Stich it up again?

Okay so here is my second try for MFT'S guest design team challenge for December. This time I cut out 2 green felt pieces using one of my Spellbinder labels and sewed them together to make a bag, then I sewed on wide grossgrain ribbon for the handles, then using 3 different MFT Die-namic dies I cut out all the felt flowers, open scallop edge and decorative doily. Then I used a sentiment from MFT stamped on another Spellbinders label, then I added some pearls and then added a purple grossgrain bow. I made a little container(empty CTMH ribbon round container) and altered it using Cosmo Cricut's Mitten Weather paper, a MS punch, another rolled rose and pearl and the body scrub was stamped from MFT'S Time For The Bubbly ss. I will fill this with homemade brown sugar scrub closer to Christmas and this little set will probably be for my brothers girlfriend! Have a great night, it's almost bedtime here!

Christmas Tea

This card is my entry for the guest designer of the month contest at MFT called stich it up. You need to use stiching on your project. Now I am not real happy with my card, so I am going to try to one-up myself later today-we shall see how that works out. For this card I used paper from K & Company and my lovely little tea party Pure Innocence girl from MFT. I did lots of paper piecing and I hand drew the floor and then did all my coloring with Copics. I stiched around the border of the card and then on the tablecloth-that was not easy! I also used Mft's rolled flower Die-namic die to make the flower out of felt and the leaves from the flower trio die also from MFT. I stuck a pearl on the flower and little ones on my girly girl for earrings. I stamped a little tree from CTMH's Holiday Hoopla ss on my scalloped oval to hopefully resemble a wall hanging.

Heart 2 Heart- A Sketch

Hello, it is Monday again already, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend, I know I did. Daddy got to be home from work for 4 whole days, we got about 6 inches of wonderful fluffy snow perfect for playing in, lots of leftovers and we played lots of UNO. Now it's time to get back to school and work. The challenge this week at H2H Challenges is a sketch challenge, which by the way I love it gives you a great starting point. For my card today I used the wonderful "Mistletoe" paper which I just adore, I also used the Father CHristmas stamp set for the sentiment which I stamped in New England Ivy, then I colored in the berries with a cranberry marker. Now do you notice those lovely red pearls? They are from CTMH, they are our Opaques they just happened to start out white and I colored them. I really wanted red so I just colored them with a red Copic marker while they were still on the carrier sheet and then let them dry. AHHH the perfect solution to make any color you wish, this also works on our clear sparkles as well. That super cute button was made with cranberry cardstock and a button Die-namics die from MFT. I hope you all head on over to H2H and be inspired by the fabulous stuff the design team created this week, then try out the sketch for yourself using mostly CTMH products then link it up on the H2H blog and hey you never know you just might be featured in the next Friday Five.

A SFYTT-HEARTFELT CHRISTMAS

Yay, I finally got to play a little today and decided to do Jen's SFYTT. I really liked the sketch and there is always tons of fabulous inspiration from the design team. For my card I used Eskimo Kisses from Basic Grey-Oh how I heart this paper! I also used CTMH'S Heartfelt Christmas stamp set and stamped the images in Blush then rolled the edges in Prisma glitter. Then I used a MS bunny punch for the little bunnies, I added some bitty sparkles and ribbon from MS.

A Thankful Thanksgiving

I

really strive to be thankful each and every day, but on Thanksgiving it is so nice to celebrate that thankfullness. I am not to chatty today so I thought I would just post a couple pictures from our Thanksgiving at my house. I tried to be all Martha Stewarty but I think I fell a little short, I guess that means I'll have to hone(sp?) my skills practice makes perfect they say! Anyways we had a great day, great food and most importantly we were together, enjoy your weekend!

All Hearts Come Home For Christmas Wall Hanging

As I was unpacking my new packages of cloth napkins for Thanksgiving, I found these awesome heavyduty squares made of- well I don't really know what but whatever it is, it looked cool and very scrapbooky, they measured 6 1/2 x 6 1/2. So I knew right away I wanted to make a wall hanging and I used "Noel" paper from Making Memories and the stamp set is a Pure Innocence stamp from MFT is'nt she purty? I paper pieced her coat,hat,mitten, boots, scarf, and sled and the rest was colored with Copics.. I also put liquid applique on her hat and boots to make them look puffy. Everything is distressed in Vintage Photo Ink from Tim Holts, I added ruby shoes stickles on the Christmas tree, a ZVA crystal flourish and some black sparkles from Recollections. The flower I made with CTMH's Tulip cardstock and I stuck a Fillagree charm in the middle. Next I punched 2 holes in the top with my cropodile and added some black silk ribbon and now a cute little wall hanging.

Heart2Heart-Thank You

Wow sorry for the way late Heart 2 Heart post, this week your challenge is to make a thank you card/item. I made this cute little box/bag using cardstock and Mistletoe paper, I used a new MS punch to make the handle. I used this months fabulous SOTM-A Little Thanks for the sentiment which I cut out and the Heartfelt Christmas set for the reindeer. I used some just blooms flowers, sparkles and a snowflake from a MS punch. Super easy and I plan to give it to a neighbor filled with Christmas cookies as a thank you gift. To join us for this weeks challenge just make a thank you papercraft using mostly CTMH and then link it up on the H2H site and when you are there you can check out the rest of the design teams awesome work!
