My Favorite Things–WSC380!
Hello again!
I promised that I’d be back soon, so here I am to share my take on this week’s Wednesday Sketch Challenge! When I’m struggling with my creative mojo, I look to a sketch to get it moving again! The My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketches are some of the best to spark some creative energy in me! And this week’s sketch did just that! Here’s the sketch:
And here’s my take on the sketch:
I just adore those funny little monsters from the Monster Sized Stamp Set. They just make me happy! I added some fun detail with the Peek-A-Boo Polka Dots Die-Namics and the Jumbo Peek-A-Boo Circle Die-Namics. My grandson will be turning eight in a few weeks – this will be winging its way to him then! I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below.

And while you’re there, be sure and link up your own take on the sketch for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher from the MFT Online Boutique! It’s a random draw, so what do you have to lose?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m busy playing with my grandkids in the pool! But I’ll be back very soon with more stampy goodness! Until then, I hope you have a great day!!

My Favorite Things–MFT and Friends!
Hello friends!
It’s been a few days since I’ve posted! Our kids and grandkids are here visiting so I’ve bee locked in my craft room trying to get ahead in my deadlines so that I can play in the pool with the kids! So, I’m quickly popping in today to share the project that I created for a new Creative Team Challenge called MFT & Friends! It’s our opportunity to share more projects using this month’s new release, and some of our favorite designer friends are joining in on the fun! My project features the new Cloud Shaker Window & Frame Die-Namics, the new Cloud Shaker Pouches, and the new Rain or Shine Stamp Set. I paired them with the previously released Distressed Patterns Stamp Set – one of my faves!!
I tell you what – the new Cloud Shaker Window & Frame Die-Namics and the corresponding Cloud Shaker Pouches make assembling shaker cards such a breeze!! It all fits together like a glove! I used the Distressed Patterns Stamp Set to create the rainbow rain. And the sentiment is from the new Rain or Shine Stamp Set. Check out those Clear Rain Drops!! OMG!! Are they not so fun?!! I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below.
Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other awesome designs created by my teammates and some of our friends using this month’s new release! If you weren’t inspired before, I guarantee you’ll be inspired now!
That’s it for me today, friends! I’ll be back very soon with more crafty goodness. Thanks so much for stopping by today – it makes my heart smile when you do!

My Favorite Things–Wednesday Sketch Challenge #379!
Well, hello again!
I haven’t played along with the Wednesday Sketch Challenge in a few weeks, so I was pretty excited to get a chance to play this week! I love this week’s sketch!
It’s a good one, right?!! Here’s my answer to the challenge!
I decided to flip the sketch and make the upper portion into some clouds using the Stitched Cloud Edges Die-Namics. I used the new Mini Raindrops Stencil and some transparent embossing paste to add some textured raindrops to the Summer Splash Card Base. The sentiment is from the new Aim for the Clouds Stamp Set, and I die cut it using the Slanted Sentiment Strips Die-Namics. I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below.
Please click on through to the MFT Challenge Blog to be linked to the other beautiful interpretations of this week’s Sketch Challenge! And while you’re there, be sure and link up your own take on the sketch for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique! We’d love to see your designs!
That’s it for me today, friends! Still plugging away in my craft room. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more crafty goodness – I hope you’ll drop by again to check it out!

My Favorite Things–April New Product Launch!!
Hola!
Can you believe it’s FINALLY time for the April Release to go live?!! If you’ve been enjoying the countdown posts as much as I have, I would imagine that every single new product will be winging their way to you very soon!! I have a project that I created for this month’s Release Class, and of course it’s interactive. I guess I kinda like that stuff now. LOL It features the new Toad-Ally Awesome Stamp Set and coordinating dies. Check it!
Okay so I wanted to figure out a way to pull on a tab, and make the frog jump. So I went to work to figure out the engineering of it all, and I’m thrilled to say that I did! Here’s what it looks like when you pull on the tab!
So that tab is attached to a plastic loop, so that when you pull on it, the frog leaps up! I was pretty stinkin’ proud of myself for figuring that one out! I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below. You can find the step-by-step video for my project HERE on Friday, April 6th at 9:00 PM EDT and a printable PDF HERE on Sunday, April 8th! Here’s a sneak peek of each of this month’s Release Class projects:

My Favorite Things–April Release Countdown Day 1!!
Hello again!
We are ever so close to the April Release! Just one more sleep, and all of those April goodies will be available for purchase!! I’m popping in today to share one last project before the New Product Launch – this one featuring the new Cross-Stitch Rectangle Die-Namics and the new Congrats Die (free with $60 purchase).
How fun is this?!! I’m so excited that we now have a cross-stitch platform that allows for larger patterns and designs! I had a blast creating this sweet little scene, and thought it’d be perfect for a new home owner or even something a real estate agent could create for their new buyers! I’m loving cross-stitching on my projects – it’s so therapeutic for me! You can bet I’ll be using the new Cross-Stitch Rectangle Die-Namics OFTEN! As I mentioned, the Congrats die is the new “free with $60 purchase” die. And I love it! The stamped sentiment is from the previously released No Place Like Home Stamp Set. I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below.
Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other fabulous projects that my ingenious designer peeps have created for your inspiration! While you’re there, be sure and leave some love along the way for your chance to win a $75 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique. The April Release will be available for purchase on Tuesday, April 3rd at 9:00 PM EDT!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m working my way through my “to do” list these days, but I’ll be back again real soon with more crafty goodness to share with you! I hope you’ll drop by again real soon!

My Favorite Things–April Release Countdown Day 2!
Hello again!
We’re almost ready for this month’s My Favorite Things April Release!! Just one more day until it can be in your hot little hands! I’m popping in today to share another project, this one featuring the new A Tweet Hello Stamp Set and coordinating dies, as well as the new Garden Gate Die-Namics! Check it out!
A Tweet Hello Stamp Set is full of super cute bird images, as well as some perfectly paired sentiments! I combined the A Tweet Hello Stamp Set with the musical notes from the Jungle Vibes Stamp Set and coordinating dies (previously released) as I thought they were a perfect fit for the “A Note to Lift Your Spirits” sentiment. And the beauty of the new Garden Gate Die-Namics just speaks to me! The ornamental beauty can be subtle (like it is here) or dramatic – I love that! I’ve listed and linked all of the products that I used below.
Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other fantastic projects that my teammates have created for this month’s countdown. There’s some good stuff there, I tell ya! While you’re there, be sure and leave some love along the way for your chance to win a $75 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique!
