{MFT} Butterfly Kisses

Good morning! Let's take a break to do the friday dance! yayayayay! No big plans for me this weekend, I may have to send my family to the beach to get some sun.

I am so excited to be all caught up on my DT work, so do you know what that means? It means I can now play/craft for fun, which is rare. So this week I liked the Sketch over at MFT for their Wednesday Sketch club (MFTSCS126) so I thought I would play along....

 

Today's image is Make a Wish along with the sentiment. The pink preforated strip is a die from the latest Blueprints.  I also used the Scallopped Ribbon Border die .I am bummed, I hadn't picked up Instaframe from MFT yet...so I had to cut my own, but it's definitely going onto my next shopping list. It would be SO MUCH simpler to use.  The papers are from Vintage Bliss by Simple Stories....one of my latest favs. I love the colors in it!!

 

Thanks for stopping by today

 

Hugs,

Tracy

Birthday Yummy....

Good morning. We are now one more day closer to the weekend and I can't wait. Though, it's not really worth all the anticipation as it seems to fly by!  This week I am working through some older cards that I did and never posted. Crazy, huh!

Today I am using one of the Anyas from The Greeting Farm. They are so adorable and they are large images in comparison to others. Larger images are more coloring but easier to color because you have so much area.

Thanks For stopping by today!

Make a Big Wish! {MP}

Good morning. I have a couple of cards that I never got around to posting.  Here is one.  I just love her paper pieced polka dot dress. Super easy way to get out of coloring a large image and it's so simple to do.

 

The image is Bianca with Cake. She is an Uptown Girl by Stamping Bella.  The paper is Fabulous by Simple Stories, one of my favorite paper pads. Love the colors in it. But I don't think they have made a pad that I didn't like!!

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Good morning. It's time for There She Goes AGAIN!  The trendsetters are showcasing some new cards using some older sets. With the end of the school year coming around I thought this was a perfect set to show!

 

I used ConGRADulations. Colored with copics. The scallopped border is an MFT die. The Scallopped oval is a spellbinder. Finished it off with a fishtail sentiment included in the ConGRADulations set along with a button and some Hemp Cord from Markerpop.

{TSG} Spread Your Wings

Good morning!  I hope everybody had a nice weekend. I seem to have a new "norm" around my place of doing nothing! I need a vacation...and soon!!  I did make a bunch of cards over the weekend. I think I am done through the month. Yesterday was so beautiful out it was such a waste to spend it inside but the only other thing I wanted to do, I couldn't do because of my leg, which was go to the beach. Soon, soon! I hope!

This week at There She Goes the challlenge is to Paper Piece.  I used Penelope and Birdcage today and I paper pieced her dress.

I love blue and yellow together.  I also stamped out the birdie and popped it up, which you can not see from the photo.  The layout was super simple as I used the Blueprints die set from MFT.

I hope you can join us this week at There She Goes for our Paper Piecing challenge!
