MFT Wednesday Stamp Club 79

And the streak continues.  Here is my card for this week's sketch done on the day it was released.  I decided to pull out an old MFT Who's That Girl? set called Girls Day In.  My neighbor took some of my cards to a friend of hers who has a boutique and she called and asked me for more.  The boutique caters to women, so I am trying to do some more grown up designs to take over to her.

For this card, I used MME Six By Six paper in Paris & Co.  There is a ton of paper piecing on this card, but I love how it turned out.  The flower, vine, and banners are Die-namics dies.

Hope your holiday was great!  Have a great day!

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club 78

Happy 4th of July!  Since my quest this year is to complete all of the MFT sketches, I made time to complete last week's sketch just in time.  The new sketch will be posted today, so hopefully I will get to play with it since I am off for the holiday.  Here is my card for sketch 78:

I used the Lady Liberty stamp set from Pure Innocence.  It took me forever to find this sentiment.  I knew I had it somewhere and I think I looked at every MFT stamp set I have to find it.  It was with a Who's That Girl set from two Christmases ago, but I finally found it.  The sentiment inside says, "I thank my lucky stars for you."  The DP is from MME-Miss Caroline called Dilly Dally.  I accented it with the Die-namics Star Border.

Enjoy your holiday!

Tuesday Morning Sketches 153

Happy Tuesday!  Today it is time for another great sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor is Meljen Designs.  Here is the sketch.

I loved this sketch, but I hate circle cards, so...I added the circle on top of a square card.  This cute image was a freebie from Meljen Designs.  I thought it was perfect for the day before July 4th.  The circles were cut with Nestabilities.  The stars are cut with Die-namics dies.

That's all for me today!  Have a great July 4th!

**edited to add**  I totally forgot to mention that Tuesday Morning Sketches is pleased to announce four new DT Members.  Please welcome Bonnie,  Debbie, Jessi, and Laura.  Stop by their blogs and leave them some love!

Tuesday Morning Sketches 152

Welcome to another edition of Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This week we have a fabulous sketch by Melissa, as well as a great sponsor called The Paper Garden.  Here is the sketch:

For my card, I used the Paper Garden digi set called Tea Time.  All of the DP is from the MME-Follow Your Heart paper pack called Be Happy.  I tried a new technique I saw online the other day for the flower.  I created the flower from used dryer sheets.  First I cut them out using the Die-namics Pretty Posies die.  Then I added color to them using a sponge and an ink pad.  I added copper Stickles to the ends and let it dry.  They flowers are then stacked and secured with a brad.  It really has a soft, glittery look to it.

Have a great week!  Be sure to check out the goodies posted by the rest of the DT girls and be sure to play along.

MFT Guest DT and Finally Caught Up

It is time again for the MFT Guest Designer challenge.  This month the challenge was a sketch.  Love them!  For mine, I used the MFT-VIP set for this month called Surfer Dude.  I sorted through all of my scraps to put this card together.  Most of the DP is from My Mind's Eye.  In the sketch there was a banner in the upper right corner, I replaced it with the clouds and sun.  I added the swirls to the side because if you have ever spent a windy day at the beach, you know about how much sand blows around and how much you take home with you.

My next card is the last card to complete all of the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketches this year...so far.  This is sketch 68.  I chose to use another MFT-VIP set called Surfer Chick.  The DP is MME-Lime Twist.  The flower was made with the Hibiscus Die-namics die and some scraps from my bin.  I made this for my friend, Sandy, whose birthday is coming up.  She loves to boogie board.

Now that I am caught up with the MFT sketches, I need to get busy working on next month's Tuesday Morning Sketches cards.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

MFTWSC 63, 76 and 77

Three more down and only one to go.  It seems like I make two steps forward and one step back with these sketches.  Hopefully I will be able to get that last one done on Friday since I have to work tomorrow.

My first card is #63.  I used the PI set called Sprinkler Girl.  All of the DP is from MME-Ooh La La for Her paper pack.  The flower and leaves were from my stash since I was in a rush to get this done and did not have time make one.

The next card is from sketch 76.  I used the PI stamp set called Cute-a-tude.  All of the DP is MME-Fine and Dandy paper back called Tickled Pink.

Last up is sketch 77.  This is the sketch for this week.  I used the PI set called Hula Girl.  I chose the Lily Bee-Happily Lost paper pack for this and even managed to make a flower using the Die-namic Hibiscus die.

Enjoy the heat and stay cool!

Tuesday Morning Sketches 151

Hello!  Happy Tuesday!  Welcome to another challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor today is The Beary Scrap.  Here is this week's sketch:

For my card, I used the Taylored Expressions set called Moka Justin.  I paired him with My Mind's Eye paper called Boys Only.  As I was cutting the paper for this, I realized I cut the paper at the wrong angle.  So my card ended up as a mirror image of the sketch.  I added the numbers 17 from the MFT Die-namics set called By the Numbers.
