Enjoy Your Day...MFT May Creative Challenge 43

Hi there! Welcome to the May MFT Creative Challenge! In case you are not familiar, the MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. 

This month, "April Showers bring May Flowers!" 

MFT carries such an amazing assortment of flower making capable Die-namics dies it was challenging to narrow it down to just one, so I decided to make a card featuring a trio of various blooms using the following Die-namics dies: Die-namics Mini Royal Roses, Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses, Die-namics Rolled Flower. 

I stamped one of the beautiful butterflies from Inspired by Butterflies on a coordinating die cut made using Die-namics Inspired by Butterflies die and stamped a sentiment from MFT More Essential Sentiments.

Thanks so much for visiting! Please be sure to visit the MFT Blog for a list of participating designers who have an assortment of flower-filled creations to share with you today!
Be Sweet :)

I Love... 37

Hi there! I'm so excited that it's finally May 17th because I am boarding an airplane this morning at 7:00 am and flying to Orlando for the MFT weekend long workshop / retreat. I know it's going to be a fun filled weekend!!!! :) I made this card in honor of the event :)

 I stamped a combination of sentiments from Die-namics Girly Graphic Tee Die & Stamp Set on the coordinating tee using two colors of ink: Black Licorice and Berrylicious. I topped it off with a Wild Cherry Mini Royal Rose. 

For color inspiration, I played along with the current Play Date Cafe challenge:

Precious moments 47

Hi there! I had some "me" time so I decided to join along with the  May Scrap Around The World challenge. I made a layout featuring a photo of dear Scott and Meredith that was taken nearly 8 years ago while we were on vacation on Maui.

Scott hasn't changed a bit but Meredith has grown like a weed! She is now 5' 10" and still growing!

For texture I combined MFT Mini Chicken Wire and fiber paste, added some mist then  randomly stamped the polka dot stamp from MFT MPD Distressed Background Blocks.

Once the background was created, I added a corrugated die cut butterfly using Die-namics Butterflies, tags that were made using various Die-namics Traditional Tags STAX dies, metal trinkets and flowers.

For color and sketch inspiration I played along with the May Scrap Around The World challenge: 

Thanks so much for visiting ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!

Happy Birthday...MFTWSC124 35

Hi there! It's Wednesday so that means it's time for an all new My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge! For additional inspiration from participating DT members, please be sure to visit the MFT Blog.

Here's the sketch we are playing with:

I made a birthday card for Meredith because we are celebrating her sweet 16th birthday when she comes home from school :) I stamped the BINGO card image from LLD Document It - Bingo using Black Licorice ink on a die cut made using Die-namics LLD Insert It - 3 x 4 Insert. 

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from LLD Document It - Bingo on a piece of Smooth White cs using Razzle Berry ink. I topped it off with a black glittered kiss rose made using Die-namics Royal Rose die. 

I completed the inside as well with a combination of a stamped sentiment from Chocolate Sentiments using Razzle Berry ink and die cut numbers using Die-namics High-Rise Numbers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
