Did You See and More To See…
Happy Hump Day! Today is the first day of Ellie’s Wiggles and Tunes class. I am totally looking forward to it! One of her little friends is going to be in there, too. I am going to try to take pics, but it’s a Mommy and Me class, so I’m not sure how that is going to work. LOL!
I guess everyone is liking my sketches! Today I checked the sketch challenge on SCS and there was one of the sketches I did in April. You can see my post HERE. It’s fun to see everyone’s take on it. I hope to get to play again a little later today….Laundry, what laundry!??!
Also, have you picked up the latest Take Ten issue? The “We Challenge You” sketch is also one of my cards/sketches {page 26}. Let me know if you send in a submission to them. I can’t wait to see everyone’s cards in print!!!
As you may know, My Favorite Things is releasing several new stamp sets tonight! Be sure to join us HERE for the release party from 9-11 EST. It is a very exciting release for MFT, as we are presenting a new line of stamps. Here is a message from MFT…
My Favorite Things is pleased and proud to introduce you to our brand-spankin’ new line, My Favorite Things Presents! My Favorite Things Presents opens the door for us to work with new Illustrators and continue to offer images that are “Fresh, Fun and Completely Distinctive!” This spin-off brand will begin by offering images from artist Annie LaPointe, being introduced over the next few months. Other Illustrators, as *need* arises, will be added as we find artists and styles we feel would translate well into the stamp world and as we see a niche we can uniquely fill. My Favorite Things original brand will continue to be drawn by the irreplaceable Christy Beckwith, whose style has so completely captured our hearts.
Here a couple creations using this GORGEOUS new line…
This uses a tray from GLUE. I love how these turn into home decor so quickly and easily!
Here are a couple projects using the Congrats all Around set. I’m such a sucker for baby projects!! The tag was made by taking 2 scallop circle punches and adhering them together after scoring the back piece about 1/2″ in. I used the SU! Word Window punch to create a loop to string the ball/chain thread through.
Up close on the tag…
Here’s the card. I did not finish the inside, but I think that it would make a great shower, new baby or announcement.
Again, I hope that you will join us at the release party tonight! It’s a lot of fun and everyone is welcome. There will be more projects to see, some announcements and a few challenges. Have a great day!!
Your samples today are amazing! I love them all—I have so enjoyed seeing all of the samples this week from the MFT designers. You all make things that make me *NEED* them—-I suppose that is what your are supposed to do, huh? Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!

Hi Jen,
I tried to contact you through e-mail but it was sent back to me with a Permanent Failure message. I was wondering where you got the ball chain thread. I had gotten one at Convention but have not found a source for them.
Thanks,
Robbie
Gorgeous, gorgeous samples, Jen. You really rocked these new sets in a big, big way! That frame piece is to-die-for!
CONGRATS! You do have some really awesome sketches.
