Sending You Love

Happy Friday!!!

I'm so excited for this week to be over.

1. It's been super busy and exhausting at work this week.

2. Our deep freeze is ending and a chinook is blowing in!

It's so cold in my basement where I stamp that I haven't been able to colour all week :(

Hard to colour when you can't feel your fingers....lol

This is another quick card made using the MFT sketch #55.

I used the First Class Friend Die and Stamp set. The felt heart was cut using a die from the Homespun Birdhouse.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi, it's me.....with a little blog candy

Hi!

It's been a long time since I have done some sort of blog candy.

Mostly because I just can't get myself organized enough to do it! LOL!

Last year was a GREAT year for me both professionally and personally.

I started the year off on the MFT Sketch Team but was quickly invited to join the Design Team.

I'm sure if you are a frequent visitor to my blog you can tell that I {heart} MFT.

As much as I loved being on the DT I had to step down last summer do to work commitments at the time.

Leaving the DT didn't stop me from ordering from them each month. Call it an addiction...lol

I'll get to the blog candy in a minute but wanted to share one last card from last years MFT weekly sketches.

I believe this was sketch #23.

Ok so what you probably came here for:

Blog Candy!!

Since the MFT just had their release I'm sure you must have something you want so....

A $15 Gift Certificate to MFT

I will make a draw for it on Friday evening.

Just leave a comment on this post.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck!

***Draw has been done and winner posted***

Love Bird - MFTWSC52

Here is another card I created for last week's MFT Sketch #52.

This card uses a couple of MFT die sets....

Homespun Birdhouse and Contempo Birdcage.

Pretty simple card with no stamping.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Yours Truly

I am in love with this Echo Park Yours Truly designer paper!!!

I can't seem to put it away....lol

It's going to be all gone very soon :(

I've created a couple of cards with it lately.

This first one was done yesterday for the Featured Stamper on SCS.

I chose to case Lana's card here.

The use of scraps to create the background was perfect as I had a bunch on my table.

Of course I used an adorable Pure Innocence from MFT.

My next card was created last week for the MFT sketch #52.

Looking back at 2011 I realized I had only missed two MFT sketches! Not bad considering I've had a busy year with work, travel and other DT commitments.

I hope to complete all in 2012 :)

Stamps are from the Own Your Story.

The flower is a newer dienamic called Fringed Flower.

Well I have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off this week! Love the extra days from Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years Day!

Chloe and I are planning to see a movie, do a little more shopping and play more on the Wii and Xbox!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT day!

You Colour My World

This year Chloe is really into painting and art so I thought I'd make a card for her.

I pulled out the You Colour My World Pure Innocence from MFT.

The October Afternoon DP was still on my table and I thought it would work wonderfully with this little cutie.

The negative side of the Crown Dienamics was used along the edge. I like the different look!

The layout comes from the MFT Sketch #51.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Gratitude is the Open Door to Abundance

Last night there was nothing good on tv so I chose to head to the basement and do a little stamping.

Soon I'll be in need of thank you cards.

I decided to pull out this MFT set called Clearly Sentimental About Abundance.

There were several die-namics used on my card as well.

Layered Label Die, Scallops Die, Prima Donna Petals Die.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Home....

is where my heart is.

I have been busy Christmas shopping and wrapping gifts this weekend and haven't stepped into my stamp area.

Hopefully today!

It's only two weeks until Christmas!!!!

My card below was created for the MFT sketch #49 that was posted last Wednesday.

I still had these papers on my desk from the Mojo Monday card and thought I'd give them another go.

Here I used the fabulous Well Worn stamp and die set from MFT.

Love that set!

Thanks for stopping by today~

At Christmas, all roads lead home

I'm really rushed for time so I will just leave you this card using the MFT sketch #48.

I love this sentiment and think it's from the Clearly Sentimental About Christmas.

I used a variety of dies and some fun designer paper.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great Friday!

Christmas List

I had this cute little PI girl coloured on my table and thought I'd use her to put together a card last night.

Here's another Christmas card to add to my pile ;)

The layout comes from the MFT sketch #44.

Added a little bit of Spica Pen to her heart and shoes.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fight Like a Girl

Hello!

Yesterday was go go go!

I managed to only complete one card. So unusual!

This one was started before dinner and then finished afterward.

The layout comes from the MFT Sketch #43 again. It's a great sketch, eh?

Just this past week I received my latest MFT order in the mail and was anxious to get this sweet image inky.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Snow Day MFT sketch #43

Good Saturday Morning!

I noticed on Facebook yesterday that several of my friends in the Eastern US got snow!

hehe....not us...yet ;)

We almost always have some snow before Halloween BUT this will be the second year in a row that I we haven't....yippee!

Gosh, I really must get busy stock piling my holiday cards. I have a lot to give out this year!

So here's another Pure Innocence one.

I've used the fun MFT sketch #43 for my layout.

We are off to Costco this morning and then home to carve pumpkins!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

What's Poppin'?

Sunday was such an awesome day!!

I made SIX cards! Fun!

This little Pure Innocence card was made using the MFT Sketch #42.

Loved all the layers in the sketch :)

I finally opend up the Mini Film Strip Die-namic that I've had for months! It's so cool but does take a little time to poke out all those little holes....lol

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday - MFT sketch #41

Well hello!

I'm so happy you could stop by today!

I have another quick card for you using the same papers as yesterday. I figured since they were still at my table I should go ahead and create another card with them. They are pretty after all :)

This layout comes from the MFT sketch #41.

I used the fun First Class Friend Stamp and Die set.

The yellow rose was on my table from when my friend Michelle was visiting me from Boise last weekend. I was showing her how easy they are to create.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Friends Stick Together - MFTWSC39

Good Saturday Morning!

Happy World Card Making Day!

I was up first thing this morning before the sun came up and headed to the basement stamping!

Ahhhhhhh love it!

It's been quite a few days since I'd gotten inky and I was getting antsy to get at it again.

I created this card below with a new MFT set that arrived in my mailbox yesterday! FUN!

The layout comes from this week's MFT Sketch #39. First Class Friend was used along with some Cosmo Cricket Clemantine designer paper.

Well in between making cabbage rolls and perogies today(for our Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend) I hope to get a little more stamping in today ;)

Enjoy your Saturday!

Howdy, Friend

Good afternoon

I've been busting my butt cleaning and organizing the house today and finally I *had* to take a break.

What better way to relax than stamp? Right?

I was out of town this week so I needed to catch up on some challenges.

Here was the great MFT sketch from Wednesday....

Here is my card for the sketch.

I've also combined it with the Ribbon Carousel's Challenge #21 of using fabric.

Cleaning out Chloe's closet today I found an old pair of her jeans that no longer fit. Now normally I give these items away but then I'd have no demin to use ;)

Stamps: Well Worn; Cardstock: White, Riding Hood Red, DP; Inks: Black, Riding Hood Red; Accessories: Denim, Well Worn Dies, MFT Scallops, Sewing, Dimensionals, Lemon Tart Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Busy Now...

Ahhhh it's the weekend and that means stamp time.

Love it!

Yesterday I had time to play along with the girls from the Ribbon Carousel and their Getting Punny Challenge.

I used the fun layout from MFT's sketch #37 again. Great sketch, eh?

Papers come from Echo Park Happy Days.

Here is a shot of the inside where I stamped a sentiment from the Twisted Foursome.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cutie Pie MFTWSC36

Happy Friday!

Gosh I love short work weeks! Wish we had more of them :)

Last night it was hot in our house so I headed down to the basement to stamp.

I really enjoy playing along with the MFT sketch challenges.

I used my all time fave Pure Innocence girl called Being Cute Is What I Do.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I See...

Hello!

Sunday afternoon instead of doing all those "things" that I should have been doing, I was stamping ;)

Shortly before leaving for vacation I received several different packages in the mail.

One of them had this pretty designer paper and another had this adorable new MFT a la mode I Spy.

Isn't she CUTE?

As I said last week, just because I'm no longer on the MFT design team doesn't mean I don't love the stamps and sketches :)

Last Wednesday they had a fabulous one that would be perfect for the new a la mode!!

I stamped and coloured her with copics and added a bit of glossy accents to the magnifying glass.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweetheart

Happy Monday!

We should be arriving at our hotel in Vegas this afternoon and I plan on kicking back relaxing poolside!

Last Friday I had the day off and I stamped like crazy! It was WONDERFUL!

I really wanted to play along with the MFT Wednesday sketch.

I stamped this cute PI girl and coloured with copics.

The hearts were cut with some Verve dies. So fun!

Stamps: Pure Innocence; Cardstock: Kraft, Cream, DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Sewing, Satin Ribbon, MFT Scallop Die, Verve Jotted Heart Die, Verve From the Heart Die, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sunflower WTG - MFTWSC32

MFT had another wonderful sketch posted yesterday.

I chose to go with a circle panel so I could use the fun Sunflower WTG.

Love that image!

I also used the Upsy Daisy dienamics to create my flower.

Thanks for stopping by!
