MFTWSC10

It is Wednesday, so it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge. I wasn't sure about this sketch, but once I started working on it, I FELL in love!! SO CUTE!!

I started by stamping my image from the new One Sweet Chick Pure Innocence set on an X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored it with my Copics. Instead of ribbon, I added a strip of grass cut out of some old MFT felt using the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namic. My cardstock is Sno Cone, Celery, and Crushed Curry. My DP is from the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird collection. My ribbon is from MFT, as well as my twine. I used the Button Quartet Die-namic for my buttons, both inside and out, and the Dainty Dots Border Die-namic, as well.



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another saying from this new set.

Well, that is it for me for now. Be sure to head off to Kim's Blog to get all the details for this week's challenge, and to see a list of all the designer's participating today.

March Creative Challenge-Die-namics Home Decor

Hey everyone, and welcome to this month's Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things. This month, Joanne has challenged us to make a home decor item using some of our WONDERFUL Die-namics.....I almost died when I saw it. You all know by now, that I don't "do" altered items, so I knew this was going to be hard. In fact, I think I told Joanne(numerous times) that she was trying to kill me, and I MAY have said something about getting an ulcer...so what, I'm a drama queen. Sue me!!! LOL!!

My project DID not kill me, and in fact, I actually kinda like what I made!! I started by getting a frame out of my stash....it's one I found on sale at Kohl's for 80% off...what a deal!! I then covered the back with some Garden Variety paper from Cosmo Cricket. I then added a strip of SU ribbon down the center. My main image is the super cute, Oh Baby à la mode, which I stamped on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored with my Copics. It was layered with Crushed Curry and Red Hot.

My sentiment is from the Clearly Sentimental About Parenting set, which I LOVE. I cut it out using the Polka Dot Frame Die-namics, and then hand cut a Red Hot layer around it. To add some interest to the frame, I used the Heart's a Plenty Die-namic, and Button Quartet Die-namic. I cut SEVERAL different pieces of the Garden Variety paper and the card stock colors mentioned above. I added some twine to the buttons, too.





Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to head to Kim's Blog to see a list of the other designers participating in today's challenge.

Kiss Me SFYTT

I am up in the mountains stamping with my girlies, and I decided to play along with Jen's Sketch For You To Try. I just LOVE her monthly sketches...although, I do miss them being weekly. I can't imagine how much work they are to keep up on, so I don't really blame her for her new format, I'm just happy she still has them!!

I started by stamping my Wishing You Luck à la mode on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored her with my Copics. My DP is from the Basic Grey Origins pack. I paired it with Jelly Bean Green, Banana Split, and Celery. My ribbon is from MFT, and my brads are from Michael's.

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies on the inside, and a sentiment from another à la mode set-It Must Be Love.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Today's hop started at our ring leader, Barbara Anders' blog. If you are here now, you should have come from Danielle Kennedy's blog.

For my card, I used three different sets: two on the outside, one on the inside!! The two I used were Hooga Booga from Stephanie Fizer, and a sentiment from the Who's That Birthday Girl set...I used the Sweet Stack Label Die-namic to cut it out, again...... I paired it with some Sour Apple and Grape Jelly cardstock, and Cosmo Cricket Pixie-licious dp. I also used some MFT ribbon, and some Divine Twine from MFT. The Hooga Booga set is currently in the Bubble Bin...but it was the closest thing to a minion I had...lol.

For the inside, I used a sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental about Birthdays set. I also added a PERSONAL note to Tammy, and I HAD to share. A few days ago, I offered to be Tammy's minion...the offer still stands, Tammy. Anytime you need me, I am always here!! Hope you have a fabulous birthday!!
