Sites of the week

Happy Saturday SFYTT fans! As you are reading this, I am probably getting ready to or already teaching a couple of Copic classes at my local LSS, Scrapper’s Boutique.

This week’s SFYTT is sponsored by another great company…THE GREETING FARM! Their stamps are so fun and original! One participant from this week’s sketch will win their choice of any 4″x6″ set in stock! THANKS TGF! Be sure to check out their blog as well, it’s chock full o’ ideas and great challenges to play along with!

Here’s this week’s sketch…

Here’s my flipped sample using the oh-so-cute, Dressy Ebony…

Detail shot…

Designer of the Month, Ashley N. Newell, created this fun card by flipping the sketch, too…

Of course THE SFYTT SISTERS have some great inspiration for you to check out, and you’ll be sure to see more of THE GREETING FARM stamps, too!…

Hey girls! If you haven’t heard, there is a new event coming to Texas this fall…

All deets for this awesome event can be found HERE!

Your truly will be teaching a MY FAVORITE THINGS sponsored class that you won’t want to miss! See you there!!

That phrase has a couple meaning around here lately! Haha!

Bottom’s Up is this week’s theme for TCP Tuesday! No need to check your calendars, it is Thursday and I am running a bit behind on getting this challenge done. Better late than never, riiiight. Maybe not, but here it is…

This week’s Hipster Hostess with the Mostess is none other than my friend, Susan. You can check out all the deets for the this week’s challenge on her TCP Tuesday post HERE. If you want to play along, you will be linking your project to The TCP/Alma’s blog for a chance to win some fun money to spend on the TCP site.

A little about my project…
I decided to make a tag that can be added to a tea themed gift at a later date. I popped up the main image {from Toni’s Tea Set} that is stamped on a circle and then paper pierced around the mat circle. The open scallop punch on the top is from Fiskars and I thought it matched the tea/table setting perfectly. Papertrey ribbon tops it all off and I when I attach this to a gift I will just add a piece of silver cording.

Gotta run and attempt to get some stuff done around the house and prep for my Copic classes this weekend!

Are you ready for some more Verve-a-licious-ness? Today myself, along with several of the Verve Divas and Guest Divas are peeking two new sets that are going to be released this Friday, A Happy Hello and Kind Words. Both of these sets have a lot of versatility and can be suited for any style. I can’t believe that I was able to sit down and not only create both of these back to back {thanks for the good nap, Nic!}, but to make them so different from each other. In the past, I have found that once I am in one frame of mind/creativity that is the direction that I will take for awhile.

Here’s the more elegant of the two, using the to-be-released on Friday set, Kind Words…

This next one is a little more “cute-sy” and uses A Happy Hello…


Here are some deets about this Verve release…
1. The Release Party is on Friday, August 20th at 8pm EST on the Verve Forum on SCS
2. You’ll wanna check out THIS THREAD for a chance to win a $25 Verve gift certificate or possibly THE ENTIRE RELEASE!
3. This is the biggest release of the year!!

Excited yet? We are, too! Go on and check out what all these divas have for you…

Psssssst…don’t forget to leave a little love at each stop along the way for a chance to win some Verve stamps!!

It’s time to give you a little teaser of the new a´ la mode from My Favorite Things…Time to Celebrate! <--it IS time to celebrate about it, but that’s the name of the set, too

Several of the MFT Design Team girls have a peek at this fun set for you to check out. You can find a full list on Kim/The MFT blog HERE at 11am EST.

These a´ la mode sets {which are in rubber, don’t forget!} are great to color, but also leave plenty of room to paper piece… and you know I love that! I didn’t end up paper piecing this girl, but I would love to find some great brown and pink papers to do the cake with {or any other cake-ish color combo for that matter!}. You have to check out the framed image that Carole has of one of the a la mode girls HERE…WOW, I’m jealous!

This is just one of two a´ la modes that are being released tonight at 10pm EST, along with the VIP kit that will be including an exclusive mini set that will not be available after this VIP offering.
