FOSTV128 - Red, White and Blue

I made this little wallet in Red, White and Blue to give our niece some USA dollars for her trip.  I made it a while back when I knew this challenge was coming up using the set called Be Proud.  The challenge is at Marks Finest Papers FOSTV and you can find it here

Here she is with it on her Birthday

Thanks for looking and please play along with our challenge and have a great week.

Friends of Speedy TV - Challenge 79 - 4th July

Well another new week and a new month and if you are an American a good celebration this week with all the 4th July activities.  I think the Canadians are also celebrating today - Happy Canada Day.

The challenge over at FOSTV is make a 4th July card and this one is already on its way across "the pond" to friends in the USA.  Look out for challenge 79 on the page if you want to play along too.  We have two new team members who have recently joined Trudy and Ginny - make sure you check out their cards too.

I have used a recently released Marks Finest Paper set called Be Proud for this card and the image is coloured with Copics.  The border was cut with a punch from Tonic.  It cuts well but I struggle lining this one up for the first couple of cuts.  The ribbon was from my stash and the blue background paper is from Stampin Up.

 

Thanks for looking and have a great week and

Happy Independence Day for the 4th to those from the USA.

Considering I am only a USA visitor I had great fun with this set.  I made some cards which will make their way to USA friends for July 4th.  There is another on the MFP blog page today.

I also used a sentiment from the set on a map of USA where I have coloured the states we have visited - ones where we have slept at least one night!  We said ages ago we ought to do this and at last I have!  I hope the colours I have used for the states do not cause any offence to anyone.
 

 

Thanks for visiting. Please come back again tomorrow!  AnJenic is your next stop 

FOSTV76 - Get Well Card

Hi - thanks for coming to visit my blog.

My card today features a new bear being launched by Marks Finest Papers this week as part of the June stamps. 
I have chosen today to colour him/her for a get well card and not as a patriotic all American bear!  As well as using the new set featured on Thursday I have also used a flower and sentiment from the Glad Glads set.

The FOSTV challenge this week is to make a Get Well card and there is a lovely little stamp set as a prize - do join in - you have nothing to lose.

There are also more prizes up for grabs at the various MFP challenges as well as in this week's Blog Hop.  Please come back later and also each day this week to see all the new goodies.
