We are getting closer and closer friends! Only three more days until the New Product Release for My Favorite Things! Today I have ANOTHER card to show you. I've been in the card making mood lately. I need to shake it up a bit and make a page or something else! So let's get to that card ...
The outside of this card has NO new products on it - that was a terrible mistake on my part... But the inside does, so we will get there very soon! The Love You stamp is from my first set, Celebrate Life. I pull that one stamp out the most of any of them yet since it's such a common term used (on cards)! I stamped it on a Pierced Circle Stax Die-namics and then layered another underneath. I layered a third circle under that one that is cut out of vellum for a soft look. And this is when things get a little trickier ...
Remember that border Die-namic that I was SO in love with that I used it on every single project I made?!!??!?! It's called the Looped Border Die-namic. And let it be known that I'm still madly in love with it. But after using it so many times, I decided I must find some new ways to incorporate it into my projects.
To create this circular border, I die-cut two of the Looped Border Die-namics out of Smooth White Cardstock. I then applied some glue (Aleene's quick drying tacky glue) to a few of the loops at a time and layered twine over the glue. After the glue was all dry, I glued them around the vellum circle attaching the two edges so it formed a circle. They bend very well without breaking, especially after all that glue is on them, so they are thicker. I love how it turned out and I think I'll be using my favorite loopy border even more now!
For the inside of the card, I layered an Open Scallop Doily Duo Die-namic over another vellum circle. I stamped "Be Mine" from my new Love It set and colored it in with Copics. To finish the card, I added some trim to both edges. The aqua trim is smaller, so when the card is closed, it overlaps the coral trim.
I hope you have visited all of the DT blogs to see the amazing creations using the new products that were announced today on the My Favorite Things blog. These girls inspire me each day to create something else pretty - they are all so talented! I want to thank all of YOU for visiting my blog, supporting my new stamp line, and leaving me such nice comments. They really do make this all worth while and add cheer to my day - so thank you so much! And don't forget the big MFT New Product Release Day - it's this coming Tuesday, January 7th at 10:00 pm pst. Have a great weekend and see you back hopefully tomorrow! suzy

Oh my gosh Suzy, I'm in love with your work. The doodles, the color combinations, the way you stamp something and then add to it with your own doodles, etc. Truly amazing work.

So, you have a pre-workout which is our Combat, a blended protein.
Begin having a session of excess weight lifting before continuing with your cardio physical exercise and make sure that
you're working out entire muscle groups. But you need a training and nutrition program
that is designed to do so. This is certainly another one which you may not consider weight lifting gear in the beginning.
