Monthly Archives: February 2010

Hi everyone!  I’m jumping in today with Day 2 of March release previews from My Favorite Things.  (Release time 10 p.m., Wednesday, March 3rd.)  Today the team is posting samples using two new sets, Clearly Sentimental About You and Joy Ride.  I chose Joy Ride.  🙂

On the Go…Go…Go

This fun set consists of the image you see here, a little dog, a piece of luggage and five fun sentiments with a bit of a travel theme. 

I paired my image with Cosmo Cricket’s new Joy Ride paper.   I thought the crazy numbers and spinning clock hands were a great match with the sentiment.

For a bit of an “extra touch,” I colored over the goggles, headlight and wheels with a clear 3-d glaze pen (which, of course, you cannot see).

Here’s the little dog on the inside of my card:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more!  Have a great day!

Stamps:  My Favorite Things “Joy Ride”  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black  Cardstock: Prism Wizard Dark, MFT Cream Perfect Paper Panel  Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket Joy Ride 6×6 Mini Deck    Accessories:  Copic markers (E000, E31, E33, V000, V95, W00, W1, W3, W5, BG0000), Spellbinders Nestabilities, ribbon, Sakura 3-d clear glaze pen,  dimensional boosters.  Finished size 5 ½” x 5 ½”.

I feel kind of bad.  Instead of turning the page of my birthday calendar at the end of January (or better yet, in the middle of January), I turned it this weekend.  And I missed a friend’s birthday.  But it gave me a chance to use the new Twisted Threesome set by My Favorite Things.  (Some of the sentiments in this set may be offensive to some.  Just thought I should point that out.)

Where was my head?

This sentiment cracks me up… so perfect with the WTG images.

The fancy velvet ribbon with ruffled trim was a gift from my sweet friend, Jody.  (I love it!)

As you can see, I paper-pieced the entire image (even the tiny candle flames).  I didn’t want the big polka dots on the dress as is on the stamp, so I used a teardrop black Memento stamp pad, carefully inking around the outer edges of the dress with the pointed end of the pad.  It worked great. 

The remainder of the sentiment helps to finish the inside:

This card will be going out in tomorrow’s mail…unless I forget to buy stamps in the morning.

And I’m trying to work up the nerve to use my favorite sentiment from the Twisted set.  We’ll see.  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

I used one of the other chicks from the set on the inside:

Hi everyone!  Just a quick post tonight. I need to go sit on the couch to see who Jake dumps next.  (And I’ll be drinking a big glass of wine as I just received an email stating that the schools are closed AGAIN tomorrow!  We’re pushing two weeks off here, people.  My patience is seriously being tried.)

Hurry Home

This is another of the new Jolinne images from My Favorite Things.   For some reason, I had a bit of a hard time shading the luggage so I used my Prismacolor pencils over the markers.  Typically I only use them to color in the ground or floor but they pulled double duty here.

.

The only little “extra” on this card is the dots of black glaze pen I used on the girl’s eyes.  It adds just a bit of interest by making her eyes darker.  And shiny.

.

Here’s the inside.  Again, nothing fancy.  (But I do love this paper.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow night with an MFT hop.  Have a good night/day!
