Picture you upon my knee...Just tea for two and two for tea...

Happy Wednesday, folks! I have something fun for you again today...yep, that's right, another blog hop! We're hopping along to bunny trail...ok maybe not, but this cute little guy is new from My Favorite Things, and he is sure close to being my new favorite! If you've just happened upon this post, you might want to start back at Kim's blog so you can see the whole shebang!

I created a cute little tag with this image and sentiment from a new set called Tea for Two. Love love love this set!
I'm thinking I'll give this to a tea loving friend with a nice sampling of herbal teas. I think she'll love it!

Bounce baby out the door...get up and move...

Happy Tuesday morning, folks! I have a fun post for you today, cause the MFT girls are doing a Bling 'Bet Bounce! Doesn't that sound fun? If you've just come here, you'll want to start at Kim's blog and bounce down the end, where you just might win a prize!

I am totally IN LOVE with this new alphabet from My Favorite Things. It will be available to order on Wednesday night at 10 PM Eastern, and for $16 it's a total steal! Today we're bouncin' to give you tons of tips and tricks and ideas for using this set.

I decided to make a thank you card for my project today. Since I don't have a Hot Fix tool yet, I'll show you how I applied my crystals with some tweezers and a handy dandy Quickstik.

When working with a clear alphabet set, you can make sure your word or phrase will fit, lay the letters stamp side down onto your cardstock.

Once you're happy with the placement, press your acrylic block onto the stamps, sticking the back of the stamps to the block. (hmmm...methinks it's time to clean my blocks...)

Now you're ready to ink up your stamps and stamp! I've assembled the tools for my project - Swarovski Crystals, Tweezers, Quickie Glue Pen, & my Quickstik.

Ready to go? Add a bit of glue to the first circle with a Quickie Glue pen. (Sorry for the blurry pic.)

To use the Quickstik, remove the cap and twist the top until the green adhesive starts to push out of the top. Once there's a little TINY bit of adhesive showing, loosen the top to stop the flow of adhesive. Then pick up the crystal with the adhesive.

Next, place your crystal onto the adhesive. Hold the crystal in place with your tweezers and lift the Quickstik away. Make sure before you start that your tweezers are clean and free of adhesive residue (learned that the hard way). Otherwise, when you move the tweezers, the crystal will come with them!

Don't worry if your crystal shifts a little. You can move it back into place with your tweezers.

Once you're finished applying the crystals, you're ready to assemble your card! I made a little card measuring 3 1/2" x 5 3/4." I added a couple of primas and a button, and layered the main panel onto the striped Spring Digi Paper. Do you likey?

I hope you've enjoyed my project today and all the fabulous stuff you've seen so far. Next stop is Janna's Blog where she has something fabulous for you! Enjoy!

I called my momma, she was out for a walk...consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk...

Happy Wednesday, blog friends! I hope your week has been great so far. Today is a fun day...it's a My Favorite Things Blog Hop! If you haven't come to me from Paula's blog, then you need to start at the beginning! {Click here} to get to Kim's Blog, which is where the fun begins. Are you ready? Let's go!

I have the most fun card to share with you today...I had a blast making it! I'm not only showing you a new set called Maid for You, but I'm also showing you some of the new digi-papers available from My Favorite Things! Check it out:

How fun is this?! I have been begging Kim for this image after seeing it on Christy's website, and my wish finally came true! Not only that, but they have cooked up the sassiest sentiments to go with it.

To create this card, I stamped the main image in Brilliance Graphite Black on the Summer Striped paper, then again on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. I colored the image, and then I paper pieced the background to make wallpaper out of the stripes. Liquid Applique was added to the bottom of her skirt for fun. *grin*

The card base is another one of the digi-paper designs in the Summer pack...isn't it the cutest? I wrapped some red grosgrain ribbon around the card base, threaded through a small slit in the main image. Then I added the sentiment at the bottom. Very simple...I wanted the image to be front and center! I hope you like it.

Now it's time to head over to Susan's blog to see more goodies! I know she won't disappoint!

The first is Wind Down, and I created a card and a candle for this one...

And here's a close-up of the card...

Funny enough, the colors I used on the candle are the same as the ones I used to color the image on the card. Weird, huh?

And here's a little shabby chic oval number I created using Scented Geranium:
