MFT's April Hop & Shop!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to MFT's Hop & Shop! Did you have as much fun as I did seeing all the wonderful teasers from MFT's design team showcasing this month's newest products? Well guess what?! You don't have to wait anymore, because these products are available NOW on the MFT Boutique! Click HERE to start shopping. 

But wait!! Before you start shopping from your list, you might want to join our hop and check out what the MFT design team has to share with you today using more of these new yummy products. Also, we are giving away some blog candy -- a $15 voucher to the MFT Boutique! Be sure to comment as you hop because the candy is hidden with one of our design team members! The winner will be chosen from the comments! :-)

If you landed here on my blog via the SUPER creative Barbara, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start off on Kim's blog so you don't miss out on any information or any of the awesome creations the ladies have prepared to share with you tonight. :-)

Now onto my super fun project featuring MFT's new Inspired by Spring stamp set! First... the pictures... :-)














I used the Cottage Garden papers by Tim Coffey and incorporated some miscellaneous embellishments from my stash in addition to a bunch of MFT Die-namics, ribbon and felt.

For a close up look of this mini album, click HERE to watch the YouTube video tutorial I created.

Now to get you back on your hoppin' journey, I'd like to direct you over to the super sweet and talented ✿✿ LISA ✿✿. She is guaranteed to have something amazing to share with you!

Thanks for stopping by!

hugs!
