MFTeaser #1 and other fun things to share....

Hi Everyone! This will be a busy blogging week because both My Favorite Things AND Gina K Designs have their new releases this week! MFT release is on Wednesday and Gina K is on Thursday!

Today I want to share my first MFTeaser with you. This darling image is one from the MFT Presents line and it is called A Scarf for Three (by Stephanie Fizer). I just love this image.

I stamped the image three times (once on white cardstock for the base and two other times on the red and blue cardstock). I pieced different parts of the image and then used my Copics to color some areas.
The little charm and sentiment sticker is from an awesome embellishment kit called Boxes of Bling, which you can also find at My Favorite Things.



Here is a close up of the image. This is one of my favorite color combinations for holiday cards. I just love the red and blue together!




Materials used: Stamps-A Scarf for Three (MFT Presents-Stephanie Fizer); ink- Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic markers; cardstock-riding hood red, blue bayau, whisper white (Stampin' Up!); Boxes of Bling (Pine Cone Press); ribbon (Make it Christmas-Hobby Lobby); white gel pen (Stampin' Up!); paper piercing tool and mat pack (Stampin' Up!); silver cord (Stampin' Up!); Cuttlebug and Snowflake embossing folder (Provocraft); Corner punch (EK Success); dimensionals (SU!).

Join us HERE on Wednesday night, October 1 from 8-10 (Central time) for lots of MFTeasers, challenges and prizes. Come see all the fun new sets (and another MUST have product for all your MFT stamps!) Also, find out how you can become the next MFTGuest Designer. Hope to see you there!

Since it is Monday, it means that it is time for another CCEE challenge again. This week we had to Shape it Up, Baby! Since this was my month for assigning the challenges (insert evil laugh) I had everyone make one of my favorite types of cards---a shaped card. The catch was that we could not make a circle card...we had to get a bit more creative!
You can view all of the marvelous shaped cards on the CCEE Blog. Hope you will play along!

Here is a peek at my card:











Finally, if you get a chance, stop by the Craft Critique blog today. I wrote an article on Kodak EasyShare Software that should be posted at some point!

Hitting the Beach...

Tomorrow morning, I am heading to the NJ beach with my kiddos for a week-long vacation. I can hardly wait. The beach is one of my favorite places to be with my kids and I know we are all going to enjoy it so much.

I will be back next week with a quick card to share (the last of the cards I have to share while on hiatus!)

I will be back working in two weeks so my blog posts will pick up again...thanks so much for hanging in there with me...
