Its time to HOP and then SHOP with MFT!

Welcome to the MFT August Shop Hop!

I've had a blast working with this month's release from My Favorite Things! Tonight all the newest stamps and accessories are available in the shop, but we've got a fun HOP planned for you featuring work from each of our talented designers...

If you didn't start up at the MFT Blog, you'll want to pop up to the beginning, because you've already missed half of the gorgeous samples. :)

I am working with à la modes: Bundle of Baby and put together a card for my sweet friend Taylor who is expecting.  I've paired it with the larger of the two Doilies in the Open Scallop Doily Duo do you see it just peeking out up over the corner?  

and I will admit to being "sentimentally challenged" so I'm loving the new Bracket Tab Die-namics.
I am quite sure that his will get SO much use from me.

Down the very bottom of the card, you'll see a layer of the Simply Scallops Medium Die-namic.

I'm loving rolling forward the edges of my patterned paper, that double sided paper is pretty on *both* sides so why would you want to tack it all down and hide it.

I think my favorite part of this card is the little baby bundle itself, I paper pieced it, stamping the blanket twice so that the pattern on the "fabric" would turn the way a real blanket would in a swaddle.

Oh sweet baby swaddles, my boys always *loved* to be snuggled up in a swaddle.

This cutie-patootie paper is October Afternoon's Ducks in a Row - my favorite ever for baby cards. Its finished off with a bit of Baker's Twine, lots and lots of sewing and a little snippet of Vintage trims.

Don't forget to stop by the MFT Boutique to peruse all the latest goodies. This is a fantastic release - and surely you'll find a little something that *needs* to come to live at your house!

Your next stop on tonight's hop is my super sweet, and uber crafty friend JESSIE! Have a blast!
