Well, as the title of this post says, it’s a hop. The beginning of the hop is HERE on the MFT/Kim’s blog and you should have hopped from Barbara’s blog. When you leave here, you’ll be off to Joanne’s blog, where I am sure she has some stamping sweetness waiting for you! Don’t worry, I’ll be linking her later in this post, too.

Tonight, My Favorite Things released a great new alpha set called Wendy. It’s an uppercase alpha set using the trademark font that MFT is so well known for using in their sets. With Nic’s room as my inspiration, I created this baby boy themed shadowbox…

Love this font!…

One of MY favorite things about this release is the new Rounded Banner Trio…

Here’s a detail shot of my project with this die trio…

ETA: My project also uses the Open Scallop Die-Namic {a must have!}

I know you have a lot to take in along this hop, so get on over to Joanne’s blog for some more MFT greatness!

Even on beautiful summer days there are a few fluffy clouds hanging around {created with MFT Die-Namics and felt}…

Of course, a summer day isn’t complete with fresh green grass {More MFT Die-Namics here!}…

Yesterday was Jolinne’s sneak peek day, but I was busy with some penguins, so I am showing her here today…

This is using the Jolinne set, Friends Forever. I paper pieced her dress to match the pattern paper used on the card…

Inside of card…

Do you love the bracket shape on the front and inside? I do It’s a new die from MFT called The Perfect Bracket Edge that will be released with all the stamp sets and more dies tonight!

Want more samples to check out? Kim will have a list of peekers on her blog by 11am EST. Lots of inspiration to check out!

So, tonight’s the night {cue Black Eyed Peas music here}! The Release Party will be happening HERE on the MFT forum on SCS. The new Guest Designer will be announced during the party and all of the new products will be released at 10pm EST. We’ll be celebrating the release with a late night Blog Hop and Shop. See you then!!

Here’s my take on it using the set, Ship Happens…

Detail shot of the new WAVE die and coloring, …

In all my mommy brain-ness {really, you don’t want me to go into detail!!}, I forgot to blog about some of the great sets that were recently released from The Cat’s Pajamas. Here’s a couple of my projects that I have been inadvertently hiding from you…

And Baby Makes {and Coolvetica alpha} is the super cute set that I used to create this project…

Detail shots of each of the panels…

This card uses the AWESOME birthday set, Forget About the Cake…

I am right or am I right?… This image is SO STINKIN’ CUTE! Ellie was a bumblebee a couple years ago for Halloween so I know this one will be one of my faves forever and ever. I **might** just have to do a scrap page. I paired this image with a couple of the MFT Die-Namics: Jumbo Scallop and Scalloped Scallop.

Wanna see more samples of the new PI’s {Pure Innocence stamps}? Kim will have a list with links on her blog today of all the MFT DT members playing along with this sneak peek.

This stamp set, as well as several others and more new Die-Namics are being released on Wednesday, September 1. We’ll be celebrating with a release party from 8-10pm EST on release day on our forum on SCS. See you there!

PSSST…Don’t forget to leave a little love here and on all the sneak peek blogs to win FREE STAMPS from MFT! Winners announced daily on Kim’s blog.

I realized that the time wasn’t in line with what I said the cut-off was, so everyone that left a comment with a link {there were only a few} after the link system closed I included in the drawing for some fresh from the farm THE GREETING FARM stamps. Thank you again to TGF for their sponsorship!! The winner is…

#16 SWLDEBBIE with THIS fabby creation using last week’s sketch.
…email me {link under my pic to the left} and we will get you all set up with those new stamps!

Are you ready for a fun sketch that has so many possibilities? I hope you go crazeeee for this one…

I mentioned above that I have lots of new goodies to play with, and a good chunk of those goodies are from MY FAVORITE THINGS. There’s a new release coming up on Wednesday and there are some super duper cutie patootie sets coming out. You can check out more sneak peek samples on Kim’s/The MFT blog, where she has a list of all the peekers.

Detail shot…

In this set there are 3 house images. I used 2 of the same side by side and then popped up a different one right in the middle of them. The “Boo Time” paper is also created from one of the sentiments in the set. I love making my own DP from sentiment sets, especially when I can’t find a good place to put one otherwise!

A little more MFT Info…
1. The release party is at the MFT Forum on SCS HERE from 8-10 EST on Wednesday, September 1st.
