MFT Wednesday Stamp Club

Happy Stamp Club Day!
This week there is a fabulous sketch posted in the MFT forum on SCS. I liked it so much I made TWO samples!
My first one uses the adorable PI Out on a Limb.
I've also used a couple of MFT Die-namics too.
My second card uses the PI Because You're Special and the sentiment comes from the PI Best Medicine(appears to be out of stock currently).
Also the super fun Butterfly Die-namics.
I hope you'll play along with the sketch and upload to SCS! Remember you will have a chance to win a gift certificate to the MFT store! Fun, right?
Thanks for stopping by!

Mom - Mojo 183

Happy Tuesday!
How is your week going so far? Mine is off to a slow start....only four more work days until the weekend....lol
Last night after dinner I headed downstairs with Snickers to go stamping.
She gets so excited to go down there with me. That's where her "chewy" is. Well about 5 of them. She carries a rawhide down with her all the time but never brings them back up....haha!
Anyway, while I was down there, I created this card using Because of You from Verve.
The layout comes from the Mojo183 sketch. Great sketch, eh?

Thank You

Well we didn't get all the snow they SAID we were going to get....thank goodness!
Everything we did get melted on Sunday afternoon while the sun was out.
It really did feel like SPRING!
I still had a few butterflies on my table from my last card so you can imagine how excited I was when I found this card here for the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS. The card was perfect to case using my stash!
Another simple and quick CAS card.

Spread Your Wings And Fly

Happy Sunday and happy race day!
We are still under a heavy snowfall warning for today...I'm sure it's coming....

My card today was inspired by two people.
Last November I saw this card here by Mary Fish and had book marked it wanting to case the great layout. It wasn't until I saw Carole's project that I knew what I wanted to do.

I used the MFT Butterfly Die-namics and some October Afternoon DP. I coloured some white candy dots with my copics and added some Poppy Red Satin Ribbon to finish it off.
Thank you ladies for your inspiration!!!
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT day!

Wow we have had a FANTASTIC week of warm weather and the snow was melting like crazy! I could see most of my grass out back but now we are under a heavy snowfall warning....lol Boo Hoo!

Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #100!
A little bird told me there might be something sweet up for grabs if you play along with the sketch.
The sketch this week has a twist....something sweet!
I chose to use the cute PI - Make Mine a Double.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend! Hopefully you are having some nice weather!

I was excited to get my order with the new copic colours tonight and couldn't wait to create.
Funny thing is....I didn't even use them....lol
Took a peek at what the sketch was on SCS and it was a fairly simple card that took only a few minutes to make.
Went monochromatic using shades of blue from the MME Stella & Rose - Hattie Collection.
Stamp set is from Verve and is called Great Friend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this set! You can colour or paper piece....fun!

In a few short weeks we are having a retirement party for a co-worker and I was asked to make some place settings for each table. Just one for the guest of honour so he has his seat at each table to socialize with everyone.

Anyway, this is what I created using a Taylored Expressions set called Boys Will Be Boys.

If Friends Were Flowers I'd Pick You

Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Calgary!
Too bad I spent most of it indoors doing work :(
I did take a break long enough to make a card for the Featured Stamper on SCS.
Bridget had a wonderful card here that I chose to case.
I stamped the floral image from Dream Big and popped the flower up on dimensionals.
I'm loving all the white space on this card....something I don't normally do.

Season of Friendship C4C78

If you are looking for my Sweet Stop Card please scroll down....

I was up super duper early today. Yesterday I came home with a migraine and was down and out most of the day sleeping off and on. I knew that would mean I wouldn't sleep much at night...lol
So this morning Snickers had me up before the sun was up.
While the house sleeps...I stamp! Perfect right?
The girls on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog are asking us to make something with a tree.
Of course I have a couple of favourite tree stamps from SU! but Silke has used the other and I didn't want to copy....hehe!
I pulled out Season of Friendship for my card.
I know what you're thinking....this is a fall card. BUT I really wanted to use the MME designer paper...lol
See my boo boo? Last leaves I stamped I didn't press hard enough and the one ruby red didn't stamp well :(
This layout comes from the latest Viva La Verve March Sketch #3.
I'm off to do a little work this morning and then some shopping at the Coach store with Karen! Fun times!
Hope you enjoy your weekend!!

I'm so excited to be sharing a card with you that I made using the newest Viva La Verve sketch for this month.

My card started with the My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose designer papers. There are so many wonderful Verve stamps in my stash but I finally decided on One Person.

Last night I wasn't really in the mood to stamp as I had a long day visiting one of my out of town stores but it has been a few days and well....stamping is relaxing! LOL!

Best Teacher Ever MFTWSC10

Well I've finally moved on from all the soft pretty pastel colours that I've been using lately....but don't worry....they'll be back! LOL!
A couple of weeks ago I picked up the new MME Stella and Rose papers. This one is called Mabel. It's so rich and warm, don't you think?
I really wanted to use it for my MFT sketch #10.
I've paired it with the Teacher's Pet.

Actually our weather is turning around. We are going to be above the freezing mark which means messy roads...blech!
Last night after dinner I had some free time to stamp and realized there was a new Mojo sketch posted.
I really wanted to use this new American Crafts ribbon that I have had for a little while now. Digging around in my SU! drawer I found this retired Sarah DSP.

Today like every Sunday I stamp all my projects for the week ahead. I do like to TRY and stamp daily but some days I get home and just want to veg on the couch....lol
After finishing a couple of cards I decided to look at Jen's SFYTT that she posted for March.
It was a good one for using up scraps of designer paper.
Here I used the MFT set called Let's Get Physical.
Do you like these funky pants? I do! I'd wear them too :)

Think Spring SSS96

I wish our weather would co-operate here and I didn't just have to dream of Spring. We're in a little bit of a deep freeze again :(
Oh well, making some Springy cards does make me smile!
I really enjoyed the Sweet Stop Sketch this week and made three cards. I'll be back with my other one in a bit ;)
My first card uses some of my new goodies from MFT.
The cute PI girl is called You're So Tweet and the sentiment came from another PI set called Out on a Limb. The sweet little butterflies are called Die-namics Butterflies.
My second card has no stamping! I think the bright colours and butterflies makes me think of Spring. How about you? I pulled out my SU! butterfly die and dusted it off. The little butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.
Here's a look at the sketch! Hope you'll play along! Stop by the Sweet Stop blog and link up your creation.

Up Up and Away Mojo 177

This week the Mojo 177 sketch was difficult for me. Not sure why really. Maybe that tilted panel? Things like that don't normally stump me....lol

I used the super cute Up Up and Away set from Verve.
The pattern paper was in the scrap box but I think it's from My Mind's Eye.
