Today the MFT DT and I are showcasing the Inspired by Flowers (set 3). B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L is all I can say! I was told by some very helpful people (thanks, Barb and Jody!) that this is a poppy. I don't know if they come in this color, but these are the colors I thought of when I first saw it. Ain't it gorgeous?! Nothing but fabulousness can be made with these bad boys! Oh, and that cool postage die framing the flower??? Yep, it's a new dienamic! Yeehaw!!! And I just love this big, bold sentiment that's included in the set. The sentiment is cut out with, you guessed it, the file tab dienamic. The kraft panel behind the main was embossed, not sure if you can tell. A couple of layers are popped up on dimensionals, white taffeta ribbon and some pearls finish it up.

The card that almost wasn't...

***Check out Day 1 of MFT teasers in the post below!!!***

Oh, this sweet little PI looks innocent enough, but don't let her fool ya! She gave me such a hard time and I've got the ink on almost every finger to prove it! Really, it's not her fault and I can neither confirm nor deny that my not eating breakfast and having way too much coffee this morning had anything to do with the fits this card gave me. Yes, I just finished it this morning but that had nothing to do with it either... ok, maybe it did... *done whining* :)

I totally had different dp in mind when I was coloring this Sunflower Girl. Hope you don't mind me using this MME dp again because I just love it and well, it totally worked with her today! I think I'm starting to get used to these wonky panels, too! The sentiment is from the All Smiles set and was cut out using the file tab dienamic. Instead of the circle on the sketch, I just cut apart a Leafy flourish dienamic and placed it under the main panel. And yes, I did mean to leave her shoes white! They're actually colored in with a white gel pen... makes me think of those patent leather white shoes little girls wear. The scalloped edge on the main image panel was cut using the medium scallop dienamic. Yes, I loooove my dienamics!

Are y'all ready for a week full of FUN?!?! I know I AM!!! Up first is this month's Who's That Girl...

Er, I mean, Who's that Mummy! That is one sassy mummy! And don't you love that sentiment?! Ha! She is completely colored with copics (and a little bit of SU's barely banana marker). I drew the lines on the floor for a cool black and white tile look. I used 4 MFT dienamics on this card: dizzy doily duo, file tab, open zig zag border, and tag you're it. A button and a little gingham top off the tag. I added two more buttons, some faux stitching and two hand-stitched X's to finish it all off.

Sketches make me happy!

Hi all! Well, the boys are back in school! I thought I was ready until I dropped off my middle one at middle school (the 9th grader caught the bus - ACK, one in high school!). Seeing my sweet middle child walking around those monstrous high schoolers (his campus is combined with the high school) freaked me out! I cried! Ugh. Then dropping off the 3rd grader wasn't any easier... but they all came home and said they had a pretty good day, so I felt better. On to the craftiness!

This week's sketch was a tough one for me! Something about skinny tilted panels... so I took the easy way out! Dienamics to the rescue! I finally broke down and got these Butterfly dienamics. Aren't they so pretty!?! I decided to go all Jackie Pedro on you and ruffle up some velvet ribbon. Maybe I should let Jackie do it since she's better? :) The only stamping is the sentiment, which is from the Triple Scoop promo set, All Smiles. I highlighted the word "You" with a marker. The sentiment was cut out using the File Tab dienamic, but I snipped off the edges so it looks like I just rounded the edges. The panel that the sentiment is attached to is up on pop dots because of the bulky ribbon. I added silver pearls to the butterflies, partly because I had to cover up a small boo-boo (he!), then added larger pearls to all four corners. On the inside, I simple added some dp cut out using Dizzy Border dienamic with another strip of dp on top.

Thanks for popping in! Be sure and check out the MFT Blog to see the list of designers working with the sketch this week!!!

I like MFTWSC33 a latte!

Hi! Here's my take on this week's sketch challenge for MFT. I decided to go with a fave of mine, the Miss You a Latte a la mode. I paper pieced her pants and the part of the cups with my new MME six by six dp! Love! She's also cut "out of the box" (see her legs kinda hanging over the ribbon?). I split up the sentiment so it would fit in a circle and added a blingie circle that I got from M's a while ago. I used the Mini Ticket border dienamic and highlighted the cut out notches with extra bling. Lots of dp used here and I LOVE it!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to swing by the MFT BLOG to see the list of amazing designers participating in the sketch!

Berry sweet

Hi! Yes, I stamped again! I'm on a roll and I love it!

Here's a card I made for one of Flourishes release challenges which you can see here. I love coloring the images from Flourishes sets! Used various copics for the berries and leaves and outlined the image using SU's barely banana marker. I sponged around the main image with saffron ink. I used riding hood red to sponge the center of the sentiment panel, which is up on dimensionals. The moss panel behind the main image was stamped using one of the leaf images in versamark from the same set. I used my moss SU marker to add more color to the leaves. I'm happy that I got to use up some old SU dp and riding hood taffeta ribbon. Added a button, some bling and faux stitching to finish it all up!

Thanks for stopping by!
