Have a Cool Day



Hey everyone, I have one more My Favorite Things card to share with you this month.

I pulled out one of my favorite Birdie Brown sets (Cool Day), and used a combination of coloring and piecing to complete his look.  Doesn't he look cozy in his red sweater?

His ice floe is also pieced and I added just a touch of inking in the background to create the water line.

I thought I would recap all my MFT projects from this month.  It's really been fun creating for them, and I hope that you'll play along with one (or both) of the two challenges we have open right now.  Clicking on the card image below will take you to the original post.

Also, keep your eyes peeled on Instagram because there are going to be some big goings on there in February, LOTS of giveaways!  If you don't follow MFT yet, now's the time to do it!

    Your bear is dynamite in his cozy sweater! Love that--and of course I enjoy all your other cards from the month Miriam. I think my favs are your intro & your color card #14, but I'm a sucker for them all :)

    Hi Miriam! What a fun paper-pieced card! I love that you always add the extra stuff like the waterline inking to complete the look of the card. It is no wonder why I keep coming back to your blog! I just love your attention to details! :) Also, congratulations on your latest publication! That card is just breathtaking! I thought you did such a fabulous job on the stencil work and embossing. Absolutely love it!!! Have an awesome weekend!

    That bear is totally adorable. I love how you used patterned paper to make him that sweater. Such a fun idea. I also love how you created the ice he is standing on as well.

    Really nice to see all your cards that you created for the challenges. Each one is so pretty. I also like how you use the negatives to make the cards as well as the positives. No waste!!

    Goodness, Mim, I don't think it's good for me to fall out of my chair, get back up, scroll down, fall out of my chair, get up ... you know what I mean!! This was a PARADE of fall-out-my-chair adorableness!! Your cards are always simply divine!! And, BTW, I'm totally in love with the snow dude who opened your show when I came in today! Such excellent piecing and dude does indeed look cozy in his classic gorgeous sweater!! Hugs, Darnell

    This guy always cracks me up. The inking you did for the water line, while subtle, is just perfect to complete your card. So smart of you : ) Love the slightly gray card base to pop the white ice block.
