Welcome to the May release with My Favorite Things! If you’ve just happened upon my blog, you may want to go back to the beginning here.   If you’ve just come from Jodi, then you’re right on track.

How…is it going?

Today I’ve used Fred Bear Plays Indian along with Open Zig Zag Border Die-namics.

I used markers to color the bear and pencils to add in the ground.  (I like my card except for all that white space around the feather.  It’s really bugging me, but I didn’t have time to change it.)

On the inside, I completed the sentiment and stamped the little coordinating teepee image.

ALL of the new sets and Die-namics you’ve seen previewed this past week are NOW available (here).  But first I hope you’ll continue on with the hop.  THEN shop.   🙂

Your next stop is with WENDY! 

Thank you SO much for visiting!  Have a great night, and happy shopping!

Hi everyone!  The My Favorite Things team has one last day of previews before the big release tonight at 10 p.m. EST.  

Today is the last day for teaser prizes, so be sure to leave comments as you look around!  You can find direct links to today’s samples HERE on Kim’s blog.  And don’t forget to check out the pre-release party (HERE) tonight from 8-10 p.m. EST for lots of fun, chatter, winners from today’s comments and the announcement of our next Guest Designer!   🙂

Today we’re previewing Clearly Sentimental about Friendship and Girls Rule (WTG).

Be Good to Yourself

I did something a little different with my girl this time. 

I gave her a little stripey top and dotted skirt instead of the dress.  When I inked my stamp for paper-piecing the top, I carefully wiped away the belt line with a baby wipe, creating a longer top piece.

I rolled the ribbon flower onto a big glue dot and added the small flourish,which I cut in half, placing part above the flower, part below.  (The smaller flourishes are MUCH more manageable than the longer ones.  No fights this time.  🙂 )

On the inside I stamped my sentiment and a flourish from the Sassy & Sweet set.

Along the bottom on the front and inside, I used MFT’s Simply Scallops Die-namics die. 

Just to recap:

• Pre-release party HERE tonight from 8-10 p.m. EST.
• All new sets and products available tonight at 10 p.m. EST HERE. 
• Release Hop & Shop beginning at Kim’s blog tonight at 10 p.m.  There will be a prize hidden along the way in the hop so be sure to leave comments as you go!

Thank you so much for visiting!  I’ll see you tonight!
