it at https://www.facebook.com/AngelaCraftySpot like my page.

The next item I wanted to share is gift that I made for the kids to give to Grandma and PawPaw on their trip out to visit  us over Thanksgiving.  I wanted to do something to include all of the Grandkids and since we are so far away a group picture was out of the question.  So I got everyone to send me pictures of all the the kids and I sized them to fit into
My Creative Time Just Simply Live Stamp Set Die. 

I used the MCT Rosette Die, Flower Petal Die, lower case lowercase fun dies, and Stitched button dies also on the sign.  I was so happy that I finally found a crackle paint to look the way I wanted it too.  I have tried 2 other ones so the 3rd time was a charm :)

 I love love this project and so happy that I made it!!

DLART Thankful Thursday 

Wishing you a Hearfelt Holiday!

This is one of my favorite Christmas cards that I made last year!  I love this paper pack that I picked up at Michael's to use for this card and my Merry Christmas banner I posted before Christmas.  I wanted to get creative with my card and not just put the gift card inside the card.  So I got to thinking about what I was going to do.  Then it popped into my head to use the MCT Tag Dies and use the Stampin' Up Word Punch to make a slit in the tag for the gift card to slide in and out.  Then I used the MCT Warm Holiday Fun, Mixed Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set and Stitched Square Speech Dies and the cute little Santa jacket from All Around Accessories Stamp Set.  

Project Life Layout

One of the projects that I had planned on trying over the summer was to start doing some Project Life layouts for my kids albums.  I bought the pages the week before my daughter broke her leg and well lets after the break this Mommy didn't have much time for herself this summer.  I printed off our pictures to the Pumpkin Patch which is always a fun day.  We love going to Hunter's Farm!!  My little man calls it his farm since his name is Hunter.  

I used MCT Piles of Smiles along with 3x4 and 4x6 Stitched Journal Die and Journal It Stamp Set!

It was so much fun creating this layout!!  Now to print off our Pumpkin carving and Halloween pictures to get some more layouts created.  I have to say it was so quick and easy!

Rosette Wreath

I'm very excited to show the project that I made tonight!  I have had this idea for awhile and wanted to do it for Christmas and well life just got to busy.  So tonight I decided that I was just going to do it.  Faith was watching YouTube on how to make things on her Fun Loom and Hunter and Daddy was watching movies.  

I used my Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies from My Creative Time  to make all of my Rosettes and then I also used the Build a Banner and the Small and Medium Bow Dies from MCT too.  I just love how cute it turned out!!  Now I'm wishing that I would have had a Christmas one well maybe next year.  

Hope you enjoyed my Valentine's Day Wreath!!

Chrismtas Gifts

The last few weeks I have been very busy making and finishing up my Christmas gifts.  I have a few more to make but I wanted to share a few of the ones that I have finished up.  

The first one that I made was this super cute little calendars!  I used the all MCT Dies to create it!!  

The golf one is for my Daughter teacher.  I thought the bows and flowers was a little to much for her male teacher :)  He loves golf so I picked up some cute stickers at Micheal's the other day.

The next gift I made was for the office staff, library and the rest of my son's teacher he has for his extra classes.  I just love the Treat Slider box from MCT.  Plus who doesn't need a little chocolate at the end of the day.   This is just a few of them I made.  I think that I made over 20 or them.  I can fold them in my sleep now.

I reused my pineapple cans we had from Thanksgiving and put brownie pops in the cans.  I then took the new MCT border dies to the edges of my paper around the cans and made some cute little tags.

The last gift I have to show today is the cute little frame.  I did get a chance to put a picture in but it is just cute!!  I made this for our Cook at school and good friend for her husband.  He plays Santa at our school Breakfast with Santa each year.  

I hope you enjoyed all my gifts!

In case that I don't get any post made again before Christmas I hope you all have a great one and a Happy New Year!!
