Hey girls!!

Time for theMFT Blog Hop!

If you *just* got here check in with KIM first-

If you are hopping along, next you will want to head on over to Michele

I got some stamp time in AND got some videos done 😀 I am trying to get ahead, so if you see me in the SAME outfit just know that YES, I do own other clothes! LOL! I just filmed a few on the same day.

 This time was definitely EASIER! So YEAH!! I’m getting the hang of this now. Now don’t go getting HIGH standards 😀 I just feel I improve each time. I’d LOVE to offer MORE videos each week, so someday it MAY be possible.

I was so inspired by the newest release from MFT called Tea for Two that it inspired my project for today! I hope you like it.

Time for Tea

Today’s video I have to share with you will show you how to take the My Timeless Template-For Keep{sake} and turn it into a PRETTY tea holder, that can be proudly displayed anywhere!

If you want a chance to WIN -just leave me a comment 😀 and if you want to, tell us What drink or item/activity comforts you when you are upset, or sick, had a bad day…….

I LOVE my coffee ♥

OK more photos……..

Top view of the tea in the For Keep{sake} (turned tea) holder.

Here is a close up detail of the ADORABLE little bunnies in the tea cup!

The cup is colored and cut out.

I made the bunnies in the cup 3D as well. The tail is on an additional layer, and had fun flock on it.

Now here is a close up view of the slot that I teach you to easily make, and convert your For Keep{Sake} template into the Tea Box!

Now also note, that you can die cut a scallop square from the large set of square nestablities to give you a nice decorative bottom to your holder 😀

The paper is an OLD SU! pattern. The cardstock I believe is Cranberry Crisp-with the matching ribbon (also SU! but retired).

I just loved how quick and simple this project is 😀 It would be a great treat for someone!

OK now onto the release stuff.

Head over to the MFT forum on www.splitcoaststampers.comto find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. We hope to see you there on Wednesday (tonight).

OK I have lots of loose ends to tie up. My brother’s baby is due ANY day, so I’m “on call”! LOL!

Later!

I LOVE this card 😀

It was made before my mojo went on the fritz! LOL!

The colors are just so cheery to me. Perfect teacher of back to school card.

I am praying for a day of “quiet” while the kids are ALL in school and back to perfect health, so I can get some MOMMY time. Lately I’ve either been ill or running everywhere in creation for everyone.

I know it sounds “selfish” but we ALL need to do something for ourselves. I’m a firm believer in that. When mom is stressed then it takes a toll on everyone!

My motto is “Do something to make yourself happy-everyday!”

Sometimes that is just impossible. I am determined to get ONE day this week to get done everything I need to.

OK onto the card

Creating a “scene” was super easy because I used the elements in 3 Lizzie Anne Designs stamp sets Winter Release with some masking-

The bus/sentiment-Things that go

House and tree-Welcome Home

Girl/books-School Days

I then just drew on my “street” and made some grass. Sponged a sky-and was done!

OK now I need to run. Lots of running around to do.

Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I WILL have a video for the MFT Blog Hop!

Till then

OH boy! Just what I need!!

I cannot send email :C

I thought it was just me, but saw a news report that the Fairpoint takeover of Verizon did NOT go as planned, and many of the customers are experiencing email issues :C

Myself included.

So I will not be able to send anything till this is cleared up. I could just scream right now-you have no idea! LOL!

So if anyone needs to get in touch with me please know I can READ your email but cannot respond back

I guess contact me through www.splitcoaststampers.commy user name is mytime

Or if you belong to a member company of any of the design teams I am on usually there is email through that message board.

This is not my week

Do you want to meet up and stamp with a bunch of talented ladies?

Well what are you doing March 20-21st?
