My Favorite Things is blog hopping today, so if you haven't come here by way of Frances and you'd like to start at the beginning, the place to go is Kim's blog. If you've already been through the hop so far, what do you think of the peeks?
I've put together a little something with Stephanie Fizer's Owls and Blueberries set, which is just too cute for words! I did my coloring with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and stamped a few extra bluebell sprigs to pop up on foam adhesive. The image circle was cut with Nestabilities and layered onto a green shape cut with Labels 3 Nestabilities. I added some punched borders, some ribbon and hardware, and some paper piercing and called it done.
Next is an out-of-the-box creation using the manicure girl from Girls Day In:

I fancified her robe into a dress, drew in a sparkling new diamond and turned her into Girls Day "In"gaged :D Can't you see her sitting there as her friends line up to check out her big ol' rock? I pulled the sentiment from Essential Sentiments (which, incidentally, happens to be in the Bubble Bin this week). "Dreams Come True," another sentiment in that set, would work well, too. The dress is paper pieced, and the rest is colored with a mixture of Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. Her diamond sparkles thanks to some Stardust Stickles. I had a lot of fun with this one!
Ready for some MFT scoop? Here's what you need to know for the rest of the week:

Goodness gracious, Amy! I don't think you know how to make anything but gorgeous! So many of my cards end up being dogs that I don't even show but your work is consistently FABULOUS. The companies you design for don't know how lucky they are to have you showing their products. You rock! ;-)
Two completely different styles of cards, yet equally fabulous!! Love the warmth, texture and colors of the first. And the second is so soft and elegant!! Gorgeous cards Amy!!

The coloring is perfect- thia is just so sweet. 2nd, I love the diamond ring card that just pops out and you and great variety from the yesterday card with the manicure- I didn't even realize it was the same stamp. FABO!
Delightful cards, Amy. I adore the rich texture on the brown card stock. Your work is always par excellence!
Love those little owls!! I also like that you created what you needed by altering the image on the congratualtions card!
These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL cards, Amy! I love your shabby chic style and your ability to put papers and embellies, trims together so flawlessly. You are so inspiring!!!

Your cards are awesome!
These are both amazing! Love those owls!! Too cute! Love the layout and the flourishes on the second with that dazzling diamond on the 2nd card! Gorgeous girl!
gorgeous!!! always gorgeous!! :)
I know I said this already at SCS...but these are both such great cards Amy! Your DT's are so lucky to have you!
Okay, first of all, your owls are absolutely adorable and you rocked the coloring and toling of those bluebells! As you can guess from my blog, green is in my top one of fave colors, and combining it with that yummy brown is genius!!
Secondly, I am in complete awe of the "in"gaged card! The papers you chose are delicious (reminds me of my fave mint chocolate chip icecream, her paperpieced clothing is fantastic (yes I noticed how the 'thicker' parts of the material are appropriately darker than the rest!), the ribbons you chose are absolutely, perfectly divine, and her ring - wowzers!
Two gorgeous cards Amy!!! Love all the details you put on your cards!!
Awesome coloring on those bluberries and I love the papers on the second card. VERY cool idea to add a ring so she's *in*gaged..hee!
Oh these are fantastic designs! I love all the edges and embellies! Those owls are just so cute and the popped up flowers are just perfect!
Have a very happy Mother's Day!!
COMPLETELY amazing!! Love both of them!! The bling is fab!!
