FOSTV105 - New Years Card with Chalk and Paper Piercing

Christmas is over, Boxing Day is over and the sales have begun so it must be almost New Year.

At FOSTV we are celebrating New Year with Chalk and Paper Piercing.

I made one card for this challenge but wasn't too happy with the piercing. I then made two more so I am sharing all 3 here today. We would love you to join us at FOSTV with anything up to 5 cards so pull out your chalks and your piercing tools and show us what you can do.

Not so great piercing!

A piercing template used on this one!
All is Calm is the set containing the Trees and the sentiment is from the New Year set.

The prize this week at FOSTV is the stamp set called Easter Scene

Have a great week.
On a personal note I would like to wish Lauren a very Happy Birthday and a great time in Bath.

MFP August Blog Hop (Day 1) - Pocket Watches

August Blog Hop!

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

Featured TODAY - Aug 13th - Pocket Watches

Used with a sentiment from the new mini set Take Time and a pocket watch die from Spellbinders.

Clocks always make me think of New Year - hence this card! Also felt if I had a sentiment saying "Christmas Time" it would be great as a background to all sorts of Christmas images.

Please move on to An'Jenic and don't forget to come back tomorrow to see the next set.

Featured Aug 14th - Joyous Season

Featured Aug 15th - Country Charm

Featured Aug 16th - Wealthy Fish
