MFTeasers....September Releases!!!

I can't believe it's September already, can you?!?! I'm SO looking forward to the cool evenings, wearing comfy sweatshirts, and the gorgeous colors that start showing themselves when the leaves start to change. My hubby added a fire-pit to our back yard this summer, so I'm anxious to sit outside around a nice, warm fire, enjoying the evening and making s'mores. (Hey, any reason for chocolate is good, isn't it?!?!) :-)

This month is a really exciting time for Kim and MFT!! Kim's daughter, Brianna, is launching her very own line of stamps!! Her line is called 'BCDzyns' by My Favorite Things. Brianna's debut set is called 'Hey, Chica!', and includes this adorable gal and some really fun sentiments. (Perfect for those creations for those young, hip girls in your life!) (Do people still say 'hip'?!?! Maybe I AM showing my age!!!)

MFT's September release party is tomorrow (Wednesday) evening! Here are the details:

My Favorite Things will be hosting a New Release Cocktail Party on Wednesday night (SEPT. 3) 9-11pm EST EASTERN time. This month there are SIX new sets being released, plus a new stamp line from MFT: BCDzyns. Stop by the release party to win prizes, see some MFTeasers of the new sets and find out how you can become MFT’s next Guest Designer! Hope to see you there!

The MFT Design Team gals are really crating some gorgeous things this month (but they always do!!) Be sure to check out the other DT members' blogs---I just know you'll love what you see!! (Use the links found on the right side of my blog.)

This little 'Rockstar' frame is a dollar frame that I found at Michael's, and altered with some cute guitar/rock DP that I found. I added a tattoo to her arm (I'd thought it would be cute, then saw that Jody (texasjodylynn) had done it too, so thought I'd give it a try as well.... I don't have any tattoos, so I'll live vicariously through this cutie!!)


This little Halloween creation uses the 'Totally Witchin' set released last month from MFT. (I've got some catching up to do with my DT releases!!) (Hanging head in shame...)
Halloween is one of my VERY favorite holidays---I love the fun, scary part of the holiday (not the evil, macabre part) and all of the bright colors associated with it. This DP is from a K&Company Halloween stack---love the prints and designs!!
Now.....if only I could look this cute in striped stockings and boots!!! (I can dream, can't I???)

The third thing I have to show you today, uses two MFT sets (Nature Calls & What's Your Sign) that were also released last month. Several months ago, I created a tag-card scene with MFT's 'Punny Farm' set, so I thought I'd also give it a try with these two sets. My family and I love to go camping, so I tried to create a scene similar to an area where we spend a lot of time. (If you click on the photo, you should be able to see a larger photo.)


I hope you like what you've seen here today....I'll be back later this evening with some more fun MFTeasers for you to see. Have a wonderful afternoon, everyone!!! (Hugs to you all!!!)

MFT Times Three!

These little trick-or-treaters are one of my all-time favorite images to stamp with! Halloween is my very favorite holiday. I don't get into the macabre, evil part of the holiday, but I do really enjoy the fun, scary part. It's so much fun decorating the house with 'haunting' things, putting pumpkins everywhere, both inside and outside of our house, and getting ready for the little ones to come to our door asking for goodies. My hubby and I have even been known to get dressed in costumes to hand out treats to the kids----all in good fun! Needless to say, making Halloween-themed cards is great fun for me too! Even though the temps are nearing the 100's right now, my mind is already wandering toward the cool, Fall evenings and anxious for the smell of burning leaves.

I have to admit, I've had this set (Hare for the Holidays, by MFT) for quite some time, and have never used this image. When I finally got this DP, I just couldn't resist pairing up the oranges and greens with this little guy. He's such a cutie! This card turned out to be approximately 4.5 inches square---a nice little size for jotting down a quick note just to say 'Hi'. Everything about the card is pretty self-explanatory, I think.


I found this DP and fell in love with the light blue and chocolate swirls. I decided to use my 'Meet Me at the Cafe' set by My Favorite Things, as it has been neglected too much, and was feeling a bit lonely.The awning is propped up on dimensionals on the lower edge, with the upper edge glued down, to give it an angle to make it appear more realistic. These little ladies are having a wonderful afternoon, sitting and catching up on all the things going on in their lives. Oh, if I could only look this good when I go out to meet my friends for lunch!!:-)I created a Ribbon Blossom---again--I guess when I get ribbon in my hands, it's inevitable that I'm going to have add one to my cards. I just can't help myself! I guess everyone has that special 'something' that they just have to put on their creations.....and a Ribbon Blossom is mine.I hope you like this---thanks so much for looking. Have a wonderful day, everyone!!
