My Favorite Things Previews, Day 2

Posted on May 29, 2010 | 11 comments

Hello!  🙂

Today the My Favorite Things design team is previewing three new sets, Baby Makes Three, Thanks a Bunch and What a Day.  I decided to use Thanks a Bunch because it has a lot of fabulous sentiments which can be pieced together for different occasions…Thanks for being there, for your friendship, your hospitality, making me smile, for being you, etc.  I’ll be using this one a lot!

Thanks …for making me smile

I stamped the first part of my sentiment onto the twill and used MFT’s new Jumbo Scallop Die-namics along the bottom.  I really liked the look of Joanne‘s layered scalloped print (seen here) so I thought I’d give it a whirl.

I created the turquoise “washer” for my flower center by first punching a 1/2″ circle, then a 3/4″ around the 1/2″ hole.

MFTTMMSINI did the same thing for the flower on the inside but used 1/4″ and 1/2″ punches.

On another note, Barbara and I are this month’s hostesses for MFT’s June Guest Designer Contest.  If you’d like a chance to receive all of our July releases, post previews and hop with us during our July Hop & Shop, you can find all the contest details HERE.

For direct links to more samples highlighting today’s three new release sets, please check out Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. EST.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another preview.  🙂

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

Roughing it up…just a bit

Posted on May 29, 2010 | 2 comments

Hello.  🙂  Time for another challenge with Kraftin’ Kimmie.  This week Krista has asked us to Rough it Up…distress or add texture of some kind to our creations.  I’m afraid I wasn’t all that adventurous this week.  I added just a bit of distressing around my edges.

Love is in the Air

Here I’ve used You Lift Me Up from Kimmie’s Cindy & Mindy collection.  After coloring my image, I die-cut around it, leaving the bears little legs to dangle a bit past the edge.

KKLIITAINOn the inside, I used some of the leftover strips of patterned paper.  I just can’t toss them and it’s the perfect place to put them to good use.
