My Favorite Things, Sketch and Color challenges

Today's card is another combined challenge design for the current sketch and color challenges at My Favorite Things. It's been a while since I have added MFT to my already huge stash of stamps, but recently they have added a new designer who makes adorable little animals and I had to give them a try. You can't really see much of him in this one, but this little hamster is helping out at the lemonade stand and I had to add him to this design. :) Check out the whole stamp set in the final photo.

Cute, cute, cute! 

The sentiment is from an old sentiment set by MFT called You Bake Me Happy. This one is perfect.
Foam tape, baby. I love me some foam tape! Also, me being me, always having to change things up, the pitcher of lemonade was lacking ice, so I had to add some. I cut them from a different stamp in the set.
Colors for this challenge are butterscotch, chantilly cream, kraft, and cotton candy. Coordinating copic colors are Y19, YR30, E43, and R81. The citrus background is a stamp from WPlus9.

Birthdays are coming...lots of birthdays!

March is here and for our family that means birthdays galore! We have 9 for March (one less, since we lost Randy's mom) in both mine and hubs' families. 

But today I'm getting a little ahead of myself as I've been working on this one using Heidi Swapp products for my grandniece, B, whose birthday is April 2. I really used a lot of supplies on this colorful card, and, of course, had to include some interactive elements as well. I think she will love it!


The cake is a stamp by Ellen Hutson; everything else is by Heidi Swapp.

She has been huge into soccer for I think 10 years now, and is quite an impressive player. She is always on a championship team, winning trophies, awards, and even traveling around the country with her team. 


Let me explain this one - yes, she will be just 14, and keys/keychain are typically an embellishment for someone getting their driver's license or a new car etc, but this girl has been driving the family golf cart for years already and knows her way around the dashboard. Hahaha!!! She'll get a kick out of this.

My Favorite Things, Combined challenges

UPDATE: My sweet little mouse won the $50 gift certificate for the sketch challenge! Thank you, My Favorite Things.


For this thank you card, I combined both the current sketch and color challenges. I kept it super simple. 

This adorable mouse is from the Piles of Fun stamp set. 

For the background, I used the Lots of Heart stencil with Tropical Teal ink; both by MFT, and for the sketch design, I used the MFT jumbo fishtail banner dies, an MFT sentiment strip die, and an arch die.
