Another MFT Blog Hop!!!




Hidee ho, good stampers!! I'm happy that you're stopping by today and if you are 'just stoppin' by', you might want to start over at The MFT Lady's blog. 'Cause we're havin' a Blog Hop today!!! It's time to release a couple of new stamp sets today!! Woohoooo! Okay. Go on over there. I'll wait here for ya! Go on....I'll wait.


Doot da dooooooooo. La dee daaaaaaaaaaah. Hmmmmmm hmmm hmmmmmmmm.


Are ya back?? Great! Took ya long enough! *giggle* Today I have two cards to show you using the new Paper Doll Sayings stamp set that goes with the Paper Doll stamp set that was released a couple of months ago. SO cute!!

The first card features our Paper Doll in her mermaid attire!! I actually participated in this week's CPS challenge, which was to use any one of the previous 99 sketches, so I chose sketch #27! It went perfectly with the look I wanted for the mermaid. I used the sparkly aqua coloured dp from the Sweet Stack by DCWV and cut a couple of pieces using a wavy template from Creative Memories, to create the 'ocean' for my girl. The other dp is also from the same stack and I love it because the lacey border at the top is part of the dp!




I cut out the doll and the outfit and pop dotted it on the base. I added some sparkly brads in the corners, some satiny pink ribbon across the bottom and these LOVELY new satiny flowers that I attached with a big pearl brad. I finished her off by painting her 'scales' with some Shimmerz!! Not sure if you can see it in the photos, but click on them for a closeup. They are so PURTY!!! And of course, there's the perfect sentiment from the new set that I punched out with my small oval punch.



The second card is made using the ballerina outfit and another fantastic sentiment!! Tutu-riffic....that just kills me! *giggle* I used this week's Sketch Saturday sketch and used some awesome papers and embellishments from the Imaginisce line that I got from The Town Scrapper. I just love the princess-y feel. I made her supah sparkly too by adding some Shimmerz to her floaty dress! Love, love, love those Shimmerz!! Do ya think I like da bling?? Just a bit.



Okey dokey...now your next stop is one of my all-time favourite stampin' artists!! She is SO talented! I wanna be her when I grow up!! I'm so glad she's back with the MFT team! Head on over to Michele Boyer's blog and see what eye candy she has for ya!!! Then when ya finish hoppin', pop on over to the MFT site and pick up the new stamps!! (And maybe some Shimmerz too!!!)
