FOSTV77 - Birthday

It's Birthday Party time at Friends of Speedy TV this week and you can join in by making a card.  Join in the fun by going to the FOSTV page and checking out Challenge 77 - you can also check out all the creations by my team mates. 

My card today uses some of the paper left after Cricut images were cut when making this card but I didn't use the spotty paper in the end anyway!  The red paper is stamped with all the kitchen items from Recipe Card Starters and Recipe Completer and then the two women are given nice Birthday treats to hold - cake and flowers (stamped on shrink plastic).  The cake is from Celebrate Big and the flower and the sentiment from Hum Along


There will be a prize for one person entering the FOSTV challenge this week and if you use Marks Finest Papers stamps you double your chances!

Enjoy the challenge and have a good week.

Last Minute Harriet

She was coloured and ready but turning her into a card for Sketch and Stash has been a last minute rush.  Her real name is Maggie and she is a Sugar Nellie stamp.

She is an image that has been in my collection for ages and needed an airing! 


Hope you think she is cute!

Coffee in the Morning

and all day long?

Actually I am not a big coffee drinker but this sentiment does make me laugh and I include tea too!  I have had this set for some time but I can't remember who makes it. I think it might be Impression Obsession.



I have used Spellbinders and Cuttlebug dies and coloured with Copics.

Enjoy your Sunday.

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

Thanks for stopping today - please check out the rest of the team's cards.  AnJenic is the next one fire fighting.

My cards using Need a Vacation are below.  The first one, an easel card, uses the flamingo from the set and a sentiment from Silly Shells. I am entering this one in this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge which has the theme "Fun in the Sun".  I think the cute paper gives the impression he / she is having fun!


 
My other two cards just use images and sentiments from the set, simply presented.



Hop on over to AnJenic next to see what she has for you today.
