Monthly Archives: July 2009

Hi everyone!  I have a teaser to share today using one of My Favorite Things new releases, Bubble Bunny, available tomorrow night at 10 p.m.

Pampered Bunny = Hoppy Bunny

I combined a few MFT sets here.  The table is from You Take the Cake, books from Catch Some Rays, wine and grapes from Let’s Picnic and flower from Serenity Now.  (Apparently this bunny will be swigging from the bottle as I forgot to include a glass.)

I used Eclipse Masking Panels to layer my images and a 1/4″ circle punch to create my cucumber slice (which I stacked atop two layered glue dots).

Be sure to join us tomorrow night at 10 p.m. EST for the mid-month release blog hop.  It’s going to be a good one! 🙂

And don’t forget to check out the Bubble Bin.  All sets listed are only $3 EACH (through July 19)!

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

Good morning!  TGIF!  I’m going to be quick again today.  We’re just back from practices and now need to run a few errands.

Coffee Makes me Hoppy

This is I Need Coffee Flopsey by My Favorite Things.  I love Flopsey.  (And I love coffee…and I still need my coffee.  Errand #1.)

See that little smiley face in the ‘o’ in Hoppy?  My daughter did that.  She also cut her own hair this week….because it had syrup in it.  Now I’m pretty sure that would have shampooed out but for some reason that thought never ocurred to her.  She did a pretty choppy job too so guess where else we’re going?  Errand #2.)

Be sure to check out this week’s Bubble Bin.  There’s a lot of cute stuff in there this week and some of it is pretty new! 

You also may want to check out Kathy’s tutorial on how to print MFT’s digi-papers on fabric.  You can find that here.  She has some AMAZING samples for you!

 Ok…we’re off.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!  Not only are we celebrating the birth of our nation today, but this weekend My Favorite Things turns THREE!  (We’ll be celebrating that all month long.)  AND tomorrow is Kim‘s birthday (Miss MFT herself)! 

Happy Birthday

I’m a little late with getting my card in the mail, but this is for Kim…and MFT.  (See, three candles.)  I used one of my first MFT sets, You Take the Cake.  I paper-pieced the girl…because that’s what I like to do 🙂 , the cake was colored and popped up, and I used clear crystals in the centers of some of the flowers.  Beneath the card is a matching envelope I made from two pieces of cardstock and scraps of the patterned paper.   The inside of the card is finished as well and reads “You take the cake.”

So how are we celebrating at MFT?

This weekend ONLY (July 4th and 5th), we are offering a Buy 3, Get 2 FREE promo!

I don’t know how much celebrating we will be doing today as my husband is still sick.  (He’s a little better.)  We’ll see how the day goes.  But for my US friends, have a very safe and FUN Fourth!

Hi everyone!   This week’s spotlight with My Favorite Things is on Glittered Dots and Flowers.

Your Spotlight Savings: 

Glittered Dots and Flowers are 10% off.

Let’s Make Up

This set is Puttin’ on the Glitz, a new release from MFT available tonight.  I used my favorite (of the five) sentiments. 

Eclipse masking panels were used to mask the girl, then the stool before stamping the table and mirror onto one of MFT’s Perfect Panels.  (Copics blend so nicely on this paper!)  I didn’t plan far enough ahead with the cosmetics so they were stamped separately, cut out and adhered to the table.

I used two of the flowers from the Glittered Dots set to add a bit of sparkle to the upper right corner, and the satiny ribbon is from MFT’s Royalty Collection ribbon nest. 

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