TSG178-Snow-one Else Like You

It is time for this week's There She Goes challenge!!!
  ***We were GOING to have a release this week, but due to manufacturer issues, this release will not take place until November, sorry for the inconvenience!!***



As always, this week's challenge is a sketch(we always have them the Monday of release week, don't ya know!), and I have paired it with the sets I mentioned above. I cut my image out with my Circle Stax Die-namics, and then colored it with Copics. My layered circle is the Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics from MFT cut out of Wild Cherry cardstock. My other cardstock colors are Jellybean Green, Berrylicious, and Sweet Tooth...all also from MFT. I created my background using the Fishtail Flags Layers Stax Die-namics and some MME Be Merry paper. To finish, I used some Wild Cherry Grosgrain, Michael's brads, and some hemp cord. My die cut is from the Warmest Wishes Dies from There She Goes.

Well, that is it for me for now. For more details on the challenge, check out the There She Goes blog for more info!! Have a great day!

For my card tonight, I used the Holly Hip Hop stamp set. She is my FAVORITE dancer out of this month's release...and I think you'll love her, too. I paired her with the one of the Echo Park For the Record 2 paper pads. I cut some of it out with my Oval Stax Die-namics, and then layered it with Gumdrop Green and Black Licorice cardstock. I forgot it was a sketch this week, so I changed it a bit to add my main image. I layered Holly with Wild Cherry cardstock, after she was colored with my Copics. To embellish, I used Black Licorice, Wild Cherry, and Gumdrop Green buttons which I tied Charcoal Twine through. I used Wild Cherry Grosgrain, and Michael's brads, as well.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to hop on by the Krafty Girls blogs to see what they created, and we hope to see you playing in our challenge!

MFTWSC94 Sweet Friend of Mine

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! That means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things! It's MY favorite sketch challenge!



For my card tonight, I used the super cute Pure Innocence Calendula. It's the PI Flower of the Month girl for October, so I wanted to show her off while it was still October! I paired her with some MME Tangerine paper, and my cardstock colors are Tangy Orange, Fossil, Sweet Tooth, and Aqua Mist(PTI). I used Sno Cone, Tangy Orange, and Kraft buttons for my card, along with some hemp cord. My image was cut out with my Circle Stax Die-namics, and then layered with the Dizzy Doily Duo Die-namics in Fossil. The sentiment I used was stamped on one of the layers from the Sweet Stack Label Die-namics, and I used Michael's brads on each end of it, as well as other places on the card. For my background, I used more of the Tangerine paper, and used the Fishtail Flags Layers Stax Die-namics, and the Designer Labels 3 Stax Die-namics.


Here are the Die-namics I have used:

That's right everyone, we have made it through teasers, and now, all the new sets are available in the My Favorite Things Store!!!! Before you go shop, be sure to hop around to all the designers and leave them some love! You never know who has the candy!!

For my card tonight, I used the fun new Clearly Sentimental about Coffee set. I LOVE this set, and I LOVE all the sayings in it so much...it's perfect for the coffee lover in your life. :)




I stamped my sentiment on Sweet Tooth cardstock, and then cut it out with the Oval Stax Die-namics. I then layered it with the Oval Decorative Doily Die-namics which was cut out of the new Nightshift Blue cardstock from MFT. I used Nightshift Blue, Lemon Drop, and Sno Cone buttons from MFT, and some Hemp cord as embellishments. My ribbon is Nightshift Blue, and I also used some Michael's brads. To finish my card, I used the new Beautiful Bows Die-namics. 

Here are the Die-namics I have used:





The Cherry on Top is earned when you spend $150 before shipping and tax, earning you $15 off your order. Once that amount is hit, the coupon code will pop up on your screen, which you can write down and then apply to your order in your shopping cart. If you remove things from your cart, making it fall below $150, the coupon code will be removed automatically.
