My Creative Time Throwback Thursday

This should be a quick post. I really wanted to get this posted for Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge. The challenge is a food theme and to use the cartridge From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge. Last Thursday I picked up half of a lamb I ordered. I need to get some recipes for cooking lamb. This is the first time I have every had lamb to cook. When I was little my grandmother made it for me and I loved it. I order lamb chops when I go out to eat if it is on the menu. I am pretty excited about having my own to cook.
Sooooo I decided to make a Lamb Recipe book.

Right now I just have page protectors and tab pages inside. I used my Cinch by We R Memory Keepers to bind it all. The protector sheets are from CTMH. The part that is sticking out is the open part so I can slide in the recipes as I find them. The cover and last page are sealed with the open edge is in the binding.

I used From My Kitchen cartridge for all the cuts. I love the tabs. Now I am off to find Lamb Recipes for my book. If you have one I would love to try it.

Throwback Thursday Challenge with Emma

I am so tired today. Tuesday and Thursday I am in a water aerobic class followed by a water yoga class. I love these two class but today I must have worked out too hard and then got too relaxed because I haven't had any energy left for the rest of the day.
I did have enough energy to get these fun Christmas gift tags made for the Throwback Thursday Challenge.  

 The stuffed animals are from Hallmark. They are so funny. They sing, dance and jingle bells. I laugh every time I turn it on.


Emma's challenge this week is to make a Christmas theme project of your choice using Celebrations cartridge. It is a challenge because that cartridge is more of a birthday cartridge. I love this little gift cut. I used my Gypsy to wield two together to make a gift tag card. The paper is some Christmas paper I had. The kitty and puppy are also on this cartridge. 
Yesterday Emma's new video came in the mail and I sat down and watched it all. I think it influenced me to use the kitty and puppy. That is all I am going to tell you. You will have to get your own copy. It really is a good one.
Here are a couple of close ups of the tags.

I cut the whiskers off and drew in whiskers with a fine tip pen.

The eyes are from a Peachy Keen stamp set.

I used stickles to dress up the ribbon and hats. Gift tags are so much fun to make. 


I hope you enjoyed my creations today.

Throwback Thursday Challenge with Emma and My Pink Stamper

I am so excited I made a card for Throwback Thursday this week. The challenge is :

"****Must be an "ANIMAL" theme project!

****Use "Every Day Paper Dolls" cartridge OR if you do NOT own this cart, feel free to use any older cartridge you have!"

I just love Emma's challenges because she gets me to use my cartridges. Really if it wasn't for her I would have wasted my money and I love using my Gypsy and Cricut and it is always nice to have a push to use them.
Ok here is my card and I love this one. I think it is so stinkin cute.

This image doesn't have a layer so I cut it out twice and cut the mane off of one. I also welded the shape so it is a shape card. Learned that from Emma!
The face is Peachy Keen' Critter Faces medium. I need more of these stamps. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper More Punny-licious. I need more of her stamps too. Robyn's challenge today is to make a card with or for a child. This is a card for a child. The cartridge is Every Day Paper Dolls. That is a great cartridge. I use it a lot. I keep finding new things on it, like this adorable lion. Oh and the main was put through my CB with D'vine Swirl.
Did you see Emma has a new DVD. I ordered it the other night and can't wait until it arrives. Emma had a Ustream the other night and I asked her to make the challenge last until Wednesday about 100 times (sorry Emma) because I didn't know if she saw it but she must have because this challenge goes until next Wednesday. Yea! now if I go away for the weekend I still can play. Thank you Emma, you rock!
There is also a RAK blog hop that she is in. You should read all the wonderful things people do. I wish that was on TV instead of all these political ads. I am so sick of them. It makes you want to not vote. Anyway one reamdom act I like to do is vist with older ladies at the store. They always seem so happy to have someone to talk to and we both walk away with smile on our face. That is the thing about RAK you feel better too.

Have a great Friday and Thanks for stopping,
