I did it!! I completed My Favourite Things Camp Create Session Two 2016,
which is also the FIRST time I've ever played in a MFT challenge of any nature! I had a blast, even though, on a few occasions I wanted to write that 'come and take me home' note. A little 'walk it off' time, a fresh perspective and a couple chocolates made everything better. The best part: five cards that, for the most part, I'm happy with and opportunity to try new techniques and/or see products in new ways. I don't have a very expansive MFT collection, so that was another aspect of the challenge that had my dendrites tumbling!
I'm well aware that my cards are 'nothing new under the sun', but they're 'firsts' for me and that counts for a little something, right? Right!
Anyway...here we go....
MFT Camp Create Fantastic Foiling: no foil apparatus (what is the plural of apparatus? Apparati?), so I used shimmer paper and white embossing as my 'shining' stuff for my Roses All Over Background and Amazing pairing. I like this one...4.5/5 stars
MFT Camp Create Colouring on Kraft. What fun I had, colouring up my musical bunnies and instruments from Strike Up the Band. No sentiment outside; I'll choose one later for the inside. I like this one, too; 4.5/5 stars
MFT Camp Create Magnificent Masking! ACK! I had trouble figuring out what the requirements were for this challenge, based on the video, so I went with my concentric circle stencil masked into sections, each one sponged with an alternating sequence of Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Abandoned Coral distress inks. It seemed an inviting place for a birthday bear, so add one I did; a polar bear, to be precise *grin* First outing for my bear set; then need way more play dates. This card makes me happy!! 4.75/5 stars.
Whew! I think I've earned a S'mores (or 10) after all this! Already looking forward to the next camp...
Since some form of colouring appeared on each card, I'm sharing over at Kathy's The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge

Wow Carol what an amazing collection of cards, all pinned for inspiration. I cant decide which I like the most so I will say perfect over all.
You are truly amazing, Carol! No two ways about it. I am happy you were able to participate in the Camp. Your cards are flat out fantastic. Each and every one. I really like your favorite of the bunch, but the one that really stood out for me was the thank you card right before your favorite. Those colors are gorgeous! Awesome work all around and I think you deserve a few more chocolates for your efforts! Hugs.
