MFT Teasers Day 2: {u+me=us}

  

Welcome to Day 2 of MFT Teasers! I'm back again today, hanging with the cool girls at MFT with two (more) must-have sets from Laina Lamb Designs: Document It - Off the Chart and Journal It - For the Record. I have completely fallen in.love. with Laina Lamb Design stamp sets and coordinating Die-namics, and today's sets are no exception!

I've once again employed the latest stamping craze, Chalkboard Art, for my card today. I'd seen a fun inspiration piece on either Google images or Pinterest of a green chalkboard and couldn't get the idea out of my head, so what better way to implement my idea inspiration than with Laina's new sets!

I couldn't help but do a little word math, adding up 'you' and 'me' to equal 'us'...it was a no-brainer, folks!

The school theme just kept flowing from there...cork board, notebook paper, doodling, staples, boy/girl border reminiscent of little boys and girls rooms. And, of course, I had to use the new Accent It: Labels & Tabs to 'accent' the LOVE sentiment and point you toward my chalkboard image. Love how these MFT products are gellin' like a felon!

Just like the morning announcements, I feel the need to spill the details about the homecoming dance upcoming release: Ü

MFT WSC #104: Be Mine Forever

Welcome! I'm here with this week's MFT WSC sketch featuring a fun mix of old and new stamps from My Favorite Things. This time around I've used the adorable PI, Honey Bee, and paired her up with this month's Triple Scoop Set, Lovey Dovey Sentiments. Yep, I've gone and done the chalkboard art look (again), and I think it serves our sweet bee very well. Ü

Below is a detail shot of the chalkboard background where I've highlighted a free-hand drawn 'bee line' with piercing. I've also added white and yellow doodles here and there, and then emphasized just how much I love this girl with an additional sentiment stamped onto an arrow from the Die-namics Lead the Way die set.

 I hope you get a chance to play along with this week's sketch, and I look forward to sharing more MFT with you next week in the form of Teasers, as I play along with Team MFT during my spot as Guest Designer! As always, you can check out this week's sketch as well as links to all of the participating designers at the MFT Blog. 

Thanks for stopping over today!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Stopping in with a quick post to show you a card I made up for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #101 using Gift Card Greetings and Document It-December in my new favorite technique, Chalkboard + Subway Art! You can see my first attempt at this fun technique here. I've also incorporated a couple of MFT's Die-namics, At the Movies and Fishtail Flags Stax. Finally, this fun little card with be going to one of two nieces who have December birthdays. They both rock, so I just might have to whip another one of these by the end of the month!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping in for a bit.
