FOSTV129 - Side Step Card

I am rather late posting this today.  I normally try to pre-schedule but last night I was just too tired.  My GCSE students sat their last Maths paper on Friday so no more lessons with them.  We all now wait for the results on 21st August.  Lessons have stopped and I feel so tired - funny how the body behaves!

Anyway you came to find out about my card and hopefully our new FOSTV challenge - this week the challenge is Side Step Cards - any type you like.  My card uses Above the Rest stamp set - I love the expression on that seated giraffe's face.

Hope you have a lovely and creative week.

FOSTV 59 - Non Traditional Valentine

Another week, another Monday and a new Friends of Speedy TV challenge.  I hope despite the grotty weather this week finds you warm and well.  This part of the UK has been spared most of the snow this time around but the skies are horribly grey and sleet is coming down so pretty yuck!  In the north it has been bad and I know the USA East Coast has had a really bad pounding.  When you can't get out there is a good excuse to pull out your stamps and craft.

The FOSTV challenge this week is to make a Non Traditional Valentine - now this might take a bit more thought but I am sure you can do it.  If you can don't forget to link your creations back to the Speedy TV site and this week's challenge - FOSTV59.

I actually have two cards to show today. 

The first one is actually not too crazy and uses the recently released set called Fantastic Dogs.  I used the mirror stamping technique to get the dogs facing each other.

 

The sentiments are from the same set and also from Love Remains.  The tiny heart is from Pet Logic. I am entering this card for this week's Sentimental Sundays challenge "Love is in the Air" and Stampin with the Dragon challenge with the same theme. 

 

 



My second card is even more mad but I am going to share it none the less.  My image is from New Pines with sentiments from Above the Rest and the hearts as above.   I also used the background from Cracked Hello.

 

Now it is your turn to get creative and turn out a Non Traditional Valentine.  The set to be won by someone this week is called Kilt Fun.

 Good luck!

FOSTV - Colour challenge

It is time for another challenge over at FOSTV and we have made it easy for you this week.  Last Weeks was obviously tough for many of you but this time you just need to grab pale pink, green and either grey or cream and create.

The stamp set on offer to one lucky person is called Blessings.  It is a lovely set but one I don't personally have.





My card today using the challenge colours is made using a stamp set called Above the Rest.  My husband said I could not send it to anyone before he spotted the Get Well at the bottom!

 

I hope you play along with the challenge this week.  Thank you for checking out my card.

I also hope you got to enjoy some of the London 2012 Olympics - some wonderful moments and great to see all the athletes partying together last night.
