Hello, Sunshine 32

Hi there! Hope you are having a great week so far! It's time for an all new MFTWSC sketch challenge. Thanks to all who joined along with last week's sketch! 

Here's the sketch we will be playing with:

and here's my interpretation featuring the sweet image from the new Birdie Brown Designs Sunflower Sweetheart stamp set which is included in the MFT March New Product Release!

To create this card, I stamped the sweet image from the new Birdie Brown Designs Sunflower Sweetheart stamp set on the coordinating die cut piece, colored then adhered on to a double layer of Pierced Circles. I stamped a sentiment from Birdie Brown Designs Sunflower Sweetheart on a die cut piece that was made using a die from the Blueprints 3 set. The pretty patterned paper used is from the Pion design Grandma's school book collection. 

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you join along in the fun! You have the opportunity to win a $20. gift certificate to the MFT Boutique! Be sure to visit the MFT blog for additional inspiration.
Be Sweet ;)

Happy Easter 38

This release, just like ALL of MFT's releases is overflowing with fabulous products!

Today I have a card to share featuring the new and fun Easter Bunny stamp set along with the coordinating Die-namics dies and the new Die-namics Blueprints 13 set. The pretty patterned paper is from the Pion design A Day in May collection.

To create this card, I stamped the cute bunny from Easter Bunny using Kraft ink on the coordinating die cut then mounted him on a layered piece that was made using dies from the Die-namics Blueprints 13 set. I stamped a sentiment from Easter Bunny on a die cut that also was made using a fun and versatile die from the Die-namics Blueprints 13 set. I topped it off with a pretty die cut blossom that was made using dies from the Die-namics Blueprints 12 set.

heartfelt thanks 35

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week, DT member Sandra is challenging us to be inspired by time. From clocks to gears to challenging yourself to create a project in a specific amount of time ~ the choice is up to you. The clock is ticking! Can't wait to see what you create!

I was inspired to give a Pocket Watch a shabby appearance so I applied crackle paint to the outer layer:

Once dry, I embellished with the following: a large heart doily, bitty blossoms, leaves and a Clock:

a beautiful butterfly and a Tag:

I Love Your Smile 49

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! I had some "me" time today so I made a few projects using pretty Pion design patterned papers from the Alma's Sewing Room collection. First up is a layout featuring a trio of photos of sweet Meredith:

Using Spellbinders dies, I cut multiple layers of pretty Pion design papers, layered, and stitched them together along with a photo. Prior to adhereing them in place, I added texture and design, using the MFT Petal Circles Stencil. For the title, I stamped a sentiment from MFT Complimentary Greetings:

For layout sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Scrap Africa challenge which is a sketch challenge:

Next up is a card made from the leftover layout scraps along with a sentiment from MFT More Essential Sentiments:

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of MFT Primitive White then cut using a Die-namics Circle STAX Set 1 die:

For card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current MOJO Monday sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for visiting ~ I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Be Sweet ;)
