My Favorite Things Countdown, Day 1…

Posted by Jen | projects | Monday, July 30, 2007

We are just around the corner from the FOUR new MFT releases. I have saved my personal favorite for last. This set is called It’s Elemental, although it should be called “It’s Essential” because this will be an essential part of my stamp collection from here on out. When Kim first gave me a peek at this set I jumped…seriously!!

I love everything…the ric rak {is that how you spell that!?!} that comes in 2 sizes in both solid and hollow, the photo corners…which I was an idea I forwarded on to Kim {so, how cool is that!?!?!}, the swirlies…you know they are HOT and all the other elements are just crazy perfect. I sound like I am pitching this set, but this is just how I feel about it. It’s AWESOME!! So, instead of a card or 2 or 3 to show you, I decided to use this set on a work of heart to share with you for this sneakie peekie. My daughter’s name is Ellie and she just turned one. On her first birthday she was baptized {see the pic with the white dress?} and she got to celebrate her birthday TWICE {spoiled rotten, I tell ya!}. On her birthday we were in San Diego and then we came back to Texas we had another {smaller} birthday party for her. Tony and I got her a wagon {see the other pic?} for her birthday. OMG does she love that thing. In fact she screams blue bloody murder when we take her out of it. We have to keep it outside or she would be in it 24 hours a day. At least she likes it! :)

This project was done using heavy weight coasters that are covered in MFT stamped SU! cardstock. I tried to use as many of the It’s Elemental elements as possible and I just love how this turned out. Tony even said it was “bitchin.” Obviously a good thing…especially when not preceded by “Stop…” Speaking of Tony, he’ll be blogging here on Sunday. Be sure to pop on over to say “Hi.”

Tomorrow I have a special MFT giveaway. I hope you’ll come play, because it’s only for a day :) **wink**
