My Creative Time DT Thursday! and Winners of B-Day Blog Hop...

Good Morning and Welcome to another of My Creative Time's DT Thursday.  Thanks to all your good wishes I am feeling better today than I did last week and the beginning if this week.  Today's project is featuring the "I Believe In Leprechauns" Stamp Set.  My bestie Jess from KinderstampO showed me how to make this little bag she saw in one of the SplitCoastStampers YouTube Tutorials.  The box is called 2-5-7-8-10 box.  So easy and fun to make using an 81/2 X 11 piece of cardstock.

For the Leaves I used the Build A Blossom Punch from Stampin Up
The brown flower is a Fringed Flower and you can click HERE to see a tutorial on how to make these Fringed Flowers
My Apologies for the blurry Pictures but my battery was low and I couldn't find my battery charger.

"My Vintage Valentine" Blog Hop

For Emma's Stamptastic Blog Hop click HERE

Welcome to My Vintage Valentine hosted by Jess at Kinderstampo...if you arrived from Sandra you are in the right track...if you happened to stop by perhaps you want to start from the beginning at Kinderstampo. (Jess I really hope you get better soon)

Wow what a challenge this Blog Hop was...I have NEVER done anything Vintage...phew...I really hope I nailed it if not please forgive me.  I created this 8X8 LO of my Mother-in-law as a child with her little sister.  My mother-in-law , Christa,  is the young lady on the right...aww I really miss her.  She lost her battle with Cancer on April 2008. She was my partner in crime for shopping...her and I paid many visits to Michael"s and a local craft store that went out of business The Rag Shop.   She bought me my first die cutting machine, the original Sizzix...so much fond memories of this Wonderful woman. I love you Mom!
Well here it is my attempt at Vintage...what do you think?
I used the  K & Co "Life's Journey" Stack, gems from Recollections, Martha Stewart Punch, My Creative Time "My Journaling" Stamp Set.  I made the Roses with 18" strips 3/8" wide quilling paper.  The cage is from the Cricut Serenade Cart, cut at 4".


 I made these Roses with 3/8" width strips of Quilling Paper

Happy Monday Everyone! and Hooray to all those Packers Fans for winning this victory!!!  My husband more than I is a sports fan, unfortunately we were not able to watch the game last night since our three children are all sick and we were caring for all crying and cranky children...the joys of parenthood...:)  Hopefully this week will be a good one.
Today's post is an Invitation to My Birthday Blog Hop, Tuesday February 15th it begins here at 5:30am EST and ends on that same day at 11:30pm EST,  I am also contemplating the possibility of a Live Ustream after the Hop is Over, stay tuned for more details.
Here's today's  project using another one of the fun and wonderful My Creative Time stamps.  This sentiment is from the "Mom You Rock" set.  I also used the K&Co. Black and White paper stack, Recollections Elegance paper, Nestabilities, Recollections Boutique Fleur Mini round gems, a Fringed Flower -(click HERE for a tutorial on Fringed Flowers), and Adhesive ribbon from Marcella K.


and...here's the Invite to celebrate my Birthday ...I hope you all can join in and have fun and be inspired with the Fantastic Line of Blogs for this hop.
