It's Hop Time!!!

Hey everyone and welcome to tonight's new release BLOG HOP!!! Tonight's hop started at Kim's blog, and if you are here now, you should have come from Julie's Blog.

Tonight I'm showing you a card I made with this month's Triple Scoop set - Clearly Sentimental About Gardening, along with Who's That Gardening Girl and Green Thumb. The triple scoop set is one that you can't buy, you earn it for free with the purchase of 3 full sized sets (1 full size set is equal to two $9 sets). It will be available for purchase next month.
In addition to the Triple Scoop Set, you could also earn the Cherry On Top Reward. It's for the most loyal MFT fans. When you purchase 7 full-sized stamp sets ($15.95 or $17.95 price point), on top of earning the Triple Scoop set of the month, you'll also choose ANY set on the site for FREE.

Here is a look at the inside, where I used a sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental about Gardening. LOVE IT!! I also used the Sun Die-namics from last month's release, finally....I'm slow to change, but I finally come around!! I wanted to add an extra layer to it, so my DP stood out, so I punched out a circle using one of my circle punches from SU. I can't wait to get my new Die-namics from this month though, wooohoooo!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! It's off to the next stop on the hop....JOANNE'S BLOG!! Have fun and don't for get to leave all the girl's on the hop some love!! You never know where we are hiding the blog candy!!

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.

For my card today, I used my Jolinne, and my new favorite color combo....it's a sickness I tell ya!!

My sketch is the Taylored Expressions sketch from two weeks ago.

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!!
