[cmf1216]

It's WEEK THREE of the MFT My Favorite Challenge and Chatter Thread!!

You'll have an entire week to complete the challenges and chat it up with your fellow MFT Junkies! And the best part is that you have a chance to win MFT PRIZES!

Sound good?

Just to review, here are the challenge details:

*A new My Favorite Challenge and Chatter thread is started every Thursday
*Complete the My Favorite Challenge by Wednesday at 10:00 AM
*ONE winner will be awarded $10 in MFT Money each week (not good on bubble bin sets)
*This will NOT be a random draw
*The winner will be chosen by Joanne, Christina OR the guest judge of their choice
*The winner for the week will be posted after the challenge is posted the following Thursday

Ready to play?

This week, your My Favorite Challenge is to make a tri-fold card. A tri-fold card is one that opens from two sides to reveal the inside of the card. Here are a few types of trifold cards from the SCS Resources Library:

Cami's Trifold Card

Gate Fold Card

Joy Fold Card


IMPORTANT: Please do NOT "double dip" for the MFT challenges. Since the My Favorite Challenge and the MFT Sketch Challenge have prize winners, Here is the general rule of thumb:

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

Your keyword for this week is: MFTMFC3
Your deadline is Wednesday, June 17 at 10:00 AM EST
Winner will be announced on June 18th

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

Here is my sample. It's a gatefold card I made with the set Flopsey's Flowers.

Bunches of Thanks Front
Bunches of Thanks Inside

I'm attaching Joanne's fabulous sample, too! It is a joy fold card made with the set Funky Flowers.

Also, check out the fantastic folds on the sample Kathy Daume' sent me!

Laying down makes it worse right now. I'm calling the clinic as soon as they open and hoping they will repeat the nerve blocks. They called in a muscle relaxant for me too, but I have another RX to fill and they said they needed an hour to fill it.

So I'm just passing the hour away

[cindy_haffner]

Congratulations Lisa and Jamie! What a fun challenge Christine, I love trifold cards.

Gate-Folds are one of my favorite "special" cards! And all those square MFT images are perfect for them!

ACK! Your card is fantastic, Bar! I LOVE the colors and the fun folds!

I'm glad you all are excited about the challenge! I think the gallery is going to be filled with awesome entries again!

I'm off to work on my sketch challenge card -- I'll check in later!

[kafranci]

Congrats to the winners!!! They are both super cute!!! Great job!!!

[kafranci]

I have never done a gate fold card so this will be a REAL challenge!!!

[LauraJean]

Hi karen!

[kafranci]

So I lied!! I had looked at Bar's beautiful gate fold card and it looks to have another fold in it and I've never done one like that, (hence the above post). Then I went back to the first post and clicked on the directions and I 've made lots of gate cards like that!!! lol!!! So, I take back my last post!!!

[kafranci]

Hi LJ!!!!

I think I'm now getting hooked on these challenges!!!! It's kind nice to do something you normally don't, you know CHALLENGE YOURSELF!!! lol!!!

I know, that's how my once a month girls night out with my playgroup mom friends turned into a serious obsession! challenges. But I seriously think that its the BEST way to grow your talents, get out of your own little box and learn new things! We're SO glad to have you girls playing around with us each week!

Glad you're hooked! I love hanging out over here!
Mmm. coffee....off to sip and gallery browse.

I agree!!! I find myself falling into the same few designs lately when I make cards. I've looked at the sketch challenges on splitcoast in the forum and have tried out a few of them, but had never really gone to the member company ones, actually I didn't know they had challenges!! I have also fallen in love with MFT stamps!!! I used to only have SU!, didn't even realize how many other stamp companies there were till I started visiting with the ladies here!!! Now I want em all!! There are so many awesome companies out there!!! Oh the money I could spend!!! Sigh, I guess I need to win the lottery!!

Have fun browsing!!! I love to browse, my husband must think I've got some secret lover via the internet, I suppose in a way I do, since I can spend hours looking at all the Cutie cards!!! LOL!!!

Here's one from me for the tri-fold challenge - I chose to try one of the Triangle Trifold cards - seen here - http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee...angle_trifold/

I made this sexy little card - hmmm....maybe to tuck into your Grillin' Guy's briefcase before he leaves for work - hee hee...

I've never made one of these gate fold cards before so this will definitely be a challenge for me.

[knightrone]

Congrats to Jamie and Lisa!! As soon as I get my card uploaded I will share it here!! I combined both challenges, but since I can't win it isn't THAT big a no no, hehe. I was making it last night and after I was done I was like, hey, you can't do that....silly girl!!

ETA: here it is!!
