Sites of the week

Just wanted to share my congratulations and “Welcome Emma” project here today. Megan Lock, MFT DT Member, SFYTT Sister and friend welcomed her lil’ Emma into the world on July 20th. Congratulations!!

When Megan was out here for the North Texas Swap, I asked if I could make a diaper bag tag for her. She gladly said, “yes,” and this is what I came up with for sweet baby E {and not a day to early/late!!}…

The baker’s twine is wrapped over the stitching {yep, I stitched it right to the badge holder plastic} of the eyelet lace…

I packaged it all up in a glassine bag and added some girly details…

Hello MFT fans! You’ve found your way to the middle of the MFT August VIP Blog Hop! If you didn’t start at The MFT/Kim’s blog, or come here from Kerry’s blog, take a moment to rewind and check out what you missed. This month we are featuring the Who’s That Harvest Girl? There are SO many possibilities with this set! I had to go for the strawberries in the basket, but just imagine all the possibilities! There are several more options included with the set, plus the possibilities are endless when you think outside the set, too!

Here’s my card using Who’s That Harvest Girl from My Favorite Things…

Howdy there! It’s TCP Tuesday and this week we are doing it just a little different since it’s also Dare to Get Dirty week over on SCS. Leigh, a Dirty Girl alum, is this week’s Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and she is also hosting a Dare To Get Dirty challenge…and they are one in the same. The sketch is available to view on the challenge thread in the Fan Club Forum HERE. Be sure you also link up your creation on Alma’s/The TCP blog to be eligible for a chance to win some serious CAT CASH!

Did I mention this is a blog hop, too? If you started on Leigh’s blog and came here via Julie’s blog, you are on the right track. If not, hop on back and take a peek at all the goodness that you missed!

Here’s my card using the **JUST RELEASED** Toni’s Tea Set…

This set is a definitely must have! It’s fun to color, paper piece and is a wonderful everyday set! You can see more of what the TCP Design Team did with it HERE in the TCP Gallery. Speaking of **JUST RELEASED**, TCP also release glitter, felt, dies and 7 other sets…OH MY! You can check it all out HERE!

Ok, there’s so much more to see using this sketch, so I will get you on your way! Have fun hopping along to Tracy’s blog!

among other things, right? LOL!

Tonight is the first official PAJAMA PARTY over on The Cat’s Pajamas Member Company Forum on SCS. For the official party, we have an official invite, too. Ok, not really, but I had to put something leading up to this image

Of course I want to whet your appetite a little more for the oh-so-cute images that are coming your way tonight! This first card is one of my faves that I made for THE CAT’s PAJAMAS release and it features the set, Ship Happens {hence the title of this post}…

Hooray for Saturday! Today I’m teaching Copic class at Scrapper’s Boutique. I have a bunch more projects to work on when I get home. I’m all set and excited for a super crafty weekend!

This weekend we have a great sponsor…WILD FLOWER PATCH! They have great stamps, digi stamps and oh-so-cute templates! A HUGE THANK YOU to Wild Flower Patch for this week’s sponsorship!! This week’s winning participant will win 5 digi images of their choice! Yippeeeee!! I just have to publicly say THANKS to Jen at WFP for dealing with my mommy {ahem, super ditzy} brain, which was in FULL force during our communications!! How embarrassing!!

Here’s the sketch for this week…

Here’s my sample using the Pretty In Pink set. I love the look on this lil’ girls face…it is so ELLIE!! I even got Ellie to do the face when I showed her the card…hilarious. I’m thinking that I probably should have snapped a picture of it now!

Designer of the Month, Sandra MacLean, created this cutie patootie sample…

Want more great samples? Check out what the SFYTT Sisters have for you to peek at…you’ll be seeing some more of those cu-ute Wild Flower Patch stamps, too!!
