MIM and MFT fun combo

Hello week 26!!!  Yes, we are in a new year, but I am excited to be done with half of last year wahooo!!!!!  This panel is for the  PTI MIM this week to add a fun corner for a design element.  I am also entering this into the MFT color challenge.  So excited for both. 

I did do another card for my Mom and Dad's anniversary, but it just didn't turn out like I imagined.  I will be taking a mulligan on this one and trying again today.  Hopefully I get that posted. 

It's a good life!

MFT card challenge

I don't know about you, but MFT was kind of off my radar for a while.  I'm not really sure why, but it was.  Then they hired Susan and started a new blog and BAM!  Here we are.  In fact I knew I had some MFT but had no idea where they went after the big craft room switch that happened a few months ago, but we now have all of the sets located and organized so that we can find them again.  Another bonus, the girls LOVE these pure innocense stamps and want to order more.  Love it when they get involved and Dad picks up the crafting tab LOL!!! 

This is for the MFT sketch challenge found here.  This is for a 13 year old little girl that was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  It is the superintendent's daughter and it has really hit all of us hard.  Cece picked this one and we then paired it with the new PTI hugs set.  I think that one is great for so many cards!  It is the new never leaving the desk staple in my craft room LOL! 

It's a good life!

MIM Catch up week

Well hello long time without posting.  We have been crafting/creating powerhouses over here.  We made a TON of Betsy's ornaments for all of the teachers/dance teachers/librarians/horse caregiver (seriously it was like 45 ornaments!).  Izzy also did a lot of hand painted masterpieces.   She is really getting into creating and crafting. 

Sense we have a throw back MIM challenge at PTI, I thought I would enter a throw back project that was never entered.  Can you even bellieve we are done with half of the school year?  I am just now scrapping my MIM book for July.  It is kind of fun to remember all of the warm things we did this year during the cold winter. 

We made these fun tags and gifts for all of teachers in Izzy's school (yeah we give to all of her teachers, office staff, assistants basically anyone who she ever talks too LOL!).  We found great jars at Michaels and put water mix ups in them for everyone. 

This was totally inspired by Laura's MIM about mixing background paste.  I LOVED how she created the stencil using the alphabet dies.  Really added a lot to the projects.  This is one the WHOLE family loved.  On that note, I am doing a new one for the MM week introduction page so there will be a new one done as well.  We only enter one a challenge now, so I might put it here, but it won't be official.  Have a great new year!

It's a good life!

Last one

This one was a unique one, but it looks similar to #1, so I thought we would bust out the inside.  Don't you love Izzy's painted hands?  This is due to her Christmas gifts she is making (a ton of paintings!).

We are doing Christmas different this year.  We are doing less commercial and more quality time and hand made.  It has been a great change for our family and we are so excited for it!  Betsy's MIM challenge this week was fit perfectly.

Izzy did the inside and we invited 4 groups of "greys" over to our house for a special Christmas lunch.  We decided that they didn't need more things, but we wanted to spend some quality time with them.  That can be hard to do with the rush and excitement of the season.

It's a good life!
