MFP Blog Hop - Day 1

Welcome to the MFP March Blog Hop! This month, we are releasing 4 NEW SETS!


Our New Sets are: Just Dandy, African Veldt, Grandma's Boudoir, and Fish You Were Here. For your convenience, all 4 stamp sets are available for purchase TODAY!

We have a NEW Blog Candy Contest! BE A GUEST DESIGNER!

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!

All Blog Hop participants will have the chance to win a Month Long GUEST DESIGNER position on our Senior Design team! That’s right! ONE lucky winner will receive a Guest Designer package that will include April 2011’s Four New Release sets, a selection of Premium Papers, and beautiful embellishments. The winner will also receive a Guest Designer Watermark, Blog Button and have the choice to participate in the April 2011 Blog Hop!

What do you need to do to qualify? Just comment on the Design Team blogs during the blog hop. EACH DAY that participants comment on all the Design Team blogs, their name will be entered once in the random drawing. Each participant has the opportunity to have his/her name entered up to four times. (There are four days of the blog hop, so there are up to four entries per person.) The winner will be announced on the Mark’s Finest Papers blog on Saturday, March 12, 2011.

I used the SCS Triple Tier Slider Card tutorial for my first card using today's set, Just Dandy. If you look closely, you can see where I added Polar White Flower Soft to the dandelions on the front.




My second project is not a card -- but a tissue box cover. I know a lot of people who have allergies, and dandelions tend to bring out the worst in them. So I figured a box of tissues might come in handy.



Be sure to comment on all the blogs to qualify for the prize. Next stop on the hop is Vicky .

    Your set is so adorable! I love the sweet little card pocket and tag. And the tissue box cover is sooo pretty! Great embossed design. It would be so nice to cover some of those nasty boxes or hide the out of season ones when they go on sale!
