Those of you who know me well know that I am a "sentimental type of girl" so the thought of duck shooting or hunting of any sort fills me with disgust.  However I know it is a sport that many people enjoy and farmers believe it is the way of managing their land. 

Today's set is called Duck Hunting so I avoided the shooting aspect and went for just the ducks.

Here are my two cards showing how the ducks can be used to create some peaceful scenes. 



I feel this card needs the sentiment "Another Birthday" on the front with the words Sadly Not Possible" inside!  I used the Marsh Silhouettes on this one.


This one uses All Postal with the ducks and plenty of flowers from my box.

I have two cards to show you using the tigers set but with the second one I have a few photos, so please bear with me.

Card 1 - might send it to my brother!

Card 2 taken at an angle so you can see the style

Card 2 again showing the various layers.  I used "Be Wild and Free" and "Mountain Selections" as well as the new "Tigers" set on this card.  I used Distress Inks, Memento Inks and Prismacolor pencils on this.

This shows the inside of the card.

FOSTV98 - Torn Paper

This week's challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to make a card or other project using torn paper.  I added another to my Christmas card collection. I used Distress Inks and the "Just a Note" set on the background torn piece.  The lamp and sentiment are from the set called "Poinsettia Blooms".  
The die for my fern is from Impression Obsession and I tucked it under my lamp.  Please check out the challenge over at FOSTV and join us this week.


Thanks for popping in today - please come back the rest of the week as it is Blog Hop week.  For a look at the 5th set and the mini released this month please see the post below.
