Wow....is all I can say. My friend Deb and I just returned from the Arlington Stamp event and we had a blast meeting so many wonderful people.
I am a bit tired and have about a million things to do so this post is gonna be short! ****I will be sure to post lots of pictures and stuff about the trip this week..so stay tuned.
In the meantime---Here is a MFTeaser featuring the new mini set that will be released by My Favorite Things on Wednesday night (right after the release party on Splitcoast Stampers from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m). Join us for fun, contests, MFTeasers and your chance to be the next My Favorite Guest Designer).
This set is adorable--it is called "Friends Furever." I thought a fun way to showcase the boy hugging his dog was to frame them in a shadow box. (See Shadow box tutorial here.)
I created the shadowbox and cut an extra triangle for the roof. I used my word window punch to create little "shingles" to adhere on top of it.
The images are colored with Prismacolor pencils and Copics.
Materials used: Stamps-Friends Furever (My Favorite Things); Brilliance black ink; Prismacolor pencils; Copics; cardstock-white, caramel, choc chip, olive (Stampin' Up!); brads (Paper Studio); Scor-Pal; Scor-Tape; word window punch (SU!); dimensionals (SU!).
TIME TO CELEBRATE - BLOG CANDY: May marks my one year anniversary as a designer for My Favorite Things stamps. Kim has graciously provided ALL OF THE NEWEST RELEASES (all three of em!) for me to give away! Woohoo! You rock Kim and I am so honored to be on MFT and grateful for your friendship!
Just post a comment on this blog post and let me know one of YOUR FAVORITE THINGS!!! Random.Cara will pick a winner on Thursday morning. As always, subscribers can post twice!
Thanks for stopping by!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 343 of 343this card is adorable--love the shingles! Congrats on your 1 year anniversary designing with MFT...how awesome that Kim is helping you celebrate! One of my favorite things is my daughter's giggle. I'm sure every Mom would agree that when your little peanut starts laughing and giggling, it's just the cutest sound. I've chased Maddie around the house with the video camera just because she thinks it's funny and I want to be able to listen to her laughing like that forever!
One of my favorite things is my copic markers and I still collecting them...
Congrats on your one year anniversary with MFT! My favorite thing is to spend time with my girls. I gotta get all the hugs and kisses I can while they still want me around. They're hitting those pre-teen years. :)
Mia
Your sample is amazing!! One of "mft" is THIN MINT Edy's icecream. It isn't available all year and I am afraid that after I finish the half gallon in my freezer there will be no more until next year. (Luckily I exercise because I eat way too much!!!)

congrats on a year- I love reading your blog- My favorite thing is my family!! My 3.5 year old is my stamping buddy :)
Love your card and one of my favourite things is walks on the beach with a 4 legged friend and the one you love.
One of my most favorite things is to listen to my kids laughing...I mean really laughing, the kind you think you might have an accident kind...that is my most favorite thing.

Who can pick one thing? maybe candy, maybe patterened paper, maybe stamps.....get the idea?
Thanks for sharing.
This is such a cool set. Love all the dog stamps that have come out from MFT. I think one of my favorite things is having vacation days, where I don't have to go anywhere, just do the things I love to do like spending time with the kids, cooking, gardening, and crafting.

Happy Anniversary MFT! I'd have to say one of my favorite things is to have big family gatherings when we (hubby, daughter, and I) go home.

Congratulations on your anniversary.
What a beautiful card! One of my favorite things... the smell of the rain. I just love it! My best friend was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma 11 years ago. She and I had this thing about the smell of the rain. She was stuck in a hot hospital room. It was the beginning of summer in Santa Cruz, CA. She was having a rough day and all of a sudden it started to rain. I called her from work and told her to open her window and sniff!!! SMELL THE RAIN. She has now been in remission for 10 years. And we still love the smell of the rain.
What a great card. Love the roof. Happy anniversary. One of my favorite things is spending time with my grandkids. Besides stamping of course. Wanda
