Happy Friday all!!! It's Friday, It's Friday, It's FRIDAY!!! I tell you I am so excited for this weekend.

My older sister is great and understands that we aren't going to be close forever and takes advantage of us being here. She has taken my boys for the weekend several times now. They love it and it is nice for my husband and I to kinda recharge our batteries. It is a good weekend for us too. My hubby has to test for his rank (a promotion) and next Friday he will test again for the next rank. He is very nervous. So this weekend is good to have the boys gone. Quiet house and plenty of time to study. If you remember please keep him in your prayers next Friday that he does well.

Today I wanted to show you a simple card I made a few days back. I started with some kraft cardstock I had already cut for another card.

My sister told me about the $1 spot at Michael a few weeks back. I took some of the paper I got there to use this card. It really was a 5 minute card but I am very pleased with it.

The pig and "oink" word is from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

MFT card

I was out late getting things done and trying to get some rest before work tonight. I work Thursday night/Friday mornings, don't get any ideas it is legal and way below my educations level hehehe (I am the paper delivery boy :P)

Anyway, Happy Friday!!! It is the weekend and one more day before WCMD wooohooo!!!

I sat down to make something and had no idea what to do. I realized I haven't used my MFT stamps in a LONG time so I went with that. I wanted to use the farm girl and thought she would work for a garden girl as well.

I paper pieced her shirt and pants. The shirt PP is from Joann's and her pants were paper pieced with kraft paper. Have you noticed I have been using a LOT of kraft paper. I am so going to have to buy some more. White just seems too crisp for me right now, I am trying to tone things down.

The ribbon is from a Michael's $1 find, I used versamark ink to stamp the flowers on the top part (red portion). The brown flowers are from Joann's as well (I think hehehe). The brads are Queen & Co.

I think that is about it. Have a great Friday!!! Thanks for stopping by.

MFT

I finally sat down late last night to do some crafting. I had an idea in my head. I actually sat down to do a ATC but just couldn't do it so I came up with this card. I used Lauren's floating card idea.

This card was actually quite easy. What took the most time was coloring the image. I wanted to do some shadowing but I have a LONG way to go.

So, I stamped the image from MFT's Punny Farm on PTI white cardstock and colored with my copic markers. I really liked how the walnut ink went with the last card so I used it as dirt for this card. I didn't mask the image so you might be able to see some on her boots. Lastly I inked the edges of the image with some PTI lavender moon ink.

I cut out a piece of PTI lavender moon cardstock and cut out the center for the image. The "just because" image was stamped from PTI anniversary set in palette brown ink.

The flowers are from a bottle I got from Michael's a few weeks back and the centers are brads from Joann's.

The card base is also PTI white cardstock and the edges were again inked with PTI lavender moon ink. The lavender moon cardstock and main image were attached to the base with dimensional dots.

That is it, easy peasy. Hope you enjoy and have a great Friday!!!

Niece birthday

Yeah, I was actually able to get some more scrapping in last night. I actually did it on purpose so you guys didn't have to wait for another project from me.

So, my youngest niece will be turning one in a few days. Since she lives in Wisconsin I am unable to make it to this great event. But my oldest niece is there so I am sure they are going to have more fun than they would otherwise. I miss them greatly. It will be going on a year since I have been able to see them (I got to go for a few weeks after she was born). But since my brother is getting married next month we all get to see each other then. We are looking forward to it.

Anyway, the card. I had something else planned. I wanted to use some animals and actually planned on making a circus train, but didn't have the right animals to look like they were in a train. So, I was going to use a couple other animals but messed it up so I went with this. The sheep are just darling. I used MFT's Punny Farm sheep and sentiment. I stamped the sheep 3 times, used some white fun flock and then colored his face and ears with my prismacolor pencils. I didn't use OMS or baby oil just straight colored. I realize now that it should have been black, but oh well.

From there I stamped the sentiment underneath in PTI lavender moon ink. Later I realized that a bunch of sheep are not herd's but flocks. Again, she is only one and I hope no one else will call me on it.

I took my white board "1" and inked it up with PTI lavender moon again, heat set it, then stamped the candle (studio g) in palette noir, heat set it again (I am too impatient) then put some glue on the flame and used some yellow embossing powder. Then I just set it all up. I did the same technique as the wedding card but switched the paper, put SU! Kraft underneath the white, used scallop scissors on the kraft paper. Oh yeah, I also used some rub-on stitching on the white cardstock (which is PTI) both underneath and on top. The kraft paper also has some lavender moon ink rubbed along the scallops.

I took my clear glitter pen (can you tell I love that pen hehehe) and traced the sheeps and the sentiment. On the "1" I used some crystal stickles on the dots of the candle and the flame.

After all that I thought it still needed something else and my self-adhesive pearls are still on my desk so I took three more and put them in the top right corner.

I little elegant for a 1 yo I think but I know they are going to love it and so do I. I hope you do as well.

Have a great Tuesday!!!
