Happy Monday

I wish it was still the weekend - if it was, I'd be at home making cards instead of at work :)
Here's one I made quickly for a birthday party yesterday, I followed the weekly MFT Sketch Challenge for inspiration. Happy Monday!

Simple Black & White

I kept it really clean and simple for MFT's sketch this week. Partly because I wanted to do something in black and white, partly because my shoulder is still sore so I can't get too elaborate. I'm so glad that I'm back to the challenges after missing a couple of weeks:)

A Star is Born

Here is my card for this week's MFT Sketch - I'm not in love with how it turned out but I do like it. Have you seen the remake with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga? SO GOOD. They both knocked it out of the park. Have a great day :)

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!

Here is my take on both the MFT Color Challenge and the MFT Sketch Challenge. Have you ever played along? Not only are they great for inspiration, but you can win a gift card by entering the MFT Challenges. I have phased out most of my card making supplies from other companies and almost exclusively buy MFT now...their stuff is the BEST.

Country Boys

I have two buddies that LOVE country music, specifically Luke Bryan and Kenny Chesney - I followed the MFT sketch for my cards this week. Have a great day!

Sending Hugs

After a very brief hiatus from Chemo Angels, i'm back - this time as a Senior Angel (their sister program). My senior buddy is an 88 year old woman from Florida. In her card this week I'm including a couple of photos of the dump of snow we got overnight - she should get a chuckle out of that!

A Simple Hello

When I saw MFT's sketch this week, for some reason a black and white card came to mind. I wanted my card to be really simple and I"m happy with how it turned out. You can never go wrong with classic black and white.

Hello There

After a brief hiatus from Chemo Angels, I have a new buddy! They had an abundance of chemo angels waiting for assignments, so this time I have a Senior buddy. Senior Angels is the sister program of Chemo Angels. My buddy is an 88 year old woman in Florida who LOVES cats, so this is the first card I'm sending her. I followed this week's MFT Sketch Challenge of course!

Recipe For Happiness

Just stopping in quickly with my card for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge! Not the best photo as I was pressed for time. Thanks for stopping by!

Card Challenge Fun

I never get tired of following the MFT Card Challenges, here is my card for both the colour & sketch challenges this week. Thanks for stopping by!

A New Puppy!

I had to make a card for a friend who just got a new puppy, so I figured I'd tie it in with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge (I am so addicted to these challenges, and to MFT product it is AMAZING). I really like how the card turned out and I hope my friend does too :)

Clean & Simple Card

This was one of those week's where I really wanted to participate in the MFT Sketch Challenge, but I literally had 15mins to make my card. Sometimes simple turns out ok I guess! This will have to do haha. I love playing along with the sketches, they are so much fun and the layouts are always fantastic.

Happy Camper

It seems all of my cards lately are either dog/cat themed, or camping related:) When I first looked at both the colour and sketch challenges from MFT this week I was kinda perplexed, but I'm really happy with how everything came together. I never would have thought to use these colours together - that's why I love playing along with these challenges so much!

Cats & Dogs

I never get tired of making pet themed cards. MFT's cat/dog stamp sets are by far my favourite. I decided to use them for this week's sketch challenge :)

UPDATE! These cards were actually featured by MFT in their "You've Been Spotted" segment - woohoo! So excited. This is a first for me. Here's the link :)

Balloons and Birthday Wishes

I am slightly (ok, maybe more than slightly) addicted to the MFT Card Challenges. I didn't have exact matches for this week's colour challenge so I used what I had that was closest. I guess this is just a sign that I need to buy more MFT ink pads! If you want to play along in the challenges, check out their blog :) http://www.cardchallenges.com/

Happy Birthday:)

I can't believe my nephew Tyler is turning 17 - it seems like yesterday that he was born. I followed MFT's weekly sketch challenge, and also their Birthday Project (using confetti) challenge. It's hard to see but there are little one and seven confetti pieces in the shaker. Have a great day everyone!

One Martini, Two Martini....

Just a simple card for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge  - I never get tired of the Martini Time set. I love playing along with these challenges so much, it forces me to make a card at least once a week :)

Life Is Tough, But So Are You

Just in the nick of time for MFT's weekly sketch challenge! I decided to incorporate the colour challenge as well, I don't often do that. This card will go to one of my chemo angel buddies <3

Birthday Wishes

I rushed this card so I could make the latest MFT challenges, I'd change a few things if I could but too late haha! I'm sure my niece won't care when she receives it. The stamps and dies are all MFT, the ink is Stampin Up (I'm slowly building my inventory of MFT ink because I want ALL of their gorgeous colours). Have a great day all!

Let's Get Tipsy!

Have I mentioned how much I love MFT product? Hands down, the nicest stuff on the market. I just wish our exchange rate was better so that I could order more often:) This is my card for this week's sketch challenge. It's not exactly what I envisioned, but I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Western Romance and MFTWSC390

I started doing the MFT Sketch Challenges so that I could build up my inventory, but every week it seems I need a card for something....so my inventory is still non-existent! I do love following along with these challenges though! This is my take on #390. I try to always use only MFT product but this week I had to stretch it a little. The wood background and alphabet set are both MFT - I am IN LOVE with this Birdie Brown alphabet!

MFT's Birthday Project

I tried to think a little outside the box for MFT's latest Birthday Project. I stuck with the teddy bear theme, but made a keepsake tin instead of a card for Penelope's birthday. It will be something fun to keep all of her special mementos in:)

Sweet Treats

I am so happy I bought this 'sweet' set from MFT before it retired - I love it SO much. The theme for the birthday challenge is to feature cakes/cupcakes/candles - I figured donuts were close enough. Sent this to my niece for her birthday (with a Tim's gift card of course).

Hey Gullfriend!

Here's my card for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge, it's also my chemo angel mail so it serves a couple of purposes haha. I will never, ever tire of this seagull set. MFT has the BEST designers on the planet, I just love all of the images they create for us card makers...happy Monday folks!
