My Favorite Challenge/Sketch Challenge and Chatter Thread - Week 6 (7/02/09)

[basilefamily]

Welcome to WEEK SIX of the MFT My Favorite Challenge and Chatter Thread!!

You'll have an entire week to complete the challenges and chat it up with all your MFT friends! And the bonus is that you have a chance to win MFT PRIZES!

Sounds like fun, don't you think?

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

Okay, here's your challenge!

This week, your My Favorite Challenge is to Get a Little Green! Find something in your craft room, or in your house to repurpose! For instance, I found an old package of Prima's and I altered the package to create a fun little gift container. Christina reused an acrylic divider that she found inside a pack of CD's - so clever and cute to boot!! Jessie altered a whiteboard which was a free give away from the bank for a little vacation countdown calendar - love it!

DON'T FORGET: 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: MFTMFC6
Your deadline is Wednesday, July 8 at 10:00 AM EST
Winner will be announced on July 9

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

I've attached Christina's fantastic sample as well as a really fun sample from Jessie! You can find my sample here:

Boho Thanks - I found an old package of Primas in my storage area, and pulled it apart. I altered the insert, and then created a bellyband. I also had these pieces of Memory Glass and Frames sitting around for a rainy day which I turned into both a charm, and a magnet (using leftover magnetic tape from another project) - then I used all the leftover scraps to create a matching 3x3 notecard.

So, get hunting through your house to find something to re-purpose for your project! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Just marking my spot and am hoping to play this week!!! Congrats to last week's winners!!! Very cute cards!!! Loved the bunny "fur" on the paper piecing!!!

[texasjodylynn]

Congrats to Mercy, Karen and Belinda on their prize wins! YAY!

Sorry I was MIA last week. My hubby was on his 4 days off and I found myself busier than normal for some reason. I had a lot going!

I should be more free this week! My hubby is on a pretty busy schedule this next 8 days with 1 on, 1 off!

I am hoping to get stamping today! It's been SEVERAL days since I have stepped foot into my stamp room to stamp!

[texasjodylynn]

I got some HAPPY MAIL from one of the talented MFT Junkies!

HERE is what I got.

Isn't it just AWESOME?!?!?!!?

Thank you, Megan! You made my day!

I can't wait to use the polka dot ribbon! Maybe TODAY? That should tide me over until I get my own nest! THANK YOU! You're SO sweet!

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!

I have just taken the plunge and started a blog. I've posted all of one line! Well, I'm sure I'll get gabby later. I don't know a whole lot about this so I may be asking you guys for tips along the way. I don't know is if there is etiquette involved dp to be on the safe side I wanted to ask if it's OK to list other people's blogs that I follow without their permission.
