Well Read with Wine!


My Oh My!!!! I am SO tickled with myself!!!! :)
Just look at this beauty!!!! I used my BRAND NEW MFT Well Read WTG, it was the VIP stamp set this month and gets released tomorrow night...
I stamped her on a MFT Perfect Paper Panel. I colored her and different finishing ideas in my head while coloring, so I proceeded to use my Yard Sale Treasure, my SU Piercing pad and template and carefully punched and turned and punched and turned the template to create a nailhead couch... now, is that cute or what... so I added some shading for under the couch, was tempted to add some sparkly fluff for those crafters of us that have "sparkly" dust bunnies but I resisted... :) SO I decide, looks good on its own and proceeded to run it through my Cuttlebug using a nestie... Now, these brads are apparently a BIT thicker than the nestie and there was a moment of UH OH! but, NOPE!!! I dont have to buy ANOTHER CB... it didn't break and now those baby brads look like hammered nail heads! LOL Its all good....
OK, so we all know that WTG LOVES her wine and chocolate so I stamped a couple images from Meet Me at the Cafe and Time for the Bubbly stamp sets... color, cut, glaze and glitter...mount on card.
I stamped the sentiment on to a piece of Perfect Paper Panels and dienamic'ed it out. Then dienamic'ed 2 more pieces using SU! Red from 2 years ago...not purely pom but the other yummy red one... anyway... punched 2 holes more baby braddies... then added the wine bottle to the top. Do you see the wine is sloshing to the side... is that TOTALLY COOL OR WHAT???? LOL
I used some DP I found today in my stash while organizing... like Christmas when I clean... and used some MFT Ribbon and the new dienamic chain border over the top of the ribbon in more of the SU! Red stuff... added 3 crystal Bling Adornments from MFT and viola.... The image and sentiment are all mounted onto the card using Jody's FABULOUS POP DOTS!!!! Aint nuttin better I'm here to tell ya!!!!
OK, I am SO happy about this card, I must rustle up some visitors to come to my blog and check it out!!!! :) Thanks for coming over when asked!!!! **wink wink**

Mojo 154-kj


This is for Mojo Monday #154!
I used MME papers, MFT Ribbon, TSG Stamps and tee hee, the LID off of my $1 bin Button stash... made the holes big enough to accept the ribbon and tied it off.
Easy peasy, 10 minute card!
I'm really resisting adding bling to the lower right corner as the sketch doesn't call for it. But now that it's loaded I think I might go back and add them! :)
Thanks for looking!

MFT Jolinne In my Garden


I purchased this ribbon a couple weeks ago on my lunch break while having training at the Range which just happens to be next to a LSS :)
Its wired down the middle which makes it SUPER easy to do that crinkley stuff people are doin on their card without a TON of sticky strips... AND it's PRETTY!!!!!
I used my MFT Jolinne "In My Garden" for the first time too! YAY ME!!!!
The paper is almost the last of the prism paper I bought on clearance about 4 months ago **maybe longer with my memory who knows**
Punched some MS Butterflies out with matching cs and colored Jolinne to match also!
Gee, SO matchy matchy I am today huh? Gotta love it!!!! :)
Thanks for looking... and Hugs!

Kraftin Kimmie #43


Kraftin Kimmie Challenge #43 "Show us your Pearly Whites"
I got the hairbrained idear to make Babette with White EP and then distress ink her... cut her out with nesties and added my MFT Pearls to her. I think this would be a GREAT Masculine card, now I just need to find a sentiment about "How ya doin' Big Boy!" Mae West style... LOL
I actually have become fond of this card, it's different and I LIKE Different... why be like everyone else right? LOL **I see you nodding your head!** wink wink
Thanks for looking and see ya round!!!!!
