Crazy for MFT - CHA ribbon

Hello from Chicago! MFT is here and it's a blast!

Today the MFT Designers are showing their team spirit with an award ribbon made using My Heart Belongs To...

This is an amazing companion set to our First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, that is available exclusively during the CHA Supershow.  

 

Since not all of you are attending, we are excited to offer you the opportunity to earn our CHA-exclusive stamp set, My Heart Belongs To... for FREE!

Here are the details:

• From July 19th, 10pm EST through July 24th, or as long as supplies last
• With an order of $50 or greater, we will include the CHA-exclusive stamp set, My Heart Belongs To..., with your order
• My Heart Belongs To... is available to the first 500 orders over $50 during the promotional period
• Your order must require shipping (digital-only orders will not qualify)

Here's the MFT Spirit badge I made and will be wearing at the Super Show. Wish you all could be here with us! The base of my badge was made with the 1/4" Rosette Die-namics die, then I added a black circle and the elements from the First Place Award Die-namics set. A little bling, a sentiment from the CHA set, and some ribbons and it was done! I wear it proudly!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Holiday Wishes - C4C #64

Happy Saturday! It's Crazy 4 Challenges day!! Today Cindy Haffner is our host again and she's challenging us to use circles on our cards or projects. Easy peasy, right?

This week's challenge is a prize challenge. Our sponsor for this week is Wink Wink Ink, one lucky person will randomly be chose from all the participants and will win $15 of digital stamps from the Wink Wink Ink store.

I guess I'm channeling my inner Silke Ledlow again today :) I love Silke's use of white and I wanted this card to be CAS, so it's got a lot of white. I'm using PTI's Tiny Treats: Christmas and 2010 Christmas Tags sets.

Not much to say about this card. I stamped the Mat Stack image, die cut it, and popped it up on some Pure Poppy saddle stitch ribbon, then I stamped the snowflake, punched it out with a 1 3/4" punch and added a Pure Poppy mat before popping it up on top of the Mat Stack image. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment and added some of Silke's signature silver flat backed pearls as accents, and the whole thing is popped up on the base card on foam tape.

Here's the inside using a sentiment from Inside and Out: Christmas.

Sooooo, NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)

Pictures from CHA

OMGosh! What can I say!!! Yesterday was awesome! I got to meet many of the My Favorite Things' team, including the fabulous Kim, of course!


But first, here's a picture of me and my Color Throwdown team mate, Broni Holcombe:

It was just wonderful to meet her in person--she is the nicest thing ever!!! But I knew that :)

Here's Taylor VanBruggen, her mom, and Broni:


Taylor is just as delightful in person as she is on her blog!!

And, I got the chance to chat with Debbie Olsen at the Papertrey Ink booth:


I'm a *huge* fan of Debbie's vintage style so this was definitely a high point of the show for me!

I'm beat--it's been two busy and fun days, but I'm ready for some relaxation now. I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of My Favorite Things' team!
