Mark's Finest Papers Blog Hop- Day 3

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


And…LOOK for the WINNERS of the Blog Hop on Saturday!

Our New Sets are: In the Forest, Happy Pansies, Sew What, and Floral Tea.  For your convenience, all 4 stamp sets are available for purchase TODAY!

For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs TODAY. On Saturday, January 15, 2011, a winner will be chosen from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for today. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day of the blog hop. You DO NOT have to comment every day. However, the more days you comment, the more chances you have to win!) If you miss a day, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning.

Today we are featuring the "Sew What?" stamp set:
For this month's Blog Hop, I decided not to make any standard-sized cards.  I used the "Sew What?" stamp set to make this sewing tin.  This is such a wonderful sewing-themed set!  I used a recycled mint container for the tin.  I embossed and masked the spool and thimble.  I used a blue embossing powder for the words.  I completed the tin by doing faux stitching around the edges and adding a decorative plastic needle on the front.  This little tin would be perfect for keeping a few needles, buttons, and small spools of thread close and handy.

Make sure to join us tomorrow for the fourth and final day of the Blog Hop!
