Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

It is about 50 degrees here in MA today...still can not believe the warm weather we have been having.  I have a little bit of love to show you today.  I have a few cards I made using the Karen Foster Valentine line a little while back.  Love the vintage feel of this line.

Have a wonderfully lovely day today everyone.  Hope you and your sweetie enjoy your night!

And the winner is......

Congratulations to Myoriah.  Send me and email with your address to maryfrances@townisp.com and I will send out your goodies first thing next week!

Thank you to everyone for playing this week.  It was so fun showing you all the new goodies from MAMBI.  I will have more projects to show next week for who know where!

I will leave you with a few more MAMBI projects.  Have a super weekend!

MAMBI Pretty Baby Girl Collection

Hi Everyone!  Happy Friday!  I am so excited for this weekend, not just because the New England Patriots are in the Superbowl, but that my bestest scrapping friend and I are going to a crop!  YAY us.  15 hours of cropping fun!  Can't wait!

But, first up lets take a look at the MAMBI Baby Girl collection.  If you have a little girl, or know a little girl, or just love the sweetest soft pink and pretty little girl patterns then you have to grab some of this collection us.

What little baby girls room would not be complete with out one of these...

Thanks to my friend Becky who sat with me one night and scrunched all the flowers for me....just love that little helper of mine.

 This little set of plaques did end up with pink wire hangers on them.  I took these photos too early to show.  They looked so cute hanging in the MAMBI booth at CHA!

 Here are some close ups.  I pained each one white, then added in some pink cardstock that I embossed.  The rest are stickers and chipboard accents from the collection.

Here I added some ribbon and a button.  Just love how these came out.  What a great gift for a baby shower.

Well, got to get packing for the crop...so excited!  Also, have to figure out what to serve on Sunday.  Anyone have any great recipes for a football gang?

Oh, and don't forget about the contest.  Leave a comment and tomorrow morning I will pick a winner!  Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend....Go Pats!

More MAMBI: How about a little wedding bliss today!

I am showing you the wedding collection today from MAMBI.  Such beautifully soft colors of cream, silver, gold and white.  A little hint of blue and this collection is a bride's dream for sure.

Take a look.

 Te Bride's bouquet!

 Not sure how many flowers I did for this but their were a lot.  It took me forever...but was totally worth it.

 I added pink ribbon and wrapped the handle with blue/green chiffon ribbon.

 A lovely candle wrap using on the elegant stickers in the collection.

 Guest book!

 Cool shot of all the layers I created.

 Pretty bow made using vintage ribbon from Strano Designs.

 Table cards...are these gorgeous or what?

 Well, thanks for taking a peek everyone!  Don't forget to leave a comment.  I am going to pick a winner on Saturday morning from all the comments this week.  You could win a really neat bag of goodies from me.

MAMBI School Collection

I told you I would be back with another look at the new collections MAMBI has come out with at this years CHA show.  Well, check this out....the new school lines.

 This is a wood apple I picked up at the unfinished furniture store in my town.  I cut strips of paper and torn them into little bits.  I then mod podged them onto the apple.  Made a little band with paper and topped it off with a sticker matted with cardstock.

 I made this pencil holder out of an dink mix container.  It was a clear white color so I did not even need to paint it.  More paper and stickers anrd a few deco punches and waaalaaaa!

 Easy pencil toppers using stickers and paper.  Added some twine as an accent and I think it only took about 30 minutes to make them all.

 This calendar is made out of bar coasters, more paper, stickers and ribbon.

 I used some of my spellbinders dies to cut out little frame accents to go with the stickers.

 I embossed this die cut shape with my Swiss dot embossing folder...love how it looks.

Well, that is it for me for today.  Don't forget to leave a comment and you may win a goodie bag from me at the end of the week.

I was given a wonderful opportunity a week or so back.  I was asked by MAMBI (Me and My Big Ideas) to do work for them for their trade show booth at CHA.  I was super excited...as you would expect.

For the next few days I will be showing you what I made using the MAMBI School, Baby Girl and Boy, Wedding and Sports lines.  Oh my..what fun colors and patterns.  The chipboard accents are to die for.  And each page kit you buy which are called MAMBI kits is full of so many things.  You can make layouts, cards, paper projects and still have "stuff" left over.

Here is a project I did with the "Baby Boy" Line.

 The train sticker, which is dimensional, was one long piece.  I cut it apart so it would fit across three blocks.  The stars where just yellow until I added gold Stickles to them so they would sparkle.

 I cut felt scallop circles to go with the sticker accents on the side of this block.  You can also see them on the top orange accent.

My hubby Gregg cut the blocks for me from a stair post he got at Home Depot.  I then painted them blue and mod modged paper onto each side.  I then took a brown ink pad, chaulk ink, and added some dimension and antiquing effect to the edges.  I did the same to the stickers so they were not so white in color.

This entire project was made from just one 8x8 layout kit.  And I had enough left over for at least a layout or a couple of cards.

CONTEST ALERT!  Leave a comment on my blog each day for the rest of the week and on Friday I will pick a winner of some really cool products that will sure get you scrap on!

That's it for me for today.  Check back tomorrow for more MAMBI creations.
