A Cup of Love and a Sketch

Posted on July 3, 2010 | 12 comments

Hi everyone.  Time for another challenge with Kraftin Kimmie.  This week Donna has a fantastic sketch for us.  I (very) often struggle with layouts so when that part is done for me, I’m a happy camper.  You can find the sketch and challenge details here.  Be sure to post a link to your creation on the Krafty blog so you’ll have a chance to win a free stamp from Kraftin Kimmie!

A Cup of Love for You

    KKCOLFY

Here I’ve used Nadine from the Moonlight Whispers collection. She was part of the coffee/tea kit but is now available separately. 

KKCOLFYCUIn place of Nadine’s cookies, I used Gabrielle’s tea cup accessory stamp, then filled the cup with two punched hearts, adding a bit of highlight to each with an opaque white pen.

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

MFT Previews, Day 1

Posted on July 3, 2010 | 19 comments

Hello.  🙂  Today the My Favorite Things team is previewing two new sets, Cruising Cosmo Girl and Banner Day Alpha. 

You Drive Me…

    MFTYDM

This cute set comes with the car, a girl, a stack of luggage and several cute sentiments.   I decided to piece my car using a kind-of-crazy pattern MFTYDMCU2from Cosmo’s Be Loved collection.  The grass and scalloped scallops were made using MFT’s new Die-namics border die-cuts.

In the windshield area, I placed a scrap of acetate so it really does look like a windshield.

MFTYDMINTo see more samples using this set as well as the new alpha set (which fits perfectly into one of the new Die-namics die-cuts (!), please check out Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. EST.
