I wanted to scrap some pics from out recent trip to Walt Disney World in Florida! This month's fabulous sketch was perfect to scrap these pics of my goofy girl, Hannah!

I used Heidi Swapp No Limits 12X12 papers...they were perfect for these pics.

I also stamped the star from the NEW Laina Lamb Designs Document It - Bingo and cut it out with the Circle STAX Die-namics. The stars are cut from blue and red glitter corrugated cardstock with the Star STAX Die-namics and the Stacking Stars Die-namics.

I cut the circle tag from the Lisa Johnson Designs Howdy Frames Die-namics from pattern paper and blue glittery corrugated cardstock, stamped the date with the Laina Lamb Document it - Days and Dates Stamp set with Red Hot Premium Dye Ink.

I stamped randomly around the page with the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs Distressed Background Blocks.

My Favorite Things Stamps...May Release Rewind...MPD - Dandelion Wishes/Dandelion Stems and Toppers

Hello Stampin' friends!  Welcome to Day 2 of the MFT May Release Rewind! Today I am featuring the  NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes,  the NEW Dandelion Stems and Toppers and the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks from the May release that are AVAILABLE NOW in the MFT Boutique!

I made a 12x12 layout and I used this May PageMaps sketch...although I deviated quite a bit and I'm not sure it resembles the sketch now but it was a great starting off point!

So this is my first attempt at a little "Mixed Media"...I just stuck my baby toe in to test the water and I really enjoyed it, of course MFT made it SO easy with Mona's New line and the fun NEW Stencil.  I'm quite happy with how my page turned out too! I used these pretty Bo Bunny Prairie Chic 12x12 papers. The photo is one of my faves of my daughter Hannah while camping at Balsam Lake Provincial Park while hiking the Plantation Trail. I printed the 5X7 in Black and White and matted it on MFT Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock.

I used the NEW Mini Chicken Wire Stencil and Light Modeling Paste to add some dimension and texture here and there. After the modeling paste dried I thought it need a little extra something so I pulled out my Metallic Rub-ons that I've had in my stash for ever...I used the Yellow Gold and rubbed it over the dried Light Modeling Paste...it was the perfect little addition! I also stamped the sentiment from the NEW Laina Lamb Design - Document It - Right on Target Stamp set, stamped on pattern paper cut with the Bracket Tab Die-namics with the NEW Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and tucked it under the edge of the photo.

Here you can see the texture with the Light Modeling Paste applied over the NEW Mini Chicken Wire Stencil. I also added a few corrugated cardboard butterflies cut with the Butterflies Die-namics and painted with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint in Picket Fence. I also added a little Yellow Gold Metallic Rub-ons to the butterflies and randomly around the page.  The butterflies were embellished with Pink lemonade Buttons tied with Hemp Cord. 

I cut the NEW Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics from Linen paper and stamped the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes with Lemon Drop and Kraft Premium Dye Ink and stamped the stems with Factory Green and Gumdrop Green Premium Dye Ink.  The Linen dandelions are layered over a Dainty Doily from the Dainty Doily Duo Die-namics cut from Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock. I cut a tag with the Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics and stamped a sentiment from the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes with the NEW Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and tied it with Hemp Cord bow.

 I also cut the largest Dotted Scallop Border with the NEW Dotted Scallop Border Trio from Linen paper.

I added yet another sweet sentiments from the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes and cut it out with the Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Layers STAX Die-namics. I also used the  NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks with Kraft Premium Dye Ink. I didn't adhere the distressed hexagon Stamp to an acrylic block. I just inked it up and held it in my hand and randomly stamped with it around the page.  I used the Notebook Edge Die-namics to cut the edge of the pattern paper.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my 12X12 page featuring the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes,  Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks and the coordinating Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics.

My Favorite Things Stamp...Teaser Time Day 2...Mini Album Square Scallop STAX Die-namics

Hello stampin' friends! Welcome to MFT May Teasers - Day 2! The new release products will be available at My Favorite Things on May 7th at 10 PM EST. All the Release and prize details are available on MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by I've made another mini album again this month with the fabulous NEW Mini Album Square Scallop STAX Die-namics! I'm loving making mini albums with the NEW Mini Album STAX Die-namics...such a great concept!  So, I wanted to preserve the photos that I have from my daughter's Confirmation last year. I didn't have a lot of pics to work with, so a mini album was the perfect way to preserve the precious memories and the few pics that I have of this special day! I used only MFT  Replenishments Heavyweight card stock for the album...yup, NO pattern paper here and I LOVE it!

I started by cutting 4 pages with the NEW Mini Album Square Scallop STAX Die-namics from thin chipboard and cut the MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock to cover each page, in Red Hot, Steel Grey, Black Licorice and the gorgeous NEW Steel Blue. I also used Sweet Tooth and Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock for matting and die-cutting. I used the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Cheerful Blessings and NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Peaceful Wildflowers and NEW Wildfowers Die-namics to add sentiments and embellishments throughout the album.

To make the pattern on the cardstock I stamped with the beautiful NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, these new stamps by fellow MFT Designer Mona Pendleton and I inked all the edges of the album with Mixed Media Inx in Jasmine. I also used the fabulous NEW Blueprints 3 Die-namics...so many gorgeous elements in this set...including this beautiful flowers Die-namics.

We also have a trending chalkbaord art set called Chalkboard Greetings and it's this month's Triple Scoop...I LOVE this set and had SO much fun making my chalkbaord sign...I cut Black Licorice with the Vertical Greetings Die-namics and stamped with ClearSnap Ghoast White ink and heat embossed with Zing White Embossing powder. I then inked up the stamp again with the White ink and the slightly stamped off the image creating the shadow. I also added a little doodling with a white PrismaColor pencil. The heart is from the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Cheerful Blessings. I added a little bouquet of the Wildfowers with the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Peaceful Wildflowers and Wildflowers Die-namics. I stamped with the NEW MFT Premium Dye Ink in Red Hot and Steel Blue.

Here I used elements from the NEW Blueprints 3 Die-namics (did I say I LOVE these sweet flowers form the Blueprints 3 Die-namics?!) and I also used the Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Layers STAX Die-namics. I adore this sentiment from the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Cheerful Blessings.

I cut the tag from the Blueprints 2 Die-namics and stamped another sweet sentiment from the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Cheerful Blessings...I distressed it a bit with the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks and added another cute flower from the NEW Blueprints 3 Die-namics with a Steel Grey Button.

I think this is my favorite page in the album...Hannah with her friends Emily and Gillian after their Confirmation.  I used the NEW Chalkboard Greetings ( This month's Triple Scoop) and cut the NEW Vertical Frame Die-namics from thin chipboard and covered it with Black Licorice and Red Hot Heavyweight Card Stock.

Here is Hannah with her Sponsor and our good family friend, Amanda. I used the NEW Mini Album Square Scallop STAX to create the scalloped mat using the 'Cut and Re-Cut" technique. I cut the Red Hot Heavweight Card Stock with the Square STAX and then stamped in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink with the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes. It adds a subtle detail but I love the tone on tone affect.

And this is the back cover of the album...I cut the NEW Insert It - 3 X 4 Notepad and stamped it with the LLD Journal It - For the Record.  I also used stamps from the LLD Document It - Off the Chart and LLD Journal It - Graph Paper Notes.

Well, thank you SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my Mini Album with the NEW  Mini Album Square Scallop STAX Die-namics. Please take a few minutes to visit Kim's blog for links to all the MFT Designers who are previewing NEW Stamps and Die-namics today!  Remember, The new release products will be available at My Favorite Things on May 7th at 10 PM EST.
