No Foolin'... It's the MFT Blog Hop!

Happy April Fool's Day! You've come to my stop on the MFT Blog Hop! If you've just come from Carole's Blog, welcome! If not, you'll want to go back to Kim's Blog and catch up! There won't be any foolishness, just a lot of great eye candy! :)

For my card, I used the set Ben Paper Dolls. It's a great companion to the Isabelle Paper Dolls set! Ben is so cute, and his clothes and accessories are adorable, too! Here I created Pirate Ben and his little companion! Ben's face and hair are colored with Copics, and his outfit was made with a combination of paper piecing and coloring with Prismacolor Pencils. I distressed the edges of the paper and cardstock, then I added some sponging and piercing to the image panel. The bird is cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The sentiment is from the MFT set Going Places -- I thought it was perfect for this little adventurer!

My Favorite Things is having a New Release Cocktail Party TONIGHT from 9-10 PM EASTERN. This month there are 4 new sets being released! Head over to the MFT forum HERE to find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. We hope to see you there tonight!

Did you know that this set is named after Cammie's son? And guess what -- you're headed to her blog next! She's sure to have something fantastic for you to see! :)

I hope you enjoyed your stop here -- thanks for hopping by!
