ahhhhh! loved me some stampy time today. I got two cards done and I'll share one today. I used this week's MFT Wed. stamp club sketch for my card. I have always LOOOOVED that Speech Bubble frame Die-namics. When I saw it as part of the sketch, I couldn't wait to play. I followed the sketch exactly as it was written. Figured that was a smart move since it had been over two weeks since I created anything.
I used the sweet dog from the new Wendy Burns Designs, Best Friends. If we ever got a small dog, I'd want a wiener dog. For now I'll have fun with the stamp form. I colored him up with my copics and pieced he sweet little sweater with the Hey Kids papers.
The sentiment is one of my favorites. Seriously. I say "hot dog" all the time. You'll also notice the embossed diagonals in the background. I used the On the Diagonal stencil with my Vagabond. I really love that you can use them to add embossing details. Simply run it through your die cut machine with an embossing matt.
Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you all a happy new year. I'll be back on the first as part of the Season of Giving Blog Hop. ** spoiler alert** I've got blog candy......and so do hundreds of other bloggers. You won't want to miss it!
Also stop by my friend Heather's blog today. We were both playing along with this challenge. I know she'll have something fabulous.

I played along with this week's Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge with My Favorite Things. I needed a birthday card for my BFF and the new Stylish Friends stamp set was the perfect set for the job.
I stamped her with Ranger Archival ink onto some Mixed Media paper. I water colored her with my Tim Holtz Distress markers. *sigh* I looooove those beauties. The colors are fabulous and they really are so easy to use. SCS recently had a review on them, check it out here.
I used a circle punch to make that cute cut out on the bottom of my panel and added a double row of the trendy arrow border from Mod Borders. I stamped them with the new Steel Grey ink.
I added a touch of pretty to my card with the Scallop Ribbon Border Die-namics. A few enamel dots, navy burlap twine, and lots of distress ink (vintage photo) around my edges and I had this card done.
I also finished off the inside, since my outside sentiment didn't say anything about birthdays. I love the Happy Birthday Die-namcis.
Check out who else has linked up with this week's sketch, AND see the sketch, HERE.
Happy Hump Day! A new Wednesday Sketch will be posted later today from MFT. I used last week's sketch for my card today, WSC138.
I couldn't wait to get this card made. Our soccer family has added a new baby and I am soooo excited to get my baby fix. A family on Ry's soccer team had a baby girl this past weekend and I knew I wanted to incorporate a soccer ball and the Baby Onesie into my design.
I dug through my stash and found this perfect sized ball (from I get a kick out of you-PI) and stamped it onto the pink Baby Onesie. I love this Die-namics. I also added a few words from the coordinating stamp set, Baby Onesie.
I used the tiny tags from Blueprints one, and just moved them to the bottom of my image panel. A pretty pink lemonade button gave it the right touch of girliness. I added a few tone one tone tiny polka dots from Washi Prints.
I added a few polka dots to the background, stamped in Sweet Tooth ink directly to the Smoky Slate cs.
I really like the pink, yellow and grey color combo for a baby girl card. I think it gives it a modern twist.
I stamped the inside, too.
I used the same colors, and added the fun sentiment from Grand Greetings. Babies, really are wonderful news and such sweet blessings.
Have a great day.
