Hi everyone!  Welcome to the July release hop with My Favorite Things!  If you’ve just come from Jody, then you’re right on track.  If you’d like to go back to the beginning, you can do that HERE.

I’m sure you’ve already seen all the fun new sets in all the previews, all of the fab new Die-namics die-cuts.  There’s also pretty ruffled ribbon, new colors of felt, buttons, scalloped notecards and more!   All of the new products are available right HERE, right NOW.  But before you shop, I hope you’ll check out the rest of the hop!  Be sure to leave comments along the way because one lucky winner will receive a freebie from MFT!  🙂

Bon Voyage

One of my favorites of the new releases is this Are We There Yet set from the Pure Innocence line.  So sweet! 

I was inspired by my fellow MFT-mate, Lisa, to pull out my scraps of denim.  I thought it would work perfectly for the little tote bag.    I colored and cut out the sunglasses, added a bit of shine with a clear 3-d glaze pen and adhered them atop the girl’s head.  I paper-pieced the shirt, shorts and luggage, and added another tiny brad onto the luggage wheel.

MFT’s Sunshine Die-namics die-cut created a quick sun and I finished off the bottom of my card with the new Jumbo Open Scallop Die-namics border die.

To finish the inside, I used scraps of the patterned paper, stamped a silhouette of the little girl and added the sentiment we here all too often, “Are we there yet?  Are we there yet?”

Your next stop along the hop is with mega-talent JODI COLLINS!  I’m sure she has something stunning to share.  (Everything she creates is stunning.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy hopping… and shopping!  🙂

Hi everyone!  It’s the last day of previews for the July releases with My Favorite Things!  Tonight all the new sets and products will be available at 10 p.m. EST, preceeded by a fun-filled pre-release party from 8-10 p.m. EST and the announcement of our next guest designer!  I can’t wait to hear who it will be!  You can find all of tonight’s happenings right HERE.

Today we’re sharing samples of three new sets, Who’s That Gardening Girl?, Green Thumb (mini sentiment set) and Clearly Sentimental about Gardens. 

She Who Plants a Garden

The sentiment here is from Clearly Sentimental about Gardens.  If you have friends who garden, I think you’ll love this set. 

On the inside of my card, I used a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Birthdays.  I thought the two went well together.

Don’t forget to check Kim’s blog after 11 a.m. EST this morning for direct links to more samples!  And I hope you’ll stop by the pre-release party tonight from 8-10 p.m. EST in the SCS Member Forum.   I’ll be back tonight at 10 p.m. (EST) with MFT’s Release Hop & Shop!  See you then!  🙂
