Making Memories

Hello! For as slow as this past work week seemed to drag, the weekend sure is fastly disappearing! I hope everyone's weekend is going well anyways. I did have some time in my craft room yesterday and made a card with this little cutie from My Favorite Things.

The layout is the sketch for the October guest designer challenge for MFT- details and sketch are here. Wouldn't that be an awesome honor! I'm really glad I found this challenge last month, so far both sketches have been a lot of fun to play with! I used the PI Picture Perfect stamp and sentiment. I colored her with my Copics and then cut her out. It took me longer to cut her out than it did to put together the entire card, but I think it was definately worth it! The My Mind's Eye paper, wooden heart button, pearls and ribbon are all from September's KI kit. The card base is MFT Hot Fudge cardstock.

This card is also my submission for the Simon Says Stamp challenge: dies or punches. I've used both on my card. The sentiment is stamped onto a flag cut with my MFT Sentiment Strips die, I just cut off one of the ends because of where I had originally placed it on the card... The border is one of my all time most used border punches from Friskars.

Thanks for looking! I'll be back tomorrow with the next ABC Challenge. Don't forget about our DT call!



Rainy Hello

Hello again! The post-man loved me yesterday... I had 3 boxes come in yesterday, and my husband had 2! Hopefully the man has a cart or something! I like to use sturdier card stock for my card bases so I get a little excited when I find a company with 100 lb cardstock... needless to say I bought one of every color at MFT!! Have to have every possible color available for a perfect match you know, lol! I wanted to try out my new goodies... love it!

I used the sketch for the next guest designer for MFT over at splitcoaststampers here. I originally was going to use a new Pure Innocence stamp, but I remembered this Who's That Girl stamp and thought the raincoats would look great paper pieced! I used the same Echo Park Hello Summer paper for the card. Some Prima flowers and misc buttons and brads and the card was done. The sentiment is from Verve stamps.

Thanks for looking! I have plenty more new supplies now so more cards to come, lol!
