One of my wishes for 2013 is to play in more challenges and what better challenge to start with than the My Favorite Things sketch below:
The MFT stamp set I used for that FAB sentiment is from the MFT Lovey Dovey set. I centered it on the Pink Paislee London Market patterned paper I die cut with the MFT Die-namics Postage Stamp Stax. I also used the MFT Mini Royal rose die and the MFT felt in Whip Cream. I must say I am in LOVE with their felt! Not only are the colors GORGEOUS but you receive 5~8 x 10 sheets for $4.95! A true bargain in the crafting world! I also used MFT paper in natural for the card base.
Here is a close up of my focal point:
One rose was rolled with the PP patterned paper and the other was rolled with the felt. I also added a punched out heart from the same paper collection with a butterfly and musical notes. I ran the heart through my crimper for more texture and distressed the edges.
There you have it. I hope you like it! I think I will be using this sketch for other cards in my future!

Very pretty. Love the papers and the rolled roses.
Absolutely gorgeous Sue, I love those layered pretty papers, and the fab sentiment!
Oh my that was a big ol Thud! This is gorgeous and Romantic! Just what I needed this morning as I am trying to get some energy as I try to get myself up and ready so I can get the little man ready for school! Thanks for starting my day with a smile! Here's to you having more free time to "play"! This is gorgeous!
Wow, Sue, this is stunning! A heart kind of lends itself to having a butterfly on it, but I've never thought of that before. I'll bet I end up doing that before Valentine's day is over. ;) I just love the MFT dies and felt, too. Thank you for all the sweet comments you've been leaving on my blog. I've been bad about not responding in kind, but I plan to do much better! Happy New Year to you, too!
So pretty Sue Lelli. Love the soft colors and gorgeous papers. The paper and felt flowers look awesome. The stitching looks great.
Gorgeous card Sue ... your rolled-roses are just perfect for that pretty DP!!!!
Happy New Year Sue! I hope it's a crafty filled one, as crafty as you hope!
I don't know how you do it but every card you make is so utterly pretty and gets me drooling every time! I adore this card, the pastel shades, the dainty flowers, the stitching...well everything! You are a true designer and need a regular spot in CARDS mag for sure

Have a great day and may all your dreams come true in 2013.
