Hello friends! Thanks for stopping by today. I have been having such a blast this month creating with the My Favorite Things Challenge Blog team for my guest spot. 

Here's a look at this week's sketch.

For this week's card, I used the new Beast Friends set. I am really loving these adorable Yeti's! I was inspired by a set of ribbons I purchased from Home Goods this week for my color choice. I used the following cardstock colors from MFT: Berrylicious, Gravel Gray, Cotton Candy.

I love the Split Chevron cover-up. I decided not to take apart the pieces and used the design as my backdrop. Then I layered a circle die from the Pierced Circle Stax   and then cut the Berrylicious strip to ancor my sentiment, the Merry Christmas die. I finished it up with the adorable Yeti image. I added some Stickles to make him look frosty.

If you'd like to create with us this week, head on over to the My Favorite Things Challenge blog to find out how to link up your creation!

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!

Guest Design work for The Girl's Loft

Hello friends! I am so excited to share some work I created for my Guest Design spot for The Girl's Loft. I love The Girl's Paperie collections so when I got my April Jubilee kit in the mail I dove in!

It's a Girl card sentiment from Unity Stamp Co.

 Happily ever after card, sentiments by Unity Stamp Co.

I added some Eyelet Outlet Dove brads to "hold" my banner and some American Crafts Thickers hearts and corner frames

 Here's a fun layout I scrapped of some pics of Miss Erin and I from CHA. I just love this girl!

 And finally a little altered goodie since Mother's Day is just around the corner, May 8th!

I really enjoyed Guest Designing for The Girl's Loft. A huge thanks to Margie for asking me and the fantastic kit!

Have a crafty day!
