Today is the 7th, and that means we (MFT Designers) can now post with the New! Releases. I have some great samples, over the next few days, to share. It is so hard making stuff, then having to sit on it, for over a month-in some cases!
January releases 3 sets. They are Be Mine (mini set used here), Punny Farm and Happy Occasions. The release date will be January 9th! There will also be a cocktail party at the MFT Forum. More on that later.
I don’t know about YOU, but my wallet HURTS with all these fabulous sets being released by all these companies. Worst thing is the releases aren’t over! Still got Paper Trey! I’m sure other’s that my brain can’t wrap around right now.
Also released yesterday was more digi paper by MFT—–> Kiss Collection. I am dying to use mine. I just got it loaded, and have yet to get “my time” to play. We did have a great weekend filled with time with friends. That is always nice.
So for my samples today I chose to use the set I am loving, called Be Mine. I used the MFT sketch challenge for this week-you will see samples by entering a keyword MFTSC12.
It was fun finally doing a challenge.
I LOVE hearts, and I LOVE black 😀 So I was very happy with this.
I think the center black heart just pops! To make sure of that, I colored my Making Memories heart shape tag rim, with a sharpie marker. Attached with terrific tape.
I also used Behind the Scenes, for the stripped panel, instead of a paper layer. Sometimes you don’t have the right paper KWIM? So this was perfect. Plus it’s nice to use stamps for your own pattern creation.
The ribbon is a black satin, that I got a Target for $2.99 for 15yds 😀 It helps make this elegant.
I had fun with these colors and elements, so I went on to make a simple card.
Admittedly, this may just be too plain Jane :C But its still cute right?
I LOVE the hanging heart. Oh well, maybe with some tweaking………….
Let’s just say after 3pm my brain shuts down, and the creative juices run dry. I have made worse-trust me!
So stay tuned…………….I hope to get lots of happy mail this week, and get some off to secret friends.
Thanks for reading.
Till tomorrow.

These cards are “so sweet” Lauren. Great job!
Fab cards Lauren. I just love your style. TFS.
Both cards are really cute! I am really liking the idea of the repeated image and just highlighting one or just the dangling heart embellishments. I like the “plain Jane”. She needs friends too! Only kidding, but rather than calling it plain jane, I would say clean and zen like! There you go!
That first one is absolutely stunning and the 2nd one is in no way shape or form “plain jane”! Love them both. I was flipping through a Papercrafts today (I think that’s the one) at my mom’s and noticed she had some of the pages flagged. I flipped to one of them and she had noted “make this card”. It was one of yours!! She doesn’t know your name or who you are, but see…she likes your stuff, too! I had to run tell her “This is my Friend!!” LOL! Hope you have a super week!
Ewww…these are both lovely, Lauren!! Great job!!
Both are fab Lauren! I like the clean look of both of them!
Adorable Lauren – I just ordered from LAD last night…Nick is gonna kill me with all of this shopping. But c’mon…I have 2 girls…I HAD to get the princess set, and the little ballerina, right? and of course, I have nephews…so the space set was a must too…I have more to order, but need to pace myself, especially with other goodies coming out soon!
I think it’s perfect, love the hanging heart! Doesn’t need anything!
They are BOTH great cards Lauren! Love the sneak peek!
Lauren,
I am really loving both cards. The “plain jane” one is GREAT, in my book. I love a clean look at times, and I think that a man would enjoy it a lot, too.
Love both of those cards Lauren! The second card is fabulous, you know sometimes simple is best!!! I just might have to order that set:)!
Puuuuuuuuuhhhleeazze! There is nothing “plain” about that card! They are both beautiful! I wish I could do such “plain jane” work! 🙂
Great cards! Oh man, no more new releases! Some of the samples I’ve seen with the new MFT sets seem excellent. I’m still tired from the LAD party last night! LOL and I’m so behind on stamping. Sigh…..
Since when are your cards plain jane???? They are both awesome!
Simplicity is precious, leave as is, I like the second best.
Your cards are all awesome..
Lauren,
These two cards with the hearts are both incredible! Nothing Plain Jane about either of them. You are so creative (I don’t buy it when you say you aren’t!!). I’ve just finished reading your entire Disney story and Alexa’s story and am still wiping the tears off my cheeks. Thanks for sharing your story, HUGS!
