December Shop HOP!

I love the fun of the MFT Shop Hop after days of teasers. This is the time when we all take a stamp set and give it another whirl, you know just before you all complete those purchases.

Tonight, our December Temp Team is joining us in the Shop HOP so you're in for a ginormous blog hop! You should have started your journey up at Kim's Blog and come here via Melody's amazing blog (I just love her work, so amazingly detailed, so beautiful right?)

Tonight, I'm excited to play with one of the new Pure Innocence stamp sets, Love You With All My Heart, I've paired it with a little bit more of the My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup paper that I'm so enamored with lately. And yes, you'll see that I've tucked another of those small circular panels that I've been on a tear with the last few days - today it is the anchor for my bow instead of a sentiment flag-thing.

Sweet Miss PI is paper pieced - which you know I love to do! My tip for you tonight is to make sure that when piecing you add details like extra sleeves or pockets pieced. Think about how the fabric would "turn" for a sleeve... those tiny details make such a world of difference, and only a few extra seconds to stamp the extra piece, trim it out and add in place.

From here, the next stop on your hop is Lesa Smaligo. I've *known* Lesa for a few years now as she is a true MFT "Junkie!" You can often find her on the Splitcoast Forum at our release parties and following along in our Wednesday Stamp Club challenges. So glad to have Miss Lesa with us on the December Temp Team this month - head on over to her blog Punkydoodle Papers to see what she's put together for the hop tonight! Happy Hopping and Happy SHOPPING too!
