FOSTV163 - Creatures of the Night

Last FOSTV challenge
I would like to say I was going out on a high but the folding of the FOSTV challenge was only announced yesterday evening so I have nothing special prepared.

Our last challenge has the theme Creatures of the Night and I used the Owl nesting in a roof space for a New Home card.

I first started on the team in October 2011 and I have worked with a great team, and had wonderful support from them all. It feels quite sad posting on the MFP page for the last time so I do hope you will give the challenge a good send off and play along.

I will continue to post on my blog and on Splitcoast so please don't be a stranger.

FOSTV162 - Trifold Cards

This week's FOSTV challenge is to make a Trifold Card. There are lots of tutorials at Splitcoast stampers and I used one from there for this little card. I used Brushos on this and stamps from the Flower Blocks set. The photos show it both closed and open.

The details of the challenge can be found here. Please make a tri-fold card and join us. Don't forget to check out the cards made by the rest of the team.

Have a lovely and creative week.

Friends in Spring Colours - FOSTV161

This week's FOSTV challenge is to bring a touch of spring to our cards with some lovely

Spring Colours

I know the days for many are still grey and cold so adding some pretty colours is sure to cheer things up and I hope my card will bring a smile. This is my first flowerpot card.

I used the Huge Blooms stamp set.

I hope spring will find you soon with some lovely flowers, sunshine and colours. Don't forget to play along.

Our challenge this week at Friends of Speedy TV has a theme "under the Sea" - any cards or other projects fitting this theme would be most welcome and the challege can be found here.

I was initially stumped by this challenge but here is the card I came up with. First a view of the front

I used the MFP stamp sets Be Virtuous, Nature's Brushstrokes, New Year Mini and Wealthy Fish to complete my card. Check out the team's creations and get your thinking caps on - you have until Easter Sunday to get your cards done.

Please come back tomorrow for our March blog hop.

Triangular Cards

This week at Friends of Speedy TV our challenge is Triangular cards. Here is one I made for one of my students who fell and broke his arm and is still in quite a lot of pain.

The cup is from a coffee set called Java Time but my guess is it would be filled with hot chocolate!

We would love you to join our challenge and you can find details here. Have a great week.

FOSTV157 - Using Numbers

I made this card for this week's challenge a few weeks ago for the young lady next door. I used MFPStampShop Calendar set with various dies and a border punch to make this little cupcake stand card.

Forgot to add a photo of the inside

Sentiment is not from MFP but snowflake and umbrella are.

If you didn't read the title you have hopefully guessed the challenge is to use Numbers - you can find the details here and we would love you to join us.
