Friends under the Sea - FOSTV160

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

and now a view of the inside

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.

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

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

"Nature's Brushstrokes"

Today's set is called Tailgate Party. We don't have enough land near sporting events to tailgate so I don't know of anywhere in the UK that it happens. We did have a tailgate BBQ though once with our friends when they lived near San Francisco when we went to watch Stanford Football.

My cards today are for men in the family whose Birthdays are soon. Football in the UK is soccer so I added the extra ball to my second card!

I also have one further card made with the Nature's Brushstrokes set which I love with a sentiment from Birthday Mini

Thanks for visiting this week - I hope you have enjoyed the hop. See you again soon and don't forget to check out my other team member's work.

MFP September Blog Hop - Day 1 - Koi Fish

Sept. Blog Hop!

My first card today uses the new set and also the lovely dragonflies set from MFP. Images were coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Zest. Inks are from Memento and some silver embossing powder was added to the dragonflies. We saw some beauties whizzing around at Trillion Lake near Mount Hood so I wanted to add some to my card.

My second card is a Joy Fold (reversed!) with the flower from Lotus Blossoms as the "closure element" which was coloured with Copics. Memento inks were used and the papers are from Papermania.

My last card uses the Nature's Brushstrokes, the mini set this month, simply with Versamark and Perfect Pearls and then two corners punched with a lovely punch I suddenly remembered I had.

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is: "Nature's Brushstrokes"

As many of you know we have been on our travels - San Francisco for a wedding, Redding, Crater Lake, Bend, Mount Hood, Lincoln City, Smith River, Fort Bragg and then back home. We have seen some lovely sights, had some fun and driven a lot. Crafting on route wasn't as easy as I had hoped so my first full day at home was spent doing laundry and trying to get my blog hop cards done. I had some images stamped and some coloured ready but it has been a bit of a rush. I hope you like what you see over the next few days but please visit the rest of the team for some great work with the new sets each day this week.
Today I have some projects using Holiday Tags and one for Nature's Brushstrokes - the pretty mini set released this month. I have some others for the mini later in the week.
