Happy Saturday, friends!  Because we have several topics for the letter M, we've split it up into two parts; today is part one.  Let's get started!

We'd like you to think of this event as a library of resources, an index of inspirational stamped pieces and informative posts.  We've collected projects from the Garden Girls, your favorite brands and our special guests - each day you'll see something new from one or more of these artists, as well as exemplary projects we've collected by scouring the gallery, spotlighting how our members have applied these topics to past projects shared.  Be sure to scroll to the end of this post for a special challenge with a chance to win!

Today is the letter M - where M is for My Favorite Things, Maya Road & Memory Box! 

** Kristina has arranged for a 30% off sale on Memory Box in celebration of today's letter!  See the sale here and hurry - it's today only, ending at 11:59 pm CST!

We're beginning with a brand that is newer to the Two Peas store and one that has a unique line of products perfect for stamping and die-cutting - My Favorite Things!  You'll find we currently have dies for making flowers, scallops, tickets, banners - as well as their Pure Innocence line.  We've got a brand new project for you from their Design Team member and our special guest, Michele:

From Michele, "Masking stamped images is fun...and easy! 

1. Stamp your image onto desired cardstock. 
2. Stamp image again onto a Post It note. Cut out and place over your stamped image. 
3. Stamp second image over cardstock and Post It note. 
4. Remove Post It note and color as desired."
