Since my husband passed away in early December, I've had to step back and re-evaluate my priorities. I also am having more stiffness in my hands and when I spend long hours in the studio I deal with pain for several days. This does not mean I am giving up on my card making, just taking a little detour. Thank you for your kind thoughts and comments you have shared with me. I treasure each and everyone!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Our sale starts NOW!</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="x1vuxp1f" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;

So much has happened since my last post on Black Friday.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My husband, Bruce of 34 years passed away on December 2. He had been in declining health since early spring of 2023 after a horrible fall off his electric scooter. He hit his head on the street and that was the beginning of the decline. He developed shingles 3 days after the fall and from then on, it seemed like one thing after the other. He passed peacefully, without pain and I was blessed to be at his side. The holidays were challenging and I didn't feel much like crafting so the break from My Creative Time was good. I think I made gift tags one afternoon but other than that, I was not in my studio. Bruce and I spent many days together (he in his office and me in the studio) for the past 10 years since we downsized into our condo. Today was the first I spent any amount of time there to create this cute Valentine project with My Creative Time products.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaX5TeZSA5_appO1PXc8CVNnDqL9jnU5ooPsxCyDxCA2dWWBZOlKJ3AFz6NF9lDgIYYPxwK5rZRgnQYmwN-XXqjveoOoL-ps8aaU0a8SyHuvbtBQZjMSheMTAQrRrnUylBiQAZ9mxs3E8cIoJL7582jrHQ1LPhDn_qAA5lyYnig0w8e-Du8VEkj8yuntqx/s1625/Valentine2024.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1625" data-original-width="1436" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaX5TeZSA5_appO1PXc8CVNnDqL9jnU5ooPsxCyDxCA2dWWBZOlKJ3AFz6NF9lDgIYYPxwK5rZRgnQYmwN-XXqjveoOoL-ps8aaU0a8SyHuvbtBQZjMSheMTAQrRrnUylBiQAZ9mxs3E8cIoJL7582jrHQ1LPhDn_qAA5lyYnig0w8e-Du8VEkj8yuntqx/w379-h429/Valentine2024.png" width="379" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm used to making treat for Bruce, but this time I made these adorable little treat bags for my three local grandchildren. They are grown now but they always like the treats.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First off, aren't these adorable chocolates cute???? I got them at Aldi. If you have an Aldi where you live, I hope you love it as much as I do. These chocolates are comparable to what Trader Joes would offer at a very affordable price.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose a gusseted bag so I could get in more goodies. You can find these at most Walmart, Target or your craft stores that sell Wilton items. This is the 3 inch bag so it fits perfectly using the <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/pretty-treat-topper-revised" target="_blank">Pretty Treat Topper</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This die is scheduled for retirement so run to <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe" target="_blank">Emma's</a> site to shop!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">DID YOU KNOW THAT I TRY AND LINK ALL PRODUCTS THAT I USE? JUST CLICK THE NAME (IT SHOULD BE IN BLUE) AND IT WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THE PAGE!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Now back to my project!</b> <u>To make the bag sturdier</u>, I cut a paper base to fit and scored it so now my bag would "sit up" straight. It's so easy to do. Measure the width of your bag - mine was 3 inches. The I measured the bottom of my bag and added 2 inches. After cutting I scored one inch on each side of the LONGER side. Fold on the score lines and it will fit perfectly at the bottom of your bag. I added some white shreds (I never throw them out when I get them) and began to add the treats. I folded down the top and stapled the <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/pretty-treat-topper-revised" target="_blank">Pretty Treat Topper</a> in place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Emma's Valentine Paper Pad from last year was the perfect compliment to my project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/fun-valentine-6x6-paper-pad" target="_blank">Fun Valentine Paper Pad</a> had everything else I needed to finish. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/love-you-most" target="_blank">Love you Most</a> (will be back in stock soon) stamp</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and die set coordinates with the paper pad for a quick and easy way to finish your project. Take advantage of those pages where all you have to do is cut out the image like I did for the Gingers. So cute and easy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut out the hearts using the larger heart from <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/pretty-scallop-rosette-dies" target="_blank">Pretty Scallop Rosette Die Set</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you do not have the <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/pretty-treat-topper-revised" target="_blank">Pretty Treat Topper</a> in your collection, you will not be sorry if you order! It is 50% off right now and a steal.

My husband who turns 91 today, had two falls in mid May and consequently landed in the hospital to recuperate as he also had a horrible case of the shingles. He spent several days in the hospital and then a rehab facility and is now home with me who is his primary caregiver. I'm a nurse and should be able to handle this, but it's been a challenge and I needed to lighten my load of responsibilities which included my time on Emma's Design Team. I emailed Emma and shared that I felt I was ready to return to my projects and she has graciously welcomed me back. I'm so excited to share a couple of projects for this Blog Hop!</p><p style="text-align: center;">One of the reason I chose MCT products years ago when Emma started her business, was that they all seemed to work together seamlessly. I never felt that if I ordered a release that I wouldn't be able to go back to my existing products and use them as well to create. Today you will see me reach back in time and show you the <b><u>versatility</u></b> of MCT products!</p><p style="text-align: center;">While I was away Emma switched to the 6 x 8.5 paper pads! I LOVE THEM!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Die cutting is so much easier!</p><p style="text-align: center;">So here is where I go back and use some of past MCT products with today's release.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Let't talk <a href="https://my-creative-time.com/shoppe/ols/products/etched-edge-z-card-die" target="_blank">Etched Edge Z Card</a>! Isn't this lovely??? The new December 25th Die fits perfectly on the front of this card.
