Out of This World!

Happy Friday, everyone! It's been a busy week of substitute teaching -- three days in the 7th grade, and today I'll be in the 2nd grade! I've really enjoyed it, and it reminds me how much I love and miss teaching. The only problem is that it has really put a dent in my stamping time! Luckily, I found this card I hadn't yet shared with you. I had made it earlier this month for the My Favorite Challenge to "get digital." I used the digi papers (and this adorable Love Machine image) from the Mr. Roboto MFT September Kit.

I gave some color to the image with Copics and a Stardust pen, and I added some brads from the kit to his body. See the little gear in the corner? I used my circle punches to make it. I'm working on a tutorial -- I hope to have it soon! :)

Well, I'm off to spend the day with second graders -- wish me luck! I'm itching to get some stamping done, so hopefully this weekend I'll get busy!

Thank you so much for visiting -- have a fantastic Friday!

The Boo Crew!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Have you heard the news? Today My Favorite Things has released a line of Digital Stamps! Many of your favorite MFT images are now available as digi images -- and there's a brand spankin' new Halloween image by Stephanie Fizer! It's available individually or as part of the Boo Crew Digi Kit! The kit includes the image, sentiment sheet, tag sheet, poem, instructions, and project idea sheet -- all for $5.95! It's perfect for "BOOing" your neighbors and friends! I used the kit to make this "Boo Bucket" and card.

I used the tree from Too Cute to Spook and added some googly eyes to mimic this fun Bo Bunny Boo Crew paper. I stamped the spider border from Ghoulish Label Set around the sentiment before cutting it out. The ribbons are from the Halloween Collection Ribbon Nest.

How cute is this Boo Crew image?!? I colored with Prismacolor Pencils blended with Turpenoid.

The inside of the card has the poem which is included in the kit. It prints out 4 poems per sheet. I stamped the spider from Ghoulish Label Set and machine stitched a web.

Can you tell I had a blast making this project? I can't wait to surprise our neighbors! :)

You have to check out this kit and all the new digi stamps HERE!! So fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I appreciate it so much!

Have a great day! :)

We're experiencing some technical difficulties...

Happy Wednesday! I had planned to share my ATS Challenge card and some photos of the new MFT Kit today, but Blogger won't let me upload any photos. UGH!!! I've tried from my laptop and my home computer, and no luck!! I'll try to edit them in later, but here are the deets for both...

ATS Challenge #62
This week's ATS Challenge is watercoloring. It was a good one for me, because I tend to rely too much on my Copics lately! ;) All of the ATS Wednesday Challenges can be found HERE on the ATS Forum. Lesa should have the new challenge posted soon, and you'll be able to see the DT projects later today on the ATS Blog.

ETA: I finally got it to upload! Here is my card for today's Watercolor Challenge. The paper is from Provo Craft, and the Moon and Stars punch is from EK Success. I watercolored with an Aquapainter and SU! inks. I colored the adhesive star rhinestones with a Copic marker.




MFT September Kit
It's available TODAY! Oh my goodness -- this one is SO cute! Meet Mr. Roboto! The image and the digi papers are just adorable -- I can't wait to play with them! I'll have this month's MFT Kit Challenge for you next Wednesday, so order your kit and play along! :)

Okay, that's all for now! Tomorrow I'll have this week's My Favorite Challenge for you! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great day!

School Shopping

Happy Saturday, everyone! I wanted to show you the fun I'm having with the August MFT Kit. You may know that I'm hosting the new monthly MFT Kit Challenge, where you can get creative with the kits and show us your best stuff! This month's challenge winner will be announced during the September MFT Release Party on September 2 -- and the winner gets September's kit FREE! :)

I saw this Provo Craft paper sitting on my counter, so I thought I'd created a School Shopping tote. I can see it filled with gift cards for someone going off to college, or maybe something for a teacher, too! I just love the look of black and white together! The die cut tote, Gifty Girl stamps, black dotted ribbon, silver brads, and MFT Perfect Paper Panels are all part of the kit.

Can I just tell you how CUTE the baby brads are?? Silver and red brads come with the kit. I used them on the sentiment and on the shopping bags. I paper pieced the dress with some paper from my stash, and I colored with Copics.

I will easily use up the other five totes in the kit -- they're the perfect size for tucking in a small gift or gift cards. What a great way to give gifts to friends, sisters, mothers, nieces... you get the idea. ;)

We're off to Anna's soccer game in a little while. The weather today is going to be cool -- in the low 70's -- I think fall is on the way! :)

Thanks so much for visiting today -- have a great day!
