à la modes-I've Met My Match

Hey everyone, and Happy Monday!! Today, we are introducing this month's first new à la modes set, I've Met My Match. I just LOVE this line of stamps, I truly do!! If you aren't familiar with the à la modes line, here are some details:
-the à la modes are drawn by Amanda Baird
-they are now available as clear stamps, so MFT is not able to bring them to you for $9 a set!

For my card tonight, I started by stamping my girl on an X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored her with my Copics, and layered her with some Hot Fudge, Sour Apple, and Snow Cone card stock. My brown ribbon is from SU, and the Maraschino Twine. I also used a Creative Express spiral clip, and some Michael's brads. My DP is from the MME Lime Twist Fly a Kite pack.

FSF24....Where Have I Been...

Last week...well, I must have been half asleep when I posted my card, but I TOTALLY forgot to make it a forgotten stamp Friday post...and I KNOW it was, LOL!! What a dork, right? I kill me...

Let's try it this week and see if we can get it right, ok? LOL!!

Since it is Friday, it is time for Forgotten Stamp Friday. If you aren't familiar with this challenge, it is a personal challenge that I have posed to myself to make me use some of my uninked, unused, and neglected stamps. The only rule is that it has to have been uninked or owned for 6 months. Digi images count, as well...we tend to collect those, and then never use them, too! If you decide to play along, just be sure to enter your name in the Mr. Linky, and when uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword...FSF24.

For my card today, I used the super cute Jolinne-With Sprinkles on Top set from My Favorite Things. I stamped it on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored it with my Copics. I paired it with Hot Fudge, Pink Lemonade, and Sour Apple card stock. My paper is from the MME Lime Twist Life of the Party pack. My ribbon and Cappuccino Twine is from MFT, brads are from Michael's, and my spiral clips are from Creative Express. I used the new First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for my sentiment, and the Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics for my circle. My sketch is this past week's Sweet Sunday sketch...CUTE!!



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and then added a strip of scallops using the Simply Scalloped Large Dienamics.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to see if you play along!

Mojo195- I'd Rather Be Stamping...

I don't know why I NEEDED to use this stamp set all of a sudden, but it is one of my FAVES from There She Goes, and I hadn't used it in AGES...so I just couldn't stop myself!

My image is from the SUPER CUTE Loads of Fun set, from There She Goes. It is a laundry related stamp set, and I know it makes me sick...but I LOVE doing laundry. Something about it all being clean and tidy....love it. I stamped the image on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored it with my Copics. It was then layered with Sno Cone, Sour Apple, and Orange Fizz cardstock. My paper is from the MME Lime Twist Fly a Kite pack. I used Maraschino Twine, Honeydew twine, a mixture of old SU and MFT buttons, and some Michael's brads. My sentiment was cut out with one of the pieces from the MFT First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch, as well.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

MFTWSC24- Friendship...

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! Since it is Wednesday, technically, it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things. I LOVE that we have went to an all sketch format, and I know I say that A LOT, but I really really do!! Enough of all that, on to my card!!

For my card tonight, I used the new Clearly Sentimental about Friendship set. I stamped it on a piece of GP White card stock. I then layered it with Sno Cone, Blu Raspberry, and Rich Razzleberry(SU) card stock. I used the Simply Scalloped Large Die-namics for my scalloped layer, and I used the Dainty Doily Die-namic for my circle panel. The doily was cut out of MME Lime Twist. My ribbon and twine are both from MFT. I also used the Butterflies Die-namics....love it!!



For the inside, I used another saying from the set, and more of the same paper and supplies. I also used the rest of the Butterflies I cut out.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have great day! Head on over to Kim's blog to see a list of the other designers participating today, and to the MFT forum on SCS for more details as well!!
