One of my favorite projects to make is gift tags.  They always make a fun, quick project that is a great change of pace.  When I saw this challenge over on the Stamping Bella Blog, I just had to play along.  Tags........Bella's..........I'm in.......

MFT's - Round 2

This month, I had a chance to participate in the MFT monthly challenge and now I am even able to sneak a card in for the weekly challenge as well.  How fun!!

Our son just accepted a engineering co-op but its in a city almost 3 hours away from us.  It's a beautiful city - a place he was hoping to get the opportunity to live at some point, so he is totally psyched about  moving there and we're psyched for him.  He has never rented an apartment before and we certainly are no experts, having lived in homes for the last 25 years, but between the 3 of us, we hoped to figure things out.  Being the weekend, no one was available to show us around (we knew that going there), but we did accomplish a lot and we have a long list we are waiting for call backs on. 

Our son had to get back to school to finish some projects and study for semester exams and we headed back toward home.   We were exhausted!!  We had done a LOT in less than 24 hours.  When we got home, there was tons I could have done around the house but we both just crashed on the sofa to watch a movie.   That gave me the chance to get this MFT done. 

This is the sketch for MFT's this week..... They always have such good ones.

And here is my take on the sketch.   I love these A' La Mode stamps.   So cute and super simple to color.

Here's a close up.

So glad I got the chance to play along!

DCC Challenge - Anything Showing Thanks

Its DCC Wednesday at Repeat Impression - That's the Designer Choice Challenge.   Repeat Impression Rockstar Geri selected the challenge this time around and its a good one.  She has challenged us to create a project that shows "thanks".  With everything going on right now - the storms, the economy, this crazy election and with Thanksgiving just around the corner - its the perfect time to reflect on all the things we are thankful for in our lives. 

Here is my project.....

I love this super cute scarecrow stamp - Scarecrow & Friend - 3309-K and what better way to top it off than this classic "Happy Thanksgiving" verse - 1140-E.  

Here's a closer view of how easy it is to color this image with Copic markers or whatever pens or pencils you might use.

Now is your chance to play along and show your thankfulness.  Just create a project, link it to the Repeat Impressions blog and you will be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions store. See the rules and the deadlines here.   I can't wait to see what you have created. 

I hope you'll play along
