My Favorite Challenge/Sketch Challenge and Chatter Thread - Week 9 (7/23/09): My Favorite Things

cmf1216 · 07-20-2009

Hello, MFT friends! I'm back with WEEK 9 of the MFT My Favorite Challenge and Chatter Thread! Joanne and I are having so much fun seeing what you create and chatting with you all each week!

Now, don't forget that you have a week to complete this week's challenge, plus you get to chat it up with all your fellow MFT Junkies! And the bonus is that you have a chance to win MFT PRIZES!

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? Here's your Week 9 Challenge!

This week, the My Favorite Challenge is to finish your card inside and out. Don't let your creativity stop with the front of your card -- line and stamp the inside, too! You'll have a beautifully finished card for someone special!

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: MFTMFC9
Your deadline is Wednesday, July 29 at 10:00 AM EST
Winner will be announced on July 30

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

We can't wait to see your "Inside and Out" cards!

I fly out Thursday at 5. My plan is to leave here around 2. Do you live close to the airport?

20something · 07-23-2009

I can't believe I'm leaving on Tuesday! I'm psyched!

I am about 20 minutes north so is that close

. I can alway run you down there, but I don't want you to feel like you have to say yes if you worry about it. It really won't hurt my feeling either way.

jaymerz · 07-23-2009

I should mention you would be trapped in a car with 3 kids too

, just thought you should have all the info before you make your decision, haha.

Chris, I uploaded it just before I posted about it here. Sometimes SCS is screwy with uploads, that's for sure. Hope it's where it belongs by now!

No!! I've got lots of card making I need to do, plus I need to pack. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to flying. So I'm not looking forward to that part. I did start jumping around with excitement yesterday. Once that plane lands, I'm going to be giddy. How am I supposed to sleep that night?

just tired again. same problem. I'm gonna try turning off the computer, deleting the card from my desktop and then putting it back. Last time I had a problem I saw that other people were getting their cards posted and I did the starting from scratch thing and it worked.
so ta ta for now.

That would work. What about Sunday? I land at 1135. Is your church service over then? Maybe we should meet for lunch before I head back to OK.

Oh shoot, no church starts at 11:30 and I have to teach so I can't miss it. Maybe we can meet before you fly out somewhere in Wichita. So at least we get to do that.

Oh man! That's a late service.

Yeah I didn't think I would like it when we changed from 9 but I actually enjoy it. Sunday mornings are stress free and we get to sleep in and take it easy so not to bad.

cveneruso · 07-23-2009

well, I tried rebooting twice and that isn't helping. I see different cards in the gallery so other people are being successful. I don't know what to do. I have sent an e-mail to Jenn Balcer but in the meantime does anyone have any ideas.

cveneruso · 07-23-2009

I still can't get the card uploaded here so in the meantime if you'd like to see it, you can go to my blog and see it there.
