MFT May Guest Designer Contest

Hello friends and happy Monday. I'm here to bring you a card that I am entering for the guest designer contest with My Favorite Things. The theme for the contest is BE A TEACHER'S PET.

For my card today I used the Pure Innocence image APPLE FOR YOU. I thought it was the perfect image for this challenge. Nothing like winning points with the teacher with an apple :) I used a couple of their fabulous Die-namics too. The one on the side of my main image panel is the OVAL CHAIN BORDER and the flower is LARGE ROLLED ROSE. You can  find all kinds of stamping goodies at the MFT store. I am also entering this card in to this week's MFT Sketch Challenge MFTWSC69. Here is my card and this week's sketch.

Thanks for stopping by today and I will see you back here on Thursday with this week's Deconstructed Sketch Challenge.

Deconstructed Sketch #46 - Better Late Than Never

Hello and happy Tuesday friends. I did not get a chance to play along with last week's Deconstructed Sketch #46 because I worked all week getting ready for a yard sale I had this past Saturday. Can I jut say .... I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. I want to forget the whole day. I did not make no where near enough money for all the work I put in. 


Anyway, here is my card for last week's wonderful sketch. We have a sponsor, MayzyArt Stamps.  I used their adorable image SEAFOAM, THE HIGH-FASHION MERMAID. Here is my card and the sketch.
