Happy New Year!!! Welcome to the first blog hop of 2013! We are so excited to share the great stamp sets we are releasing this month and the months to come. 

I made two cards with the stamp set for today. 

 

The first one is in my best shabby chic style (I am not good at shabby chic) and is for the OCC challenge as well as today's hop.  I used a sketch from Bo Bunny (21st June) that I just came across adding lace, pearls, distressing and ribbon. 

My second card uses the rose from the set coloured with Copics and a sketch from Craft's Meow Blog for January.  I used a Spellbinders die with the image and then layered it onto a doily.

 

 

 

 

 

 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

" OH Baby"

 

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Not So Ugly"

FOSTV 38 - Bingo

Here is the Bingo Card for this week's challenge if you would like to play along with us at Friends of Speedy TV

There is a lovely stamp set up for grabs to one lucky participant called Old Summer and this is what it looks like.

The card I made was tough to photograph but here is is - using the middle row (ribbon, butterflies and easel) and also using SC397.  The paper is from a Bo Bunny pad which is called Gabrielle and is available from MFP.

Here is a closer look at the butterflies.

Please join us in this weeks challenge - you just need to pick a line from the Bingo card that works for you.  We would love to see what you create.

Stampin Sisters in Christ - Bo Bunny

I made this Spring / Easter card using a MFP image and some of the Bo Bunny paper that I won on the SSIC blog hop - thank you it is a lovely pad of papers. 
This is a quick post as I forgot to upload it last night.

Chocolate Chip Bunny

This is going to be an interesting week and one of mixed emotions.  Today I am really excited starting my journey with Mark Finest Papers and the Friends of Speedy TV design team.  This is a really great opportunity for me to take my creating on a step further.
However, later this week I will be anxious as my Mum undergoes surgery on her spine.  This card is for her and if you believe in prayer please pray for her this week as it has been tough deciding to go ahead with this operation and I know she will be very worried about how she will cope.  She is one independent lady but she needs this operation to give her quality of life back but at the same time it is rather scary.

My card uses the beautiful bunny from the "In the forest" set and the get well soon from the "African Veldt" set - both Mark's Finest Papers.  The bright paper is from Bo Bunny and the polka dot paper is from Echo Park.  I have used Spellbinders dies and some flowers from my box.  I had to add that spotty button to finish it off!

The card is for 3 challenges
