I love the contrast of the olive, razzleberry and bermuda bay on this card. The dp is Lemonade by Basic Grey and it has a touch of all those bold colors, but they are balanced and softened by the yellow. So, I'm dying to see the rest of the sneak peeks and what the other new little cuties look like. Stop by Kim's blog around 11 am EST for a complete list of sneak peek bloggers today!

Oh, the Truffles I've Seen and a Little Love Machine!
Here's this month's beloved Flopsey, Truffles Flopsey! Forget chocolate bunnies, how about Flopsey holding some chocolate goodness? He is holding this yummy box of chocolates and there are 4 different sentiments to pair up with him. My favorite is the one I used here. I made him a white bunny with cute pink ears, colored the truffle box with copics and hit it with crystal effects again. I have used crystal effects more in the past 3 weeks than I think I have since I've owned the bottle (ummmm, over 6 years). The ribbon is my fave, Perfect Plaid found in the MFT store. While you're there, get some of the cute, and fun, baby braddies (I used white ones today). They are a perfect accent to any project!
Here's the Love Machine robot. He may look familiar to you and that's because he was only available as part of a MFT Kit, BUT one Dec.2 you can get him separately. He just makes me smile! The sentiment is the best and one my boys and I say often to each other. I made my own little moon with a cuttlebug embossing folder and a circle cutter and used some cute navy June Bug polka dotted dp. I also used the same perfect plaid ribbon, only in pink-see told you I love this stuff. Here I used a ribbon/buttony/bow tag, finished off with a clear Heidi Swapp ghost heart.
Stop by Kim's blog for all the latest MFT release news and the list of bloggers featuring the sneak peek set of the day. She'll have her post up at 11 am EST. All sneak peek sets will be available on Dec.2! Hugs, Lisa

FWF on Black Friday!!!
So, here's my quick FWF card today. I used the cute, {ippity} set, Kissamas & Mistletoe! I used the mistletoe image and it was stamped repeatedly in a circular pattern and cut it all out with my collulzle. Added a scalloped layer behind the berries, a zigzag stitch and finished it off with a button and some twine! Oh, yeah, I colored the berries in with some copics. Want this set, you can order it HERE!!!! and with a $50 order you will get a FREE $15 set of your choice.
That's all the time I've got to day. My parents are still in town and we're off to the Christmas walk in our little town. Happy hopping and happy shopping! See the full list of FWF participants at Angela's blog or HERE on SCS. Check back tomorrow for the first day of MFT sneak peeks. I'm honored to be part of the December Temp. DT!!!!! Hugs, Lisa

Gobble Gobble!!!
I took the sketch pretty literally. Our product focus is pattern paper, so I cut up a bunch of strips from the Nutmeg mini deck by Cosmo Cricket to create the main image panel. Ribbon is the wide, yummy chocolate satin ribbon , the button is from the Lemonade pack, and the sentiment comes from the October Unity Store KOTM. Easy Peasy and pretty stunning with that yummy bow!!!

The sketch for this card was last week's challenge over at SCS. I was in a loopy mood and used my Martha Stewart loopy punch to match the ones in the dp. The buttons, twill, and card base (ocean tides) are all Papertrey.

FWF....post no. 2
Stamp Something-post no.1
I added lots of texture, colored with copics, and made a little snowy mound for them to stand on. Came together rather quickly, I like when that happens. Come back, there's a FWF post up next. Hugs, Lisa

Ippity in the House!
Isn't that sentiment just the cutest? Merry Kissamas....just irresistible. Then there's these sweet little birdies in a bird cage. I love this sentiment, too, because I always use an exaggerated HeeeeellllO! in convo!
and just cause I made one more last night when I first got my box, I'm sharing it here too. I reallly love how this one came together, plus it uses my FAVE set, Devoted.
Enjoy your evening. Check back tomorrow, I've got lots of Friday goodies for you!

Merry and Bright
Oh, I almost forgot to give you my tip on photographing framed pieces. It is so hard to take a photo once the art work is behind the glass, there's just too much glare. So I used a piece of repositional tape (you can make your own for this purpose by tapping regular tape onto your clothing to take some of the stickiness away), folded it into a loop and stuck it to the back of my art work and attached it to the front of the glass. You still capture the look with the frame, just with out the glare.
Hope you all had a great weekend. It's a busy couple days here and I hope I'm feeling better (I've been fighting a sore throat for a few days now-yuck! Sooooo not the time I need to be feeling poopey!). While I have posts scheduled, I will be off line and unplugged for a few days! We are having new carpet laid and the office is one of thee rooms, yeah! but ugh! I hate being unplugged. I'll be back before you know I'm gone, I'm sure.
Hugs, Lisa

Friends With Flair
I was surprised I used this fairy image so soon. Honestly, it was my least favorite image from the whole kit, that is until I saw the perfect paper by Jillibean. I decided it would make for another CAS card and I love the silhouette image. I used that heavenly satin ribbon again, ahhhhhh! There you have it a little bit of Unity goodness. see the full list of FWF participants at Angela's blog or on this thread in the Unity forum.
Looking for some {ippity}? Find it here! I should have lots of samples made up next week, since the stamps are shipping today!!!! Hugs, Lisa

Limelight Six Chicks Day!
I couldn't resist a fun Wintery card, although we've been having amazingly warm Indian Summer weather. It's been awesome, let me tell you. I love this little chipboard snowman from the Cosmo line, Jolly by Golly. The paper and ribbon are all coordinating Jolly by Golly products, too. Sentiment comes from the new Unity November Store KOTM! It was perfect for this little guy.
Come Play along for a chance at a prize:
