Chain of Hearts - You are so sweet!

So I was digging out my craft room this weekend and discovered a bag of embossing folders along with a box of neglected card making supplies.  I was pleasantly surprised when the MFT Page Maps Challenge was posted as it provided an opportunity to combine both the Darice Heart Background Embossing Folder and the Sizzix  Framelits Dies with Heart Stamp Set.  This week's MFT Color Challenge is definitely ideal for ice cream cones & flamingos, but a bit of a stretch for me.  However, I am pleased with how this card came together so quickly using these guidelines.

I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:

A Pop of Color - Card Challenge #3

So what does one find herself doing when she needs to wind down a bit after 12 hours of tax preparation?  Reorganizing, truly more like digging out, her crafty space of course.  In the process I finally put all that Recollection & Coordinations card stock in ROYGBIV order!  I'm hoping this little burst of OCD energy will enable me to play along with the MFT (My Favorite Things) color challenges on a regular basis.  

So here's my first entry to the monthly MFT Color Challenge.  To be honest I pulled that card stock together over a week ago but couldn't come up with a design until Wednesday's weekly MFT Sketch Challenge design appeared. 

Think I'll have to play around a bit more often with that DieNamics BluePrint 8 die set.  Look at all those extra pieces that were created in the process!  More crafty goodness awaits.
