My Favorite Things: Getting Sketchy #206

How are your holiday cards going? This is my second, so for me, it's going slowwwwly. Great news, I am BEYOND excited that my snowman card won me a gift certificate to My Favorite Things, YAY! My wishlist is soooo long over there! I'm playing with their sketch again this week, and again, I used only MFT Stamps and Dies:



The large snowflake is embossed in silver. This was for the Just Us Girls Sparkle Challenge and City Crafter's Glittering Snowflakes Challenge. The color Scheme came from The Card Concept. The photo inspired me to use the "For You" sentiment, since it was hot chocolate being served to someone. Also, the layered frost cookies inspired the layered snowflakes:

Here is the My Favorite Things Sketch....awesome!!:





I really like the way the Moroccan die was used in the sketch interpretation. I just trimmed the tiles to suit the size. And I love Die-namics Stitched Scallop Edge Die Set. It was last month's freebie when you order over $60 at mftstamps.com. Let's hope you get as hooked as I am! Thanks for stopping by, have a great nite. Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!

Lawnscaping Challenge: White on White

So tonight I wanted to play with some paper and glue. I found the Lawn Fawn Challenge Blog. The challenge was White-on-White and was ending just before midnight. I figured I can pull it off in time, but in the end I was having trouble with Photobucket and of course, missed the deadline by just minutes. I am bummed.

Sticking with the monochromatic scheme, I die cut the Stitched Journaling Card Die , Scripty Thanks Die, and the banner from the Blue Skies Die Set out of various white cardstocks. Flower sequins are from the Hello Sunshine Mixed Sequins Pack.


I took sketch inspiration from the CAS(E) this Sketch #102 Challenge:




I think the CAS sketch was a perfect fit for the Lawn Fawn dies I had in my stash. Nice and clean. Love when things work out like that, LOL, because I really don't own a lot of LF dies. Hope your week so far is great, and thanks so much for visiting. Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!

My Favorite Things: Getting Sketchy #205

Hi there! Today's card comes from the Muse Challenge #96 and the My Favorite Things Sketch. Supplies are exclusively MFT Stamps.



Here is the Muse Inspiration - Vicki Dutcher (how fab is this card?!!). I loved it and took as much inspiration as I could: the white on red polka dots, the red, white, black, kraft and green color combo, the dimensional dots, and the stitched frames (I used pierced banners).

The sketch I followed:





I was also inspired to use a Christmas/Holiday theme for Simon Says Stamp's Work it Wednesday and Wednesday Challenge.

My Favorite Things products can be found at mftstamps.com or simonsaysstamp.com. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!

Cocoa Daisy: Weathervane

It's soooo cold! Crazy weather, huh? I created an 8x8 today using this month's Cocoa Daisy sketch, the Weathervane kit and Wind Chime Add-On. We went to an Islamic wedding this summer and we were dressed to the nines. Rianna looked especially beautiful:

Cocoa Daisy Main Kit: Elle's Studio Sycamore Lane - Feathers PP; Heidi Swapp September Skies - Alpine Rose, Open Air PP, Ephemera Pack; Pebbles Home+Made Silver PP
Cocoa Daisy Add-On: Kaisercraft Happy Snaps - Alpha Sticker
My Favorite Things: Die-namics LLD Insert It - InstaFrame, Die-namics Dainty Doily Duo, Die-namics Fishtail Flag STAX

And here is their November Sketch:



Mini Tiny Circles 6x6 Template inked with Rusty Keys and used a Fiskars Postage Stamp Border Punch along the side. Pretty straightforward take on the sketch and I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!! Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!

Scrapbook Circle Guest Designer

Happy October! This month, I am guesting at Scrapbook Circle and this month's kits are SUPER FUN! I've been a subscriber for close to three years and I really, really love the kits. They don't skimp, the selections are so well put together, I literally get excited when I find my kit on my doorstep. Today on their blog is my introduction post, which includes a fun Q&A and the first project I made for them. More projects will be revealed throughout the month as we go through and play with our kits, including a sketch and other fun product and technique based challenges. I am soooooo looking forward to it all!

I loved playing with this kit. Lisa's got a great eye for mixing all the latest and greatest into her kits. There's lots of brand new Chickaniddy Crafts, Elle's Studio and Fancy Pants Designs. I made this 8x8 layout using only the Main Kit, "On This Day", which is still available for purchase. This is about Bearemy, Jabran's beloved teddy bear who had lost his arm and needed some stitching - so Grandma's mending it:

Scrapbook Circle Main Kit: Chickaniddy Crafts Scrumptious - Hay Ride PP, Journal Tag Stickers; Echo Park Creative Agenda - Blue Stripe PP, Days of the Week PP, 12x12 Alpha Sticker Sheet; Elle's Studio Sycamore Lane - Happy PP, Cork Set; Fancy Pants True Friends - I Heart You; Freckled Fawn Black Flat Sentiment Paperclips
My Favorite Things: Die-namics Stacking Stars, Die-namics Pierced Traditional Tag STAX

I used the Scrapbook Circle September Sketch:

The add-ons were too irresistable to pass up, so I got both! This card was made using only the "Good Times" Add-On:

Scrapbook Circle Add-On #1: Chickaniddy Crafts Scrumptious - 6x6 Paper Pad, Die Cut Tags; Fancy Pants True Friend - Label Stickers, Button Set
My Favorite Things: Die-namics Proof Positive Cover-Up, Die-namics Pinking Edge Circle STAX, Die-namics Framed Greetings

I used the My Favorite Things Card Sketch:

and this, using only the second add-on, "Right Now" :

Scrapbook Circle Add-On #2: Chickiniddy Crafts Scrumptious - Enamel Stars; Echo Park Creative Agenda - 6x12 Chipboard; Elle's Studio Sycamore Lane - Bits and Pieces; Fancy Pants True Friend - 6x6 Paper Pad
My Favorite Things: Orange Fizz Cardstock, Die-namics Many Thanks, Die-namics LLD Insert It 3x4 Notebook Paper, Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX

Using the current Retro Sketches:
