Welcome to this month’s Who’s That Girl VIP hop with My Favorite Things!  If you’ve just popped in here, you might want to go back to the beginning with Kim. 

This month’s Who’s That Girl VIP kit features Winter in the City.  The kit is available for one day only (now through September 22nd at 11:59 PM EST) and includes the following for $39.85:

• Winter in the City WTG
• Glitter
• Let it Snowflake Die-namics die
• Pleated ribbon (four yards of luxurious, satin pleated ribbon, two yards white, two yards silver)
• Noel sentiments mini set FREE – $9 value (Exclusive to VIP.  Will not be offered again!)

You can find the kit HERE.

Also available tonight are the two new à la modes sets you’ve seen previewed over the last two days, Miss You a Latte and Candy Cane Kisses.  You can find those HERE.

Take Time to Enjoy the Season

Before I begin, I’d like to post a little disclaimer.  When looking at this card (with my own eyes), all of the purples are soft and very close matches.  I realize that here they look a bit like a modge podge of pinky purples, light and dark, but that is actually my lack of photographic/technological experience.  I don’t know how to adjust for such wonkiness.

Ok…On the actual Winter in the City stamp, the girl’s hands are emtpy.  Just mittens.  The set comes with the little dog but the bags are from Baby Bump…and the wine bottle is from Meet Me at the Cafe.  (See, that’s how she’s going to enjoy the season because if she’s anything like me, she hates shopping anyway.  But to add in the holiday chaos, a nice glass of wine afterwards makes it all better.)

I paper-pieced the outfits, added tiny Swarovski Crystal Adornments to the light posts and dog collar and layered my ribbon over Creme Crochet Lace.  

I used the new Let It Snowflake Die-namics die-cut as well as the Small Scallops Die-namics border die.  The snowflake die is available with the VIP kit in limited quantities (so shop early!) and then will not be available again until the release on October 6th.

I placed the sentiment on the inside along with two more layered snowflakes.

Your next stop along the hop is with KERRY who I’m sure has something fabulous to share!  🙂

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

Hi everyone!  The My Favorite Things design team is back today with previews of the second new à la modes set to be released tonight.  I love anything that has to do with lattes, or coffee in general so I was very happy to see this set.  I  it.

Perk Up Soon

This is Miss You a Latte.   The set comes with the image I’ve used here plus three cute sentiments. 

I paired my latte girl with one of Basic Grey’s fabulous new lines, Pyrus.  Mmmmm…wonderful patterns, cozy/warm colors.  My paper combo is a little on the wild side for me but I love all the patterns.  The layout is one of my faves (an older SFYTT). 

I couldn’t bear to waste even the smallest pieces of the patterned paper so I used the cut off ends of the blue print strips along the bottom on the inside.  A quick stamp of the latte girl (placed at a bit of an angle) helped to finish it off.

For direct links to more design team samples using this set, please check Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. EST.

I’ll be back tonight at 10 p.m. EST for the WTG VIP Hop!  At that time the kit and two new à la modes sets will be available for purchase!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

That little smiley butt cracks me up (no pun intended).   🙂
