MFT Sketch #264 Take 2

Here's my take 2 for this week's MFT sketch challenge. Can you tell that I just got a new shipment of MFT stamps?? I think they are my favorite company now, and the coolest thing is that they are headquartered in the town that I was born and raised, in Eustis, Florida! Our vacation this year is down to visit family in FL, so you better believe that MFT will be on the itinerary :)

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #261

Playing along with last week's MFT Sketch challenge was so fun that I decided to do it again, with more of my new MFT stamps! I made two types of these cards for this sketch and I liked them so much that I ended up making 9 more as thank you cards. Its hard to decide between the ornament and present card, but I think I like the present one the best, what about you? I have even more new MFT stamps, so you may be seeing me play along with one of the challenges again, soon!

12 Kits of Occasions December 2015

Oh My GOSH! This kit was SOOO amazing! I also had it completed almost before the month began, and thank goodness, because I was short on Christmas cards...but Lindsey to the rescue! I created TEN with her fabulous kit. I also found some new stamps to love and had to purchase the Ellen Hutson house stamps and dies because they were just so darn cute. It's really hard for me to pick my favorite card this time because I just love the colors and images. I chose the "peace" card for the blog because it is so serene and reminds me of camping. I actually gave it to Phillip as his card because of it. I really loved this kit oh so much!

Make sure to head over to the 12 Kits blog after you check out my cards (it may take you awhile, don't forget I made 10!) to check out what the other ladies created and see the supply list, but also for some news! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and here's wishing you a very crafty new year :)

MFT Sketch Challenge #260

I got some adorable new MFT stamps for Christmas, so decided that I would play along with this week's sketch challenge. I first started with the second card pictured, but tried tilting it on the second (which is actually the first pictured) and ended up liking that one even more, so I am submitting that one. Which do you prefer?

The 12 Kits of Occasions November 2015

Kim sent us an adorable kit this month that included some really sweet images from My Favorite Things. There were some adorable fall images from the Harvest Mouse set, but as you can see below I decided to go all holiday...hey, I needed more Christmas cards, okay? ;) I loved these adorable polar bears and the fun washi tape and polka dot paper she sent. I did add two of my own new sentiments from MFT (the holly jolly and warm wishes sentiments) but other than that everything is from Kim's cute kit. Make sure to stop by the 12 Kits blog to see what everyone else created this month, too! I hear there's a chance to win next month's kit!

The 12 Kits of Occasions: October 2015

This kit was put together by Joyce and I loved it! I really had wanted that cute suitcase set from PTI, but didn't buy it, it was so fun to use it :) I loved the papers and colors that she added to the kit. There were also some fun scenes of worldly places and some really great sentiments. I created 4 cards but have some leftovers so I can copy some that I see after the blog posts tomorrow :)

I especially love the sentiment on the second card because this has been Sonny's favorite book lately..."Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss. In fact I've read it so much lately that I can almost recite it by heart!

Thanks as always for stopping by! Make sure to check out the beautiful creations on the 12 Kits blog, you aren't going to want to miss them!

The 12 Kits of Occasions October 2015

Not only is it time for the 12 kits, it is my month to be the hostess! I got Halloween as my theme (specifically Welcome to my Nightmare). I don't even own a scary Halloween stamp, so everyone got a kit full of cuteness instead! It was fun to put this together as I have many Halloween sets. I'm sorry to say that I only created 4 cards this month as I have family visiting for a very big event that is happening on Friday...Sonny is turning TWO! I think this is the very first time that I waited until the night before our post to sit down to create, but lucky for me I have all the supplies still sitting out on my desk so I can get crafty after the celebration and make even more Halloween cards, and I can be inspired by the fabulous cards my talented friends create!
