You'll find all the details on today's challenge from My Favorite Things HERE in the MFT Forum.

Please note: Gallery uploads must be completed by February 28th, 2013 at 1:00pm Eastern Standard Time to be eligible.

Here's my card for today's challenge: (all details are located HERE in the MFT Forum). One of the many things I love about MFT stamps is how easy it is to mix images from various sets.  I combined stamps from LJD Embellished Eggs, LJD Homespun Hearts and Inspired by Flowers Set #1 to create this card.

I combined the sweet flowers from LJD Embellished Eggs, with the leaves from LJD Homespun Hearts and a sentiment from Inspired by Flowers Set #1.

Thanks so much for visiting! Be sure to visit the MFT blog for a list of designers who are participating in the Love Fest and for COMPLETE details!
Be Sweet ;)

I heart you! 41

Hi there! So happy it's Friday and even happier that I have the day off from work :) Before I start running errands which includes a visit to my gym ~ Life Time Fitness, I thought I would get a creative work out in and make a card using a fun heart and sentiment from LJD Homespun Hearts. 

The LJD Homespun Hearts contains many versatile images and sentiments that may be used year round to make a card for a friend, co-worker or that certain someone just to simply let them know you care about them :) Not only is the set versatile but it also coordinates with Die-namics LJD Rustic Hearts! If you love dies as much as I do, I am quite sure you will find these items AMAZING!

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Freshly Made Sketches:

Thank so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend!

Love grows here...MFT January NPT 97

Hi there! Welcome to the MFT New Product Tour, where you'll get a look at ALL the new stamp sets one more time. You can finalize your wish list and head over to the MFT Boutique to SHOP until your hearts content! All the new products are available NOW, right HERE.

*Note, if you stopped by late yesterday evening, I had a different project to share but had to remove because the previous project was chosen for publication. Thank you :)

I made a few cards while focusing on the LJD Homespun Hearts stamp set. 

I layered one of the fun hearts made using LJD Homespun Hearts and Die-namics LJD Rustic Hearts on a die cut doily and topped it off with a rose made using Die-namics Mini Royal Roses. The sentiment is from  LJD Homespun Hearts as well and was stamped on a die cut strip made using Die-namics Accent It - Labels and Tabs.

The second card features a trio of stamped / die cut heart made using LJD Homespun Hearts and Die-namics LJD Rustic Hearts as well as a sentiment tag made using one of the many sweet sentiments included in the LJD Homespun Hearts stamp set.

I topped off the card with a Natural button.

Shown below are the Die-namics included in the January release that I used today:

Thanks so much for visting. I hope you have been inspired to create! 

Be Sweet ;)

so sweet...MFT January Die-namics Feature & Pep Rally 58

Hi there! Welcome to the January MFT Die-namics Feature & Pre-Release Pep Rally! Now that we've teased and tempted you all week long, it's almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin' New products from MFT. But first... it's time for our Die-namics Feature and Pre-Release Pep Rally! Our Design Team has been busy creating jaw-dropping and inspiring projects for you, and we've saved the best for last. We've taken an in-depth look at this month's Die-namics, while re-visiting the amazing sets being released tonight at 10 PM EST RIGHT HERE in the MFT Boutique.
And while we are at it, how about we make your life even easier with a "cheat sheet" of all that's new? Head over to the MFT Blog to print out a shopping list.

For today's project, I chose to focus on the pretty Die-namics Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose while including many other MFT goodies ;)

I made a layout featuring a photo of Meredith that was taken years ago. I layered the photo on a piece of paper that was stamped using LJD Hearts and Stitches then surrounded sweet Meredith with lots of homemade blossoms all made using a variety of Die-namics. I snuck in a few stamped hearts using LJD  Homespun Hearts along with the new MFT Kraft and Sno Cone ink that were stamped on die cut hearts made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts.

I had a lot of fun making Mini Hybrid Heirloom Roses using a two different colors of cardstock rather than one. The Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose shown below was made using a combination of Berrylicious and Sno Cone cardstock which I layered on a heart doily made using Die-namics Heart Doily and flourish made using Die-namics Leaf Filled Flourish.

Shown below is a trio of more Mini Hybrid Heirloom Roses along with a few little blossoms that were made using the following Die-namics: Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses and Die-namics Mini Royal Roses.

Shown below are the Die-namics that I used on my layout today included in the January release: 

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Creative Scrappers.

I Love You...MFT January Teasers Day 4 51

Happy Friday! Welcome to Day 4 of the January Teasers! Today I have a few fun treats to share with you featuring Lollipop Additions - Love which coordinate marvelously with Die-namics Lollipop Treat Die. 

I think these would make for fun little gestures of friendship / love to give to a co-worker, teacher, class mate, family member, friend, etc... The possibilities are endless!

No two are alike! Since MFT offers such a variety of flower making Die-namics, I thought I would make each one unique by not only mixing up the color combinations but by also featuring a different blossom on each. 

The first one up was made using a combination of the following MFT cs: Pink Lemonade, Cotton Candy, Kraft and Whip Cream. The blossom was made using a Die-namics MINI Rolled Roses die, Whip Cream cs and is layered on top of a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts along with LJD Homespun Hearts.

In case you were wondering what they look like from the side, here's a side profile:

Next was made using a combination of the following MFT cs: Sno Cone, Berrylicious, Kraft and Whip Cream. The blossom was made using a Die-namics Mini Royal Roses die, Whip Cream cs and is layered on top of a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts along with LJD Homespun Hearts.

Next was made using a combination of the following MFT cs: Natural, Paver Red, Kraft and Whip Cream. The blossom was made using a Die-namics Flower Trio & Leaf Trio, Whip Cream cs and is layered on top of a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts along with LJD Homespun Hearts.
***NOTE the Homespun Heart image was stamped using the new MFT Kraft ink!!! LOVE!

and the last but not least is one made using a combination of the following MFT cs: Grapesicle, Grape Jelly, Kraft and Whip Cream. The blossom was made using the scalloped shape die from Die-namics Hybrid Heirloom Rose, Whip Cream cs and is layered on top of a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts along with LJD Homespun Hearts.

Shown below are the Die-namics that I used on my lollipop treats included in the January release:

Thank you so very much for stopping by today! I hope you liked my set of lollipop treats!

Hugs & Kisses...MFT January Teasers Day 1 72

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the MFT January Teasers! Today I am sharing a few projects featuring LJD Homespun Hearts and LJD Hearts and Stitches. These two stamp sets coordinate marvelously together! Surely you are going to enjoy them both as much as I do! 

I didn't use any patterned paper to create the card. The stamped heart borders were stamped using one of the sweet heart images from LJD Hearts and Stitches.

I stamped three heart images on the coordinating die cuts that were cut using Die-namics Rustic Hearts then topped it off with a Natural button and a piece of hemp. 

I finished the card with a sentiment tag using a sentiment from LJD Homespun Hearts that I stamped on a die cut tag that was made using a Die-namics Decorative Circle Tag STAX die. 

I'm lovin' the new Die-namics Square Pillow Box! To create the sample shown below, I first die cut the box then dry embossed to add texture. I topped it off with a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts and LJD Homespun Hearts. 

Shown below are the Die-namics included in the January release that I used on my projects today:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my projects. I will be back tomorrow for Day 2!
Be Sweet ;)
