My Favorite Things Challenges WINNING ENTRY!

UPDATE: Well, here we go again. Must be my birthday month or something (IT IS! LOL). This card won the sketch challenge this week. :) Thanks so much, My Favorite Things!!

This card fits the current MFT Sketch #543 and Color Challenge #166. I didn't really intend to combine the two challenges, but ended up doing so anyway. LOVE the color combo!! I haven't made a shaker card in quite some time and thought this large element was worthy. Plus I had yummy sequins in the challenge colors.

I love these little strips. They are a set of three and if you don't separate them you can cut all three at once. They are the Little Notes sentiment strip dies (link below). The sentiment is from Sending Smooches, the stamp set that coordinates with the lip balm pouches. 

Copic matches to the color combo.

UPDATE: Well congrats to me! This card won the challenge. :) Thanks so much Honey Bee Stamps!

A most deliciously summery color palette for this challenge. I want a whole bag of popsicles now! 

To go with the yummy color choices, I chose a yummy stamp set called Treat Yo Self. Thank you, I will. 

There is one more image on the inside of the card where I used the blue. I just noticed the only blue on the front is the straw.

For a sick friend

...and I don't mean "sick", like inappropriate (though she is) and I don't mean "sick" as in dope, which she is also, but she's actually sick in the Webster's dictionary sort of way. The kind of sick that puts you in the hospital, which is where she is right now. Thankfully, she isn't sick in the soon to be deceased sort of way either, thus the humorous punch line. So. Anyway, on with the card. 

I made a super cute blonde doctor just in case hers isn't blonde or really cute. You just never know unless you ask, and I didn't. This doc is from the Bedside Manner set by My Favorite Things. Sentiment by Jaded Blossom from For You Boo-Boo sentiment set. 

For the background I used the super adorable Medical Icons stamp set by Jaded Blossom. The "curtain" is a paper by Heidi Swapp.

Another fabulous 3D card design that folds flat for mailing. (This would have folded flatter if it weren't for the accordion folded privacy curtain I added.)

Monkey Business

Monkeys are the cutest. Not that I want one, a real live one, for a pet or anything, but some of the images out there are so stinkin' cute I can't pass them up!! For example, these from the jungle animal set by Hello Bluebird called Word Buddies Jungle. The idea is for these sweet little animals to hold onto large letters in a sentiment, scrapbook page, card, what have you. I chose a different route for my little guys. It was one of the most fun box cards I've made, maybe. Maybe. LOL

Outside the Box Challenge, Just add balloons

Here you go, another box card, my favorite!! and balloons too. What's a celebration without balloons? Well, when my sister and mom and I finally get together again, there will definitely be celebration. And undeniably, mimosas. ;)

I actually used five different stamp sets for this one as they all have balloons that I like to use together whenever I'm doing a card with balloons. 

The big bunch is called Balloon Bundle (just one stamp and die creates the big bunch, which I love). For other balloons, I used all Birdie Brown sets (listed below). 

The pattern papers are My Favorite Things and Simple Stories, Snap.
