My Favorite Things VIP Mini Blog Hop!

Did you miss My Favorite Things' VIP kit last month? Well, it's b-a-a-a-a-ck! And earlier than ever! You get to SEE it two weeks before it's released, AND if you're one of the first 45 lucky shoppers, you get to HAVE it in your hot little hands way before anyone else!

So, you ask what it looks like? Well, we're going to show you--all you have to do is HOP! If you didn't get here from the FABULOUS Amy's blog, you really NEED to get on over to Kim's blog 'cause that's where it all begins.

OK, are you back? Good. I really {heart} this WTG! Yeah, yeah, I {heart} them all but this one is especially sweet because I really HATE to vacuum. I mean I REALLY hate to vacuum. So, my sweet husband does all the vacuuming at our house. And, with nine (yeah, 9!) cats, there's a good deal of vacuuming to be done, LOL. I think this will be his birthday card--it's coming up just before Christmas. I know him, and he'll see the humor in it :)

Enough gabbing, here's my card using Maid For WTG.

I thought it was appropriate to use Basic Grey's Boxer 6 x 6 pad for my patterned paper ;-) The fact that there are lots of small prints made for easier paper piecing, too. The entire image is paper pieced, with the exception of a few small areas that are colored with Copic markers, on a Perfect Paper Panel. Here's a shot to hopefully show you the dimension of the layers I used to avoid cutting around all those little legs, etc.

I put some Clear Star Sakura glitter pen on the laptop, the wine glass, and the vacuum handle to add some sparkle to those surfaces.

Then I put the sentiment in this cute little copper frame. It originally had a loop at the top but I snipped that off and just popped it up on 3M foam squares.


Now the deets:
