Mercy's Sketch Challenge #47

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #47 (MTSC47)

It is time again for one of Mercy's wonderful sketches. I used a Digi Stamp from WhimsieDoodle that you can purchase here. --what a fun muffin this is.

I just couldn't resist layering and poppin' him up, added some glitter and he's good to go, so yummy!!!

I have no idea who makes my paper, it was in my stash, and I thought it would be perfect for my sweet snowman.

Here is a close up so you can see the glitter and how I popped him up. This is always a fun way of making cards pop!!

I can't help showcasing one of the new digital stamps from the "Muffin Tops" line called "Muffin For Christmas". Special thanks to Melyssa for the digital images...I just love these images. Please stop by the store and show them some love! Whimsie Doodles Stamps.

Fresh Farm Friday

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Today's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge is a TWO WEEK CONTEST/GUEST DESIGNER SEARCH brought to you by THE GREETING FARM!

Yep, you heard it right! For the first time ever, The Greeting Farm is having a Guest Designer Search to work specifically with the WONDERFUL Animal images by Marina Neira!
We are looking for someone to work with these adorable critters for our next release through 12/31/09. Are you interested?

Here's how to throw your name into this WILDLY awesome contest:
RULES:

*You MUST use a TGF image by Marina Neira. If you do not own any, there are several digital downloads available through the TGF store. Normally it's not like us to use specific images, but because this is a Guest Designer contest, we want to see what you can do using her stamps.

*For this week's CHALLENGE, you must create a "WILDLIFE" themed card using one of Marina's animals. Whatever that means to you is what you should create! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

*Please Upload your creations by WEDNESDAY, November 11, 2009 at 11:59 PM CST into the TGF Galleria>Contests/Challenges>Farm Fresh Fridays>WILD WEEK 1

*This is a TWO WEEK cumulative contest. Although there WILL NOT be a prize this week, there will be at the end of NEXT week's contest. The chosen Guest Designer will receive ALL THREE images by Marina in rubber, plus all digital images by Marina in addition to the December release they will be working with and will be asked to sign a one-month Guest DT contract with TGF.

We are SO WILD about this contest I can't even tell you! We wish all participants the BEST of luck and can't wait to see YOU out there...WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE!

If you have ANY questions about this contest, please email Jessica. GOOD LUCK to all who enter!

I'm so excited to see what you guys come up with. Here is a direct link for Marina Neira's Stamps. --I used Maggie Bunny and Marlene Monkey on my index cards. My sentiment is from Butterfly Wishes. I like making these little index cards, they showcase a stamp so nicely.

Welcome to a MFT Hop!!

Welcome to Our MFT Blog Hop!!! To start at the beginning of the hop, check out Kim's Blog. --Flopsey is so excited to be making an appearance on this hop.

Flopsey is trimming the tree, getting ready for Santa.

We are very excited to show you our new line up of stamps for November, I think this is one of the biggest releases we have had.

You are going to see lots of awesome new sets, as you are hopping along.

I wanted to show you how I created my tree background. I always leave my die on my image when I color in my background, that way it always leaves a white frame around my shape.

I stamped my tree on Designer Paper and then cut it out and pasted on to my stamped image. My pretty tree topper is some bling I had in my stash.

• Stamps: MFT (Tree Trimming Flopsey)
• INK: Copic Markers
• PAPER: Dp, pink, red, green
• Ribbon, Swarovski Crystal - Spring Collection, spellbinder dies, cuttlebug folders.

I just had to make another card with Flopsey, this is a easel card, my Friend Frances got me started on them and I have to say I really enjoy doing them.

Flopsey added some Swarovski Crystal - Spring Collection to his tree. I also finally found found the Heart Border Punch, at my local Mike's after a year of looking for it.

Now you need to hop on over to Michele Boyer's wonderful blog to see some more MFT Eye Candy!! And don’t forget that somewhere along the hop there is Blog Candy!!!!

All the new sets are up for sale, here is a direct link for your shopping pleasure. Brand Spankin' New!! Have fun!!
