Hello!  MFT has teamed up with Buttons Galore & More to do a Blog Hop showcasing products from both companies!  To see the entire list of participating designers, please head to the MFT Blog.

You'll want to leave a comment on EACH designer's blog because there is $100 in prizes up for grabs.

The deadline to comment is July 29th and the winners of all prizes will be announced on July 30th on the MFT and BG&M blogs, so check back to see if you've won! 



For my card tonight, I used Big Greetings along with some Cherries Jubilee Buttons from Buttons Galore & More.  I started with some Sweet Day 6x6 papers from Echo Park and layered some Kraft cardstock that I cut out with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics, adding the buttons with some Flax Twine.  The layout is Retro Sketches RS#18.


Inside the card, I used another Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics with a sentiment from Complimentary Greetings and then sewed around the edges of the card.

Don't forget to stop on by the MFT Blog for all of the details along with a list of all the designers playing along in tonight's hop.

You can find these fabulous items in the MFT Boutique:

    Your paper colors are subtle, yet the yellow, multi color, and pink really make it cheery. The color choices of your buttons really pop next to the more subtle papers. I like the use of the two solid fish tail ribbon/papers. I like the way in which you arranged the two colors of buttons, and repeated the twine in the button stitch, and around the beige ribbon. The choice of text in your sentiment and the size of text, is perfect. All Simply and nicely done.
