TESC117 Sending Hugs

It's day four of this month's My Favorite Things teasers, and today we are previewing the new Jolinne Just for You set, and our new Framed Greetings set. This set is awesome for so many different reasons. Besides the obvious, being awesome greetings and awesome frames to go around them, Kim has created a new Die-namic to fit the frame perfectly!! TOO FUN!!! I don't have my dies yet, but I can't WAIT to get them!!

For my card today, I used my Jolinne, and my new favorite color combo....it's a sickness I tell ya!! My boyfriend's daughter is CONSTANTLY telling me that I need to use more red heads, so I decided to do just that!! Isn't she so sassy and fun!! My sketch is the Taylored Expressions sketch from two weeks ago.

For the inside, I used some of the yummy Cosmo Cricket DP that inspired my color combo, and I also used the new Framed Greetings set. I just LOVE IT!!

Hey everyone!! Today is my second favorite teaser day for My Favorite Things.... PURE INNOCENCE day!!! I LOVE my PI stamps, and I KNOW you all do, too!! This month there are four new additions to the PI line, of which I chose to use the new Cheerleader.

Isn't she a DOLL!!! She has different things to hold, a few different sayings, as well. I actually decided to use a saying from one of the other new PI sets, Boy & his Dog Football Player. My sketch is one of Mercy's from a few weeks ago. I used my Open Scalloped Die-namics again, as well. I LOVE them!!

For the inside, I couldn't help but use this cute little sentiment, too. It's so FUN!!

MTSC78 Great Minds Drink Alike

Hey everyone!! I wanted to make a quick card this morning...and something went terribly wrong, LOL!! I love the new, A Drink A Day set from There She Goes....but this card isn't speaking to me. Except for the umbrella drink part, LOL!!

I think it may be because I am tired, or the fact that I screwed up and put too many holes at the bottom for brads...but MEH!!! What can you do, right? I am super tired, and going to be late for work, so I guess the only thing I need to say is that I used one of Mercy's sketches from a few weeks ago......yep, that's it!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
