Ready to play?

This week, your My Favorite Challenge is to use three different patterned papers in your creation. The catch… they have to be from three different paper lines. Have a blast playing in your stash to come up with your own unique combination! To show you what I mean.....I've attached an ADORABLE sample from Christina that uses Tea for Two and I attached one of my previews using the new Who's That Grillin' Guy as well as one that I made in February using Who's that Digital Girl.

"Please do NOT "double dip" for the challenges. Here is the general rule of thumb:

If you can win something tangible, then your entry needs to be ONLY for that challenge. Make sense?

So, if you want to participate in the SCS color challenge and then use the MFT sketch? That is totally fine. You can only "win" for the MFT sketch. If you do the One Click Challenge, it can't be combined with the MFT sketch challenge or the My Favorite Challenge since they all have a prize."

Your keyword for this week is: MFTMFC2
Your deadline is Wednesday, June 10,rd at 10:00 AM EST
Winner will be announced on June 11th

If you have any questions, please post them here and someone will help you.

Let the chatting begin!

So, I fell asleep on the couch after the launch party last night. Woke up, posted all these threads and now I'm crawling up to my bed. Although I think every bird in a 5 mile radius is now chirping. SO, I'm hoping I can get back to sleep! Talk to you all tomorrow!

Can't wait to hear what you all bought last night!

[20something]

Congrats to both the winners, your work is awesome!! I can't wait to play in the three different DP's challenge. I already have the sketch done, just have to upload it!!
When you say three different lines, they can all be the same company, right, just different packs?

Yes! Same vendor okay, so long as they aren't from the same collection!

At least my house will be clean!

That really stinks. Doesn't he know you have chatting & stamping to do? So did you ever get back to sleep?

Ugh, I should have stayed on the couch and watched a movie... or tried reading. Sun was coming up, birds were having a blast singing, and my dh rolled over in his sleep and accidentally bumped me *just* as I was falling asleep. I think it was about 6 by the time I finally fell asleep and woke up to my 4 year old jumping on me at 7. But, I suppose that one hour I did get is probably better than being awake since 4:30!!!

I'm still thrilled, of course, but the cramps I have this morning are bringing me down to earth quite a bit...

I'm waiting for meds to kick in and am trying to figure out what to do today. In the next 3 days, I need to clean the house, do laundry, organize craft stuff, CRAFT, and change the knobs on the cabinet.

And as soon as my hubby is back in town (Saturday night), I'm starting a craft-room re-vamp, so I'm trying to think of ways to make that easy on us...

What are YOU up to this morning?

[PickleTree]

Hi everyone! Great challenge and samples, Joanne and Christina!

Congrats to Melody and Neva!!

I made something for this week's challenge: The Poppies Rock!

(Hope it's okay that I peeked it at last night's party!)

[20something]

Hey, I've got a CHA question for everyone who's going and especially for people who have gone in the past... do people bring cards to swap or anything? I don't have many stockpiled because I LOVE to give away everything I make. So it would take a lot of work to come up with a lot by July, but if other people do it, I don't want to be left out!

I was thinking of maybe making some "calling card" type things with all my info on it for people I meet.... I dunno...

This was absolutely one of my favorite cards from the release! I love it!

I'm hoping to get time to play this week. It's a GREAT and different sketch. I'm trying to think of a scene I can make, since it's such a huge panel.

...aaaaaaand as I was typing that last line, I thought of one

[PickleTree]

Hey Kathy, I went in January. I didn't see any card swapping. I got the recommendation from some other people to take a business card, because some of the vendors require one to give out samples. I probably only handed out less than a dozen, but I had some just in case. Nothing fancy for me - just a little something I printed up on the computer. How exciting that you're going in July. I've been saying I'm not going, but now that it's getting closer, I think I could be persuaded

[kerryj106]

Not a heck of a lot! Tidying up, watching a friend's little one. I will try and sneak in a couple hours of my contract work as soon as I put my dd down for a nap. Pretty boring day - but I'm not complaining!

[PickleTree]

I'd love to get something made for the sketch, too - it's such a fun one! Can't wait to see your idea, Kathy!

Love the big scallops - looks just like a stage curtain! Fab card - I love the raspberry fizz and pumpkin pie together - totally going to try that!!

samples???? You've piqued my interest hahah

[PickleTree]

Thanks for the feedback, Kathy and Kerry! Those are so NOT my go-to colors. It was an interesting little wrestling match trying to make it come together.
