MFT December DT Blog Hop!

Welcome to the December Release Blog Hop for My Favorite Things. Hopefully you arrived here from Melody's blog. I know she dazzled you with something fabulous. If you just stumbled upon me, I'm delighted you're here but, be sure to go back to Kim's blog and start from the beginning! Also, make sure to leave comments at all blogs involved tonight. There is secret Blog Candy hidden on someone's blog! You want a chance at a prize, right?!!!!
It was hard to decide what to share here tonight, so I saved my favorites for tonight. I hope you like them too! I am head over heals for the Pure Innocence line. I hope soon to see some adorable little boys in the future. For now, I'll keep having fun with the girls.
One great thing about these sets is that you get two different sentiments with each image. I used the Heart Stipes girl along with her "best friends" sentiment. I stamped the girl image twice, side-by-side to make this adorable little girl pair. I picked out the purple pattern paper from the Memory Box, butterfields, paper pack that is included with the Oct. MFT Kit, Thinking of hoooo? for the giant scalloped circle I layered behind the girls. Finished it off with some black perfect plaid ribbon and lace. I know you keep seeing me use it, but that ribbon is truly fabulous, so be sure to add some to your shopping cart if you haven't already!Next up is another one of the sweet girls, this time Fairy Girl. I used a different pattern from the same Memory Box paper pack and kept the earthy feel of it by mounting it on a kraft, Fossil notecard. It's a time saver, the scallops are already there!
Now off you go, Christina is up next!!!! I'm off to see the rest of the the MFT yumminess! It's been fun. See you later! Hgus, Lisa

Right now, you came here to see the final sneak peek and today we are showing off the new WTG (who's that girl) set, Maid for WTG. It's a fun one and every time I see it, I sigh and think...."if only"!
I have a wonderful guy, but he DOES NOT do any of the household chores. He HATES the vacuum. In fact, he hates it so much I always try to do the vacuuming when he is not home. Pathetic, I know, but I am a stay at home mom, so I feel like it is my job to keep the house in order. He puts in long hours at the hospital, and I know how fortunate I am to be able to stay home with the boys. BUT once in a while, it would be nice to get a break from all the chores I do. So I like to call this set, Wishful Thinking! lol! Maybe if I keep sending him cards like this, one day he might get a clue and help out a little.
I had fun piecing this card together with lots of different papers from the Nutmeg mini deck by Cosmo Cricket. See some more wonderful projects made with this set by the rest of the Dec. Temp Team and the regular DT. Kim will have the list up on her blog around 11 am EST! Hugs, Lisa

A New Alphabet!

Welcome to the 4th day of the MFT December release sneak peeks. If this is the first you've seen of them, be sure to scroll through my previous posts and stop by Kim's blog to see who else is sharing the goods!

So, I am a self proclaimed alphabet junkie. I love mixing fonts, sizes of letters, and different letter mediums (paper, chipboard, ink, die cuts...you name 'em I've got them). I was thrilled when I saw this month MFT is adding a new alphabet to their stamp line-Alpha Dots. I used it on a scrapbook page and I can't tell you how excited I am to finally have this page completed. I tried to start it over 2 months ago and I just couldn't make the pictures work on a layout. Once I got this alpha, the whole page just fell into place. It was meant to be, I tell ya! LOL!

My two oldest boys finally played together on a team together last summer. It was so nice to only have 1 practice to go to, and 1 game to see. They loved that T-ball season.
My title is a little play on words. Do you get it? Double Play. They both played on the same team. I thought it was quite clever. The word play in the title was done with the new alpha. The dots fit perfectly with a 3/4 inch circle punch. I stamped them in black on white cs, and the punched them out. I then accented them with a clear epoxy sticker. Here's a close up.

It was a perfect fit! I used old olive cs along with some green, October Afternoon dp from the Night Light line. I thought the design looked just like the fences of a backstop. What do you think?

Be sure to see Kim's blog today around 11 am (est) for the full line up of Alphadot fun. Also, only 1 more day till the release of all these fabulous new sets. Come join the fun in the SCS MFT forum from 8-10 EST!!!! I've got one more day of a sneak peek and then tomorrow night is the MFT Blog Hop! Stay tuned! Hugs, Lisa

Oh, the Truffles I've Seen and a Little Love Machine!

Today you get a two-fer!!! of the MFT sneak peeks. Along with cute little flopsey, it's also time to share the Love Machine robot mini set. So here you go!
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

MFT December Sneak Peeks Begin!!!!

WooooHooooo! If you spent anytime in the MFT forum the past few days you would have seen the announcement. I've had a little secret I've been keeping and the cat's finally out of the bag. I am sooooo excited and totally honored to be part of the the MFT December Temp DT. Kim gives the regular DT off this month, while letting some of the die hard MFT junkies show off the new goodies. Don't worry, the regular DT will be along to share some goodies too, they just get a break if they want one. Today the fun starts and we are show casing the frist set. It's full of lots of chocolaty goodness! It's called Love at First Sight and it is such a fun set, lots of options and uses I can see for this in my future. Today I focused on the yummy chocolate candies. I stamped them and colored with copics, then finished them off with a nice layer of Crystal Effects to make them look real. They shine just like real chocolates. Here's my detailed shot.
Be sure to see the other Temp. Team creations, I'm sure they are fabulous!!! The full list of release activities are listed here in the MFT Forum over at SCS and see who is posting each day by checking in with Kim's blog at 11 am. More fun to come tomorrow! Hugs, Lisa
