MFT Release Day…

Posted by Jen | MFT, cards, projects | Wednesday, April 2, 2008

It’s the first Wednesday of the month, which means new stamps sets are coming available from My Favorite Things. YAY!! This month there are 2 new sets, Happy Mother’s Day and Can Ya Dig It? As the title implies, the Mother’s day set is very appropriate for moms on their special day. However, you can cut out the center image and pair it with all sorts of sentiments {MFT’s Simply Said shown}, like I have shown here:

The Can Ya Dig It set was fun to work with. I got my inspiration late in the game, but when I did, I couldn’t stop. I made a Garden Gift Basket filled with handmade stuff, as well as stuff from Target’s $1 Spot {gotta love Target!}.

TCP Tuesdays Are Here…

Posted by Jen | Ellie, Family, The Cat's Pajamas, cards, challenges | Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Welcome to something new and fun!! Alma and the The Cat’s Pajamas‘ girls have started a weekly challenge. How it works:

1. Each a week one of the TCP DT members will host a challenge.
2. The challenges will vary {color, theme, etc.}
3. You will have until Saturday night to complete the challenge.
4. Link your project on that week’s hostess’ challenge announcement.

So, for this week, Toni is the challenge hostess. She has chosen to do a color challenge. The challenge is to use the TCP colors in your project {which can be anything!}. The colors are bright pink, yellow, black and white. You will need to complete you project by the end of Saturday to her post HERE.

You might be asking…

Q: Do I have to use TCP stamps?
A: While TCP stamps are not required, they are encouraged. We want to see what you do with them!

Q: Did I mention prizes?
A: There is going to be a monthly prize. I hope you like to shop!!

If you have any other ??s let me know and I will add them to this list.

Here is my card that I made using these colors. Can you believe it? I used Summer Sun TWO days in a row!!!!! I don’t think that I have even bothered to touch it in the last 6 months…maybe a year!

Grandmama and Papa brought Ellie a chocolate Easter bunny. These are a couple of the shots that I got from her chowing down on some bunny ears. CUTE!!
