I punched out a variety of circles is different fun colors and really made them pop by attaching them to a black piece of cs. I added some funky, bright ice cream, and a zig zag stitch along with some hip hop lingo with the"here's the scoop" sentiment. Seriously, I don't know much about Hip Hop or it's lingo, I just thought this all worked well together! Wish me luck! I'm still hoping I make it into the finals! Hugs and Happy November!!! Lisa

Hip Hoppin' with MFT!
The dance theme this week for the My Favorite Things, So you think you can stamp contest was Hip Hop-bold, bright, and make it pop! I played with color and came up with this card. I punched out a variety of circles is different fun colors and really made them pop by attaching them to a black piece of cs. I added some funky, bright ice cream, and a zig zag stitch along with some hip hop lingo with the"here's the scoop" sentiment. Seriously, I don't know much about Hip Hop or it's lingo, I just thought this all worked well together! Wish me luck! I'm still hoping I make it into the finals! Hugs and Happy November!!! Lisa

Disco Fever, MFT style!
It's week 2 of the MFT, So you Think You Can Stamp Challenge. This week it was a Disco theme. I have to admit, I love disco music, but then I really like all kinds of music. In college we used to get dressed up and hit this one club on Disco Night. It was always a good time. I'm a huge Donna Summer fan and her song, MacArthur's Park kept ringing in my head. Here's a link , if you're not familiar with it. The lyrics are quite silly, but I just love the music. Here's a bit of the words:
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing is melting down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think I can take it
I don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no....
So there's my inspiration for this challenge. I created the scene with an easy shadow box card (yes, two techniques, two weeks in a row. Patting myself on the back. This was a bit easier than the double slider from last week). I used You Take the Cake and Grow Love to create the park and cake scene. I added the little umbrella from Rainy Day Friends and some raindrops with crystal effects. I went through my stash and found this funky, retro paper by Fancy Pants. I added lots of stickles to make it all glittery, disco was all about the Glam!
This is so different from most things I create, but I really like how it came together. It feels good when you have an image in your head and it turns out just like you envisioned it. Happy Tuesday! hugs, Lisa
