Here is what I created:
 
I made a boys birthday card with these fun stamps.
I added this cute little Birthday charm.
 
My second one:
 
I have had this paper for years and I thought it would be a cute addition to the spaceship, and sentiments.  The inside says "Sorry I forgot"...

For our second day we are showcasing this really fun summer set all about camping!  I don't know about you but I LOVE to camp.  We use to go to Wyoming on the Grays River just out of Alpine and dry camp for two weeks.  What fun we had.  You really had to love being isolated and getting dirty but the fun times were had by all.  Now the camping is in our back yard.  We don't even have to leave home...
 
 
My cards today show a little of my interest in the Great Out Doors!
 
 
We were always on the watch for Bears so I had to add this in my card!
 
 
I wasn't home on Monday so I didn't get a chance to post my "Sneak Peek" cards so I am posting them here today...
Showcasing the 5th set
 
"Marsh Silhouettes"

I am so happy to have you stop by...  I hope you will join us all week as we present these wonderful new sets from Mark's Finest Paper a HRC.  Today we are showcasing this gorgeous set
 "Marsh Birds".
I did my card a little out of my comfort zone...  I haven't been doing  much with flowers and frills lately but this set just screamed for some of that...
 
I embossed the white card stock, trimmed the side with a small scallop punch, embossed the side edge with a matching embossing folder.  Stamped the images, cut them out and framed them in pink.  I used some small silk green ribbon down the edge and curled the ends.  I added some cutout flowers, roses, and some silk leaves.  I decided to stamp the sentiment and break them  up into three words.
 
I hope you are having fun so far!!!  Hop on down the list and see all the beautiful work from my team members.
Come on back tomorrow,
Hugs

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV #48

Hi and Happy Friday!!!
 Welcome to "Tutorial Time on Speedy TV" Friday tutorial brought to you by our talented designer Pam .  She is showing you how to use acrylic paints in stamping.  This was fun and not to messy so I hope you will join in this week.  Here is my example:

 
On my card I used the stamp set "Chicken Wire" to stamp the border and the two flowers with white acrylic paint.  I used the edge of my brush to distress the edges.  The middle frame is "Recipe Card"  stamp set and they are both found at Mark's Finest Papers shop.
 
I hope to see more entries this week.  We have a great stamp set you have a chance to win just by entering your card.
 
Lots of Hugs,
