"Made in Minutes" with My Creative Time

Happy Monday and Happy Cinco de Mayo Crafty Friends!

Did you have a good weekend?  We had a great weekend with an overnight trip out of town to visit my college kid.  I'll share more at the end of my post.
 
Today I am excited to share that I am a Guest Designer over at My Creative Time for their "Made in Minutes" segment.  The idea is to create a card/project in 20 minutes or less.  This is made easier to do with Emma's fabulous stamps and dies.  I love my cutting machines, but I also love my dies!  I don't have a lot of space so I find that sometimes it is easier to get out my dies when I am creating.
 
I made a gift card holder to share with you.
 

 
Details:
My Creative Time dies and stamps -
"Embossed Gift Card Holder" die
"Puffy Hearts Just for You" stamp set
"So Grateful for You" stamp set
"Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO" dies
Papers are by Stampin Up - "Baked Brown Sugar" and "Coastal Caribbean"
Peachy Keen PK-1385 "Cartoon Bombshell" Face Assortment
The Twinery "Caribbean" twine
sequins
 
I love this gift card die!  It has been my go-to when I need to make gift card holders.
 
 
Now I'd love to share with you about my weekend.
(Sorry about the blurry/fuzzy pics.  It was sunny and bright out and I took these with my phone.)
This picture just about sums it up!  We had a great day at the track watching my oldest daughter compete for her University in their conference finals.  She made the podium in all 3 of her events, and came in first in 2 of them!  Her relay team is Nationally ranked and is heading to Nationals in 2 weeks.  And she set some new personal records too.  I am a super proud mom and it still makes me smile when I think about it.  She is only a Freshman so there are more great moments like this to come. 
 
Congrats to her and her University of La Verne team mates!!!
 
 
Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!
