My Favorite Things...Scrap Sketch # 9...WDW Memories!

Hey Stampin' Friends! Just sharing a page I made with this month's My Favorite Things Stamps... MFTSCRAP Sketch # 9! I went to a Crop with my friends Dana and Jackie. They run a Crop once a month in a church hall. It was my first time attending and I had SO much FUN...what a great group of ladies to scrap with, lots of time spent scrapping, colouring, stamping and chatting...oh and eating :)

Here is the FUN sketch that they have this week...LOVE it!

I scrapped more pics from our last trip to Disney World in April. I used Heidi Swapp No Limits 12X12 paper pad. I LOVE the sketch but not enough layers for me...sorry, I like LOTS of layers so I strayed a bit but I think you can still see the sketch.

I absolutely love this candid shot of Hannah getting an unexpected hug from Pluto during the Parade at Animal Kingdom. I wanted it to be the focal so I used a 4x6 pic and didn't use the Insert It - InstaFrame Die-namics but I added the word Memories with the LLD Accent It - Story Titles.

Kieran pulling his Gaston face at Magic Kingdom in then new Fantasyland... I used the LLD Accent It - Labels and Tabs and I combined two sentiments to create the sentiment I wanted with the  LLD Document It - Bingo Stamp set and the LLD Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set.  I added the stars from the LLD Document It - Rock On Stamp set. I stamped with MFT Premium Dye Ink in Orange Fizz and MFT Premium Dye Ink in Steel Blue.

We're totally addicted to Toy Story Mania ride/game at Hollywood Studios. I snapped this pic of Kieran and Hannah all ready to play...3D glasses and all.  I cut all the LLD Insert It - InstaFrames From MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Sweet Tooth. On this InstaFrame I stamped with the LLD Border It - Mod Borders with MFT Premium Dye Ink in Orange Fizz and layered it with the flag from the LLD Accent It - Labels and Tabs. I stamped "Let's Play" from the LLD Journal It - Playlist.  I also cut a lot of stars for this page with the Star STAX Die-namics and the Stacking Stars Die-namics. I used the fabulous Bottom Line Alphabet Die-namics for the title...WDW.

Hannah has always LOVED Maire from the AristoCats and when she saw Maire she just had to get a pic with her...she had to crouch down she was almost taller than Maire. I stamped this sentiment from the LLD Document It - Off the Chart in Steel Blue Premium Dye In. I sprinkled in a few more stars and enamel dots. I used the LLD Accent It - Labels and Tabs Die-namics and the LLD Document It - Days and Dates to add in the date. Since I was at a Crop I didn't have access to ALL my Die-namics but I really wanted to add in a silver glittery scalloped edge. I had the Double Dots Border Die-namics with me so I cut it in half and tucked it under the edge of the pattern paper...perfect!

Well, thanks for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my page! I'm looking forward to attending the monthly crop again and it's a great chance for me to get scrappy/sketchy with the monthly MFT Scrap Sketch!

Saturated Canary Challenge # 46...Picture Perfect Birthday!

Hey stampin' friends! I made this card for my daughter Hannah's 14th birthday today! I can hardly believe she is 14 years old! We went to the Mandarin for a late lunch and then went bowling...lots of FUN! 

So, I thought I would join the challenge over at the the Saturated Canary Challenge # 46...Summer Fruits...(to use paper with fruit or fruit as inspiration for colour combo). My mom is from Northern Ontario and summer fruits instantly made me think of the stories she tells of her childhood summers spent blueberry picking...nothing like wild blueberries!

So, for my card I used Authentique 6x6 paper pad called Journey and coloured up this cutie, the Tourist, she SO reminds me of my Hannah! I LOVE these pretty flowers from the Blueprints 3 and I added a few Berrylicious Buttons tied with hemp cord. I also added some silvery glittery "flags" cut with the Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namics.

I stamped the sentiment from the PI Birthday Girl Stamps set with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink. I cut the tickets with the little ticket die-namics form Blueprints 3 from MFT Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock. 

Here is the inside...I stamped this sentiment from the PI Little Shutterbug Stamp set. I added another pretty flower with a Berrylicious Button. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at the birthday card that I made for Hannah!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 130!

Hello Stampin' friends! I've been taking a little stampin' and bloggin' break! I wasn't sure my mojo was ever going to come back but I thought if I got sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club then maybe my mojo would reappear...a sketch is always a great way to get the creative juices flowing again!

Here is the fabulous sketch that I used for my card!

I got a great deal on BasicGrey Paper Cottage wood buttons and some Hemptique cord at Winners the other day so I pulled out my Paper Cottage 6x6 paper pad to go with the BG Paper Cottage button. I used the MFT Heirloom Label Die-namics,  the Flower Medley Die-namics and the Solid Bracket Border Die-namics. I matted with MFT Blu Raspberry, Red Hot, Hot Fudge and the gorgeous new Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock. This sentiment from the, Chalkboard Greetings Stamp set, is sound advice that I need to heed myself at the mo :) I also added in a few ink spatters with the the Abstract Art Stamp set and stamped with Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink.

Here is the inside...I used the same layout as the front of the card and used a sentiment from the Lisa Johnson Designs On the Line Sentiment Stamp set...I added a few more ink spatters with the Abstract Art Stamp set and added another pretty flower cut with the Flower Medley Die-namics with another BasicGrey Paper Cottage wood Button tied with Hemptique cord.

Well thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card! Have a great week!

My Favorite Things...June New Product Tour...Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns!

Hi Stampin' friends! YAY!!! It's the time we've all been waiting for...time for the June Release New Product Tour! That means ALL the Brand Spankin' NEW Stamps and Die-namics are now available! But before you run off to fill your shopping cart please join us for the JUNE New Product Tour!

Today I am featuring the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamp set! I also used the fabulous  NEW Blueprints 4 and the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Blissful Butterflies and Blissful Butterflies Die-namics.

I used this pretty Authentique Summer 6x6 paper pad for my Kraft A2 cards and matted with Blue Raspberry, Lemon Drop and Steel Blue Heavyweight Card Stock. On this card I used one of the solid/distressed patterned papers for the Summer pad to make my "washi tape" using the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and then stamped with the NEW Washi Patterns  with Lemon Drop Premium Dye Ink. I also stamped a few pretty butterflies from the NEW LJD - Blissful Butterflies on Smooth White Card Stock with Lemon Drop Premium Dye Ink and cut them out with the NEW LJD - Blissful Butterflies Die-namics. The sentiment is from the NEW LJD Blissful Butterflies, stamped with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye ink on Smooth White Card Stock cut with the tag from Blueprints 2.

Here is the inside...I added a few more strips of the "washi tape" that I made with the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamp set and a few more Blissful Butterflies. The Sentiment is from the NEW Bold Statements Stamp Set (this month's Triple Scoop)...LOVE this new sentiment set!!!

For this card I matted with Lemon Drop Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped a few more Blissful Butterflies in Blue Raspberry, Lemon Drop and Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink. I made more "washi tape" with the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns...this time I cut the washi tape from a blue solid/distressed sheet of patterned paper and used Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. 

One of the fun things you can use the NEW Washi Patterns Stamps for is the "Stamp Kissing technique". With a few of the solid butterfly stamps from the NEW Blissful Buffterflies, I inked the butterfly and then "kissed" the inked-up stamp with a Washi Patterns Stamp and then stamped it on the butterfly die-cut. It gives a subtle pattern to what would have been a solid image. You can see the effect on the Blue Raspberry Butterfly at the top of the card.

Here is the inside...the Sentiment is from the NEW Blissful Butterflies Stamp set, stamped with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and I used the Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics.

And this is my last card in the trio...I used the Hexagon STAX Die-namics and more Blissful Butterflies! I added more fun "washi tape" and used the "Cut and Re-Cut" technique to make the washi tape the size I wanted yet keeping the perfect torn edge the die makes.  The Small Blue Raspberry butterfly was made by "Kissing" the dotted pattern stamp from the NEW Washi Pattern Stamp Set to the inked up butterfly stamp...butterfly kisses :)...sorry, I couldn't resist!

Here is the inside...I stamped a sentiment from the NEW Blissful Butterflies in Blue Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. The small butterfly stamped with Steel Blue Premium Dye ink was "kissed" with the chevron pattern stamp from the NEW Washi Patterns Stamp Set.  

Well, Thanks SO much for stopping by June New Product Tour and having a wee peek at my cards featuring the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamp Set.

My Favorite Things...June Teasers - Day 7 - Insert It- Speech Bubble Frame

Hey stampin' friends! I'm back with two cards for Day 7 of the June Teasers! Today we are featuring the NEW Pure Innocence - On a Picnic, Picnic Basket Die-namics, Max Alphabet, Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame! The new release will be available tonight at My Favorite Things on June 11th at 10 PM EST. All the release and prize details are available on the MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!!

I made this card with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame, the NEW Chalkboard Greetings and the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namics. I used Heidi Swapp Serendipity 6x6 papers...I'm SO loving yellow and grey colour combo...can't seem to get enough of it! I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card stock in Steel Blue, Sno Cone and Banana.

So, I thought I would get with the trend and add a few sequence to these cards. I've had sequence in my stash forever and now they are all the rage...so I pulled them out for this card. I've also seen lots of gold glitter lately but I'm personally more of a silver girl, so I added some silver glitter cardstock while I was it. I cut the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame from the silver glitter cardstock and cut the Insert It - 3x4 Insert Die-namics from Smooth White Card Stock. I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Chalkboard Greetings with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on the 3x4 Insert and adhered the silver speech bubble frame over it. I also used the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder to cut the patterned paper and and silver cardstock to make the cute little angled edge flags. 

Here is the inside...I used just the speech bubble from the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame Die-namics and added a few more angled edge flags.  I stamped a sentiment from the Pearls Of Wisdom Stamp set with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on pattern paper cut with the Jumbo Cloud STAX Die-namics.

Here is my second card, again, I used the Heidi Swapp Serendipity 6x6 papers and MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Steel Blue, Sno Cone and Banana. I used the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame Vertically this time to fit the sentiment from the NEW Chalkboard Greetings.  Again, I  stamped it on Smooth White Card Stock cut it out with the Insert It - 3x4 Insert.

I added a few more sparkly sequence and cut a few more angled edge flags with the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namics...I love it when I come up with little ways to use my Die-namics other than their intended purpose. 

Here is the inside...I stamped the sentiment from the LLD Document It - Off the Chart Stamp set.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card featuring the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame Die-namics! Please swing on over to the MFT Blog for links to all the MFT Designers with teasers today and for all the release and prize details!

I made my card 6x6 and used the Authentique Renew 8x8 paper pad. I matted with MFT Black Licorice, Steel Blue and Sno Cone Heavyweight Card Stock.  The NEW Wendy Burns Designs for MFT have fast become my favorite stamps and I absolutely adore the NEW Wendy Burns Designs - You're So Special to me Stamp set. She is SO much fun to colour! I coloured her with my Copics and again used my Charcoal pencil and a paper stomp to add in some dark shading...(love how hair turned out).  I love the fun sentiment that comes in the NEW WBD - You're So Special To Me Stamp set too. I stamped it in Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White Card Stock cut out with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame. I stamped around the edges of the Speech Bubble with the floral stamps from the NEW You're So Special To Me Stamp Set with Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink.

I also used the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and the Washi Patterns Stamps. I cut one of the more sold papers from the Authentique Renew Paper pad, cut it with the Washi Die-namics, then stamped with the various Washi Pattern Stamps.

Here is a detail shot of the NEW Wendy Burns Designs - You're So Special to Me...she's SO cute!

 I made my card 6x6 and used MME The Sweetest Things Tangerine 6x6 papers. I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Electric Red, Bubblegum and Sno Cone. I inked up the super sweet NEW Doodle Garden Aloha girl and coloured her with my Copics. I also used the fun NEW Palm Tree Die-namics. To add a little more dimension to the palm tree I cut it out  from the thin chipboard and then cut the NEW Palm Tree Die-namics from MFT Hot Fudge, Gumdrop Green, Limeade and Jellybean Green Heavyweight Card Stock. I adhered the large spray of palm leaves, a few individual leaves and the trunk cut from the cardstock to the thin chipboard. 

I'm LOVING the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamps in this release. I cut the washi tape from Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped various patterns from the Washi Patterns Stamp set in Orange Fizz and Red Hot Premium Dye Ink. 

Here is a close up of the tropical NEW Doodle Garden Aloha girl! I just adore her and she was SO much to colour! I stamped one of the sentiments from the NEW DG -Aloha stamp set in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink on Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock and cut it out with one of the little tags from the Blueprints 1 Die-namics.

I finished off the inside, as always :)...I stamped a shadow image of the NEW Doodle Garden Aloha girl in the pretty NEW Bubblegum Premium Dye Ink and stamped another sentiment from the set in Red Hot Premium Dye ink.
