I'm Baaaaaaaack....and an MFTeaser!!

Well, I'm back from my mini vacation with the family!!! We got home very late last night and I am just trying to pry my eyes open now and gulp down some much needed coffee!!! We had a wonderful time together and the weather was perfect!!! We drove up to Mackinaw City and then to Munising in the Upper Peninsula one day to take in the Pictured Rocks. It was amazing! Of course we did some shopping on the way up, some site seeing, hiking, picture taking, laughing and it was all wonderful!!! It was some much needed family time away from it all! I'll try to post some pictures later!!

Wow!! I can't believe that I haven't posted in THREE whole days!! I think that's the most I've ever gone without posting something here! Yikes!! My honey didn't think I could do it, that I'd be going through withdrawal!! Well, not quite, but it was very hard!! I did get to pick up some stampin' supplies in my travels though, so that made up for it!!

Today's card is an MFTeaser!!! That's right, it's time for another release from the creative minds at My Favorite Things!!! And this month's release is another big one!! So many fun stamps to play with....I think I have the best 'job' in the world!!

This card was made using a new stamp set called Monster Squad and it is from the new MFT Presents line. This set was designed by a new artist to MFT named Stephanie Fizer! I decided to focus on just the haunted house stamp for this card. I stamped the house on Wausau bright white cardstock and coloured it in using my Copic markers. The designer paper is from SU's hallowe'en papers from last year, which I really like. The card base is a Basic Black square, layered with Lovely Lilac and then the dp. I used some square brads in the corners and then made a little moon from So Saffron for the upper right corner. I sponged around the edge of the moon and stamped the sentiment inside. I just love the font on this sentiment too! I tied some orange ribbon around the middle and pop dotted the house overtop. I added some felt bats to the sky and then put crystal lacquer over the windows to make them shiny and spooky!!!




I can't believe I'm getting into Hallowe'en and it's only the beginning of August but these new MFT stamps are just too much fun!!

Of course we will be having a New Release Cocktail Party to release the new sets on Wednesday, August 6 from 9-11 p.m EST. This month there are FIVE new sets being released and *The Girl Who Wants It All special for the the August Collection, which is one of each set being released, is $65.

Head over to the MFT forum to find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. I'll see you there on Wednesday night!!

Now I'm off to start a zillion loads of laundry and get caught up on a few inky things before I go back to work tomorrow!! Have a stampin' good day!!!
