MFT Sketch #239

MFT Sketch Challenge #239 on My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration is starting TODAY!

Here is this week’s sketch:This is my card for the week:

I so enjoy this little sunny dude! 🙂 The Abstract stencil and background…well, I’ve mentioned my adoration of these many-a-times too! I stamped and embossed the Build-able Blooms for the sun. It ended up a little more subtle than intended, but, alas 🙂

I squeaked in a second card. This one was made in probably five different sit-downs, so it feels a bit disjointed. But, meh, I think it’s kinda fun still 🙂

…and I think my stitching went a bit awry 🙂

My first card is made with the following supplies at My Favorite Things:

MFT Color Challenge #24!

Welcome Color Challenge #24 to the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration blog. I’m telling you, these color combos really get things moving when you’re making a card! 🙂

Here’s my card for the Challenge:  Nothing too fancy this week, but fun nonetheless. This was a challenge to photograph with that embossing slick on there. 🙂

I had some scraps on my desk and some energy left, so I whipped up these two little gift cards too:

MFT Color Challenge #22!

Today starts Color Challenge #22 on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration blog. Head on over there and see what our wickedly talented team busted out this week!

MFTC&I Blog–sure to be FABulous!

Here’s my card for the week:

I double die cut the Jumbo Dot Cover Up after inlaying the first set of circles. When you do this, you can’t exactly tell where you are cutting because the die is solid, but it worked out. 🙂Polka dots… love ’em! 🙂

I made a second card with some left over dots. It’s been a week of “hmmm, that’s not quite what I was thinking it would look like…”. Too funny. It’s still fun to send a shaker, right?

I popped up the black front panel in hopes that Sour Apple would show through the window a bit, but…not so much. Ha!! 😉It’s already growing on me more though. 🙂

Inspired by…

Today is Inspirational Day two on the MFT Blog…Go check it out!

I enjoy this quote by Dr. Suess. It is so simple, but if you stop and think, it makes you wonder. 🙂 It is so fitting for kids and for myself. Plus, I think it’s a great motto to be sure and do both. I find myself doing this every time I sit down to make a project. Thinking about what I want to make and then wonder how I can use this or that. It’s both deep and simply practical right? 🙂 Plus I freaking love this graphic Laina made. Ahhhh…. 🙂

Here’s a card I was inspired to make:

I thought this would be a super cute card for a kiddo! That lil’ squeal! 🙂

Cross stitched dies: Thud.

Hope you’ll hop over and read more this week on the MFT Blog! It’s sure to get your mind turning! 🙂 Oh, and I believe I heard the word prizes!!

You deserve a Sweet Sunday…

Sweet Sunday for the Sketch Challenge!! #268!! Such a fun variety of styles–go see what the team made on the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Blog!

Here’s my card:

This Build-able Blooms set has met the ink in my world. I think these stamps are officially smokin’ from the use they’ve gotten in the last week. And I just received a couple new ink pads, so I think they better get ready for round two! I’m not a “flower” person per say. I like flowers, I like what others make with flowers, but they just don’t seem to be my *thing*. But now!? Bwaaah! 🙂 Maybe I’ve finally met the *right* flower? Oh I laugh! 🙂

Here’s the Sketch for the week:
