You've Been Spotted - December 27, 2016

Each week we see fantastic projects featuring My Favorite Things product, and we're always so thrilled to see what our customers and followers are creating!

Today, we'd like to shine the spotlight on some awesome projects that have caught our attention in another edition of  You've Been Spotted. Sit a spell and get ready to ooooooh and aaaaah over some of the cool designs we've noticed recently.

If you see your project featured, feel free to post this image on your blog and link to this post to show the world that you were spotted by My Favorite Things!

Jane Allen

It's no wonder Santa is jumping for joy — he's finally on vacation! Jane's no-line coloring of this image from our Jingle All the Way stamp set is seriously inspiring!

Susan Wuthrich

Susan is still spreading joy with this super sweet shaker card using our Joyous Christmas Sentiments and Warmest Wishes stamp sets.

Bhavana Kesarkar

Creative Team Member Donna Mikasa spotted this pretty design on Bhavana's blog. Donna says, "Such a unique way to use MFT's Four Corners Die-namics to create a simple, stunning design." I totally agree!

Steph Hill

Baby, it's cold outside, but the cute penguin from our Toasty Greetings stamp set is keeping warm with a glowing fire and a warm hat and mittens in this adorable design from Steph.

Lexa Levana

Lexa created a festive pop-up card with our Pop-Up Elements Die-namics. She went to town incorporating at least six of our stamp sets from Jingle All the Way to Snuggle Bunnies! What a great idea for Christmas 2017!

Thanks for using MFT, ladies! You've left us inspired, and that's what it's all about! See you tomorrow for another great Sketch Challenge, and look for the next MFT Color Challenge  on Thursday, January 12th.

Which design is your favorite this week? Be sure to leave these ladies some love. And who knows? You might be spotted sometime soon!

Let's take a look at more examples of designs that sparkle that you can create using products from My Favorite Things!

Like Stephanie in the video, Keisha adds sparkle to her wintry scene using Silver Sparkle card stock with the Let it Snowflake Die-namics. They glisten in her snowy scene of Winter Trees and the Snowfall - Vertical Die-namics. 

Debbie adds Silver Sparkle to emulate an frozen pond to complement her beautifully colored Ice Skater. The pinks and polka dots add a sweetness to her design. 

Diamonds HAVE to sparkle, right? Keisha's chic design is shiny and glittery with a subtle background and a cool peek-a-boo window Die-namics.
