Hop! Hop! HOP!!

It's time for this month's My Favorite Things blog hop, and I am SUPER excited!! Tonight's hop started at Kim's Blog, as always, so head there to get started!!! If you are here now, you should have come from Julie's Blog!!

This month, I am actually responsible for showing you TWO different sets....yaaaay me!! The first one is the new Pure Innocence- Cart Full of Friends. It is so FUN!! I stamped my animals separately, and cut them out to add them to my wagon. So FUN!! This set sells for $9, and I can't wait to see what all you creative minds add to your wagon!!

The next set I am responsible for showing you is LAST month's Triple Scoop set, Thanks a Bunch. I paired it with this month's Emma Blowing Kisses....mainly because I hadn't had a chance to play with her, and she is so darn cute!!! I used a thanks sentiment from the Thanks a Bunch set on the outside.

On the inside, I used another sentiment from that set. This set sells for $15.95, and is the PERFECT thank you set, if you ask me!!
Well, that is it for me now!! You've got lots more hopping to do, so you better be on your way!! Have fun, and be sure to show the girl's how much you love their work by leaving a comment along the way!! Next stop- Cindy's Blog!!!

MFTeasers- Today's the Day!!!

Today is the final day of teasers, and we at My Favorite Things are gearing up for our big release tonight!! Trust me, you don't want to miss it!! I am sure the new sets are a hit, and the new Die-namics....YUUUUMMM!!! Today, the team is teasing you with three sets: Who's That Girl Goes Green, Who's That Geek Guy, and Clearly Sentimental about Summer Vacation.

For my card today, I used the new Green Girl set. She was actually this past month's VIP set, so you have probably seen her cute little booty before, but I just LOVE her!!

And yes, if you saw my VIP hop post, the color combo is the same....but hey, I LOVE it!! I also opted NOT to put a sentiment on the front, so that I could use this sentiment on the inside. I LOVE it!!

MFTeasers- Day 5!!!

It's day 5 of this month's My Favorite Things teasers, and today we are showing the two new Jolinne sets: Jolinne in my Garden, and Jolinne All Dressed Up, and Bath Time. Tonight, my first sample was made using the new Jolinne All Dressed Up.

For my card, I decided to use this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch. It was perfect for my image, which is actually pretty good sized. I thought about cutting her out, but decided to try my largest scalloped oval nestie. It has been awhile since I added a main panel without a layer, so it felt quite strange to me.

For my next project, I used the Bath Time set. I paper pieced the rug and wallpaper, then cut it out by hand and layered it on my ovals. I added it to my "tag", which I used my scalloped circle, and 1 3/8ths circle punches to make the hole.

I used the same paper pack(Basic Grey Lemonade), to decorate the outside of my tin. I also added a TON of ribbon to the handle, then filled the tin with some Avon Cucumber Melon bath goodies. I was not at home to take these pictures, so I may try to take new ones later....didn't have the STUFF to take a full picture!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by!! Be sure to head to Kim's Blog to see who all has teasers for you for today!!

I don't usually use these colors, and never together, but I got a Cosmo Cricket paper pack on clearance for $4 at Michael's when I was down stamping with Mercy, Jess, and Pam. It was the Ever After and Girl Friday paper packs combined. I knew the colors from Ever After would work PERFECT with the new Domestic Goddess, and A Woman's Place sets.
Ever since I got this set, I have been DYING to use this sentiment. It just SCREAMS Mommy Dearest to me. I chose to color a lot of the kitchen gray, so it would be kind of cold and plain...makes the sentiment that much funnier if you ask me!! I also used Taylor's Sketch from this weekend, awesome as always!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope to see you all playing along!!

MFTeasers- Pure Innocence Monday!!

Judging by how many Pure Innocence cards I see out there, I'm thinking that you all are LOVING this new line from My Favorite Things just as much as I am!! This month, there are three new Pure Innocence Images being released, and I have two of them to show you today!!

For my first card, I used the soon to be released, Lollipop Girl. I just love how darn cute these little girls are!! I used it with this week's Sketch For You To Try. Can you see my Ric Rac behind the image(it's also on the inside)? It was made using the soon to be released Die-namic Ric Rac die. I also used some brown felt from the My Favorite Felt Banana Split collection from MFT.

For the inside, I used more of my SU DP, another piece of felt cut out using my Ric Rac Die-namic, and I also stamped my girl separately, cut her out, and added her on.

For my last card, I used last week's Sketch For You To Try along with the new Mud Buddies set. Isn't she precious?? I LOVED this color combo on my Fred Bear card, so I had to use it again!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Be sure to head to Kim's Blog to see what other DT members are showing teasers today!!

MFTeasers- Fred Bear & the Butterfly

Do you ever make something, and you just can't get over how cute it is?? Well, that rarely, if ever, happens to me...but I am LOVING this card!! I THINK it may have something to do with the fact that it features my new FAVE character from My Favorite Things, Fred Bear. Today's teasers are of the new Emma Blows Kisses, Wyatt Says WOW, and Fred Bear & the Butterfly.
Since I love Fred SOOOOO MUCH, I decided to use him, but never fear, Emma and Wyatt will make it on my blog VERY soon!!

I think, and it's just a guess, but I am loving this card wholly based on the cuteness of my image, which I added the butterflies too, and my color choices. The main image is just of Fred holding his flower. The set comes with two butterflies, as well as two sentiments. I added the butterflies to his nose, and the flower. I LOVE it.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head to Kim's blog for the full list of people showing teasers today. I love my MFT sisters, and I am SURE they are all going to have something FABULOUS for you!! Have a great day, and a safe weekend!! See you here tomorrow, same time/same place!!

MFTeaser- What a Day and Baby Makes Three

Hey everyone!! I finally got a chance to make a sample using the new Die-namics Ric Rac die being released by My Favorite Things on Wednesday, June 2. Yaaaaayyyy!! I paired it with one of today's teaser sets, What a Day. Love it.

I used my new Ric Rac die along with some YUMMY Rockabilly DP to make my green striped border, LOVE IT!! My sentiment, from the What a Day set, was stamped and then cut out with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties.

For my next card, I used one of the other teaser sets for today, Baby Makes Three. Isn't it the CUTEST!! This set has the cutest little image, and a few sentiments to go along with it...including one to make birth announcements...NICE!!

Here is a look at the inside....simple, but I like it!!

New Die-Namics!!!

Hey everyone!! Sorry not to have a sample for today yet, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to let you know that My Favorite Things is releasing not one, but THREE new Die-namics dies this month!!
The first one is a new element die. It is a two part sun die, YAAAAYYY!! I can't wait to get mine and start playing!!

The next, is our new Ric Rac die. It can be used with paper, or any other material you want to create your own faux ribbon!! SUPER COOL!!

This next one is our Ribbon RE:Creations Grosgrain Texture Board that can be used with the Ric Rac die. It will give your paper, fabric, whatever just a slight bit of texture to give it the look and feel of grosgrain. How sweet is THAT!!

And last, but not least, we have a GRASS die!!! WAHOOO!! I am LOVING this one, as I am SURE you will be too!!

The girl's are showing peeks with these awesome new dies today, so be sure to head to Kim's blog to see who is peeking!! The dies you have seen and heard about here will be released on June 2nd!! To see samples using these dies, and the previously released dies, check out the SCS gallery!!

There She Goes-Dadisms

Hey everyone and welcome to day three of this month's There She Goes release sneakie peekies!!! Today's set is called Dadisms, and is FABULOUS!! Here are some details taken from the There She Goes Blog!!

You know that I couldn’t have a Domestic Goddess set without having a fun dad set to accompany it! This humorous set is perfect for making Father’s Day Cards that will make your dad smile. Dads have their own way of teaching their kids lessons on life and I’m sure that many of you have some fond memories of the quirky things your dad would say in certain situations. This stamp set not only includes images to create your own dad and living room scene, but there is also a background stamp that includes all of those great Dadisms that we grew up with! The images in this set were also designed to coordinate with your Domestic Goddess set for even more versatility!!
Dadisms is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 31 stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the Dadisms stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Dadisms Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Dadisms stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (May 29th) during the Release Party Chat

The first stop on our hop is the fabulous Danielle! From there, you should have come here from our fearless leader, Jessica's blog.

For my card, I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch. Gotta love a good sketch challenge, right?!
I can't wait to see what the other girl's have done with this set, and I bet you can't either...and I KNOW you KNOW there are going to be some AWESOME sentiments along the way!! So, enough dawdling here!! Off to my pal, Jodi's!! Have fun!!

There She Goes- By The Sea

Hey everyone, and welcome to day two of the There She Goes new release blog hop challenges!! Today's set is called By the Sea!! Here are the details from the There She Goes Blog!!

This beautiful ocean/beach themed set was illustrated by talented Chris Dark. The ocean is one of my very favorite places to be. There is just something so amazingly calming about it that instantly puts me at peace. I’ve had the idea for a beach set for awhile and when I met Chris, I knew that her illustration style would be perfect for it! I sketched up a rough draft of my ideas and emailed them to her. When I received her illustrations a short time later I was absolutely blown away! The way she brought this set to life is just amazing. The detail in her images make you feel as if you are right there at the beach enjoying the calming waves and the salty sea air :)

By The Sea is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the By The Sea stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their By The Sea Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own By The Sea stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (May 29th) during the Release Party Chat.

Today's hop started at the AMAZING illustrator of this set's blog, Chris Dark. If you are here now, you should have come from Jessica's Blog!!

There are so many wonderful stamps in this set, but I was feeling very simple and serene when I decided to stamp, and this is what happened. I hate missing people, especially when I have no clue why I have to miss them...if you catch my drift. Anyway, there isn't much to this card, and I don't really have any secrets to share, so I am just going to say THANK YOU for stopping by, and send you on your way to the next blog!! Off to Jodi's, where I am sure her card will make you say WOW!!
