My, oh, my that Flopsey is CUTE!

Hi everyone! I just can't help it, that Flopsey is too cute! I remember at first, I wasn't too crazy about Flopsey, but boy has he grown on me. Here he is reading some of his favorite books in a cozy spot. I made this card following the MFTSC95 on Splitcoast. To make, I cut a scalloped oval from my Sizzix die cut and then stamped Flopsey on the oval. I paper pieced him with some Basic Grey paper, and then paper pieced 3 of the books with the Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday paper. I used more Girl Friday paper for the rest of the card. The bottom strip of paper has been punched with the SU! eyelet border punch. The ribbon is from Making Memories. The sentiment continues inside of the card to read "let you pick up where you left off".

Thanks for stopping by! Off to celebrate Sara's bday!

My Gardening Sunshine

Good evening!  I spent yesterday at an all day crop, and I am just about finished with scrapbooking this Christmas.  I won't mention all the other pictures I have just sitting around waiting to be scrapped, though!

Today I knew I wanted to use my MFT stamps, and pulled out "Can Ya Dig It?" which I paired with the MFTSC71 on Splitcoast.  I paper pieced the girl's dress with some dp from "We R Memory Keepers" Nonsense line which I picked up today at Michael's.  I colored the rest of the image with Copics, and added some inking around the edges with an ink pad and daubers.  I stamped the wheelbarrow image, and then created a mask so I could stamp the flowers to look like they are sitting in there.  I then cut it out and used pop dots to adhere it to give it some dimension.  I used a new EK Success border punch I also picked up today for the border on the orange panel. 

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

Hoppy Birthday!

Hoppy Sunday!  I made this cupcake Flopsey card for my neighbor, who is celebrating a birthday tomorrow. I followed the MFTSC #62 for the layout of my card.  The dp is by Imaginesce again, their "Loves Me" line.  I embossed the red and green layers with my Cuttlebug Hearts embossing folder.  Flopsey was colored in with Copics, his cupcake wrapper was paper pieced, and I added some glitter to the frosting, as well as a rhinestone.  The sentiment is in a Hodgepodge bookplate.  

I think that's all for now, I am returning to the real world tomorrow, since it'll be my first day back from break.  I was talking to a friend earlier and she gave me great advice for that first day back, "Ease into it and give lots of coloring activities!"
