Mehndi Medallion

I stamped just for fun a bit last week, and made a card with

Mehndi Medallion that I actually like! First one ever!

After all the stamping was done, I impressed it with the Linen IP

 and spritzed it with Mister Huey Calico Shine.

Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day!

January SFYTT - #3

I've got one last sample of inspiration for this month's SFYTT, have you played yet?

I colored, cut, and pieced this cutie-pie sheep, and flipped the sketch around to make it fit better.

The sentiment is really two lines, but I masked it and stamped it all in one line.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

And here is MFTWSC55:

I pulled out some OLD Basic Grey patterned paper, I'm really trying to cut into my stash.  And not be worried about using it up, because there will always

be something new to take it's place.

This sentiment is so true - we are so blessed to have great families!  They truly take care of us.

Teacher Gift

Here is part of what my son's teacher received for Christmas from us:

A covered notebook and pen, and a cup with cozy.  The cup is a Food Network one I bought at Kohl's and replaced the rubber grippy thing it came with my own handmade cozy.  Sewing courtesy of my mom :).  I added a couple boxes of green tea and some cards (of course!) to finish the ensemble.

Thanks for stopping by!

I had hoped to be able to post on a more regular schedule, but life is just sucking all my energy and motivation lately.  Here is MFTWSC #54:

Here you can see I clear-embossed some text on the black strip:

MFTWSC #53

We got spoiled so far this winter, in that it hasn't been winter yet here.  Well, that changed this weekend.  We got DUMPED on!  And it was soooo cold.  It didn't stop snowing from Thursday until Sunday morning.  Good grief.  Oh well, we stayed home and ate soup!

And here is the first MFT sketch of the year, #53:

Got me some gift certs for Christmas and got a few new things, yay!

Thanks for stopping by.



SFYTT #2

You may have noticed the format for SFYTT has changed a little this year.  You will see samples posted from half of us on the second Saturday of the month, and samples from the other half the third Saturday of the month, and then we all post again before the end of the month.  So there is lots of SFYTT inspiration for you! 

I love these little guys from our sponsor The Cat's Pajamas, they are so cute, all hand-holdy and stuff!

Here's the January sketch for you again:
