Official start:  July 16 -0800 (EST)
This blog hop will end on July 19-2200hrs (that’s 8 pm, EST)

Theme:FCD Sketch 021

Our blog hop for July is focusing on FCD Sketch 021!

Did you know that all of the FCD sketches are located here?

Here’s the sketch, and I’ve got an extra special guest on my blog today too!

FCD021

Here’s what I did with it!

This is a BRAND new digital design by Boni Boutelle-Jones-Fisherman Fin. I just LOVE it, and had to get it ready to release for the blog hop just so I could do this card…lol…

This set comes with 17 phrases!! Many of  them styled so you can use a phrase as I did, as fishing line! While I was working on this blog post, Boni was busy adding images to this set! There is now a fishy, container of worms, bucket of brew, and 2 lures!! GO BONI!

Rubber stamps used: Create a Scene (grasses), Thinking of You (fish, horsefly, and cat tails), bubbles

by Pamela Clark

Good things come to those who Bait! card by Pamela Clark

and now I want to share with you a card my dd, Katie,  made for the hop! She’s my special guest today…I love it when my girlies craft with me! grin…..

She also used an image by Boni Boutelle-Jones, called Cole Minor. Isn’t he CUTE!!!

Rubber images used: Something fishy this way comes (phrase)

Cole Minor, by Katie Clark

Cole Minor card by Katie Clark

Coloring for both cards was done with Copics/Triart markers. Highlites done with Sakura white gel pen.

Blog Hop Details:

This is a “circular blog hop” where the only beginning is wherever you start!!  You don’t have to go to a ’starting blog’, or try to find your way to the ‘ending blog’. You will know you are at the end of the blog hop when you’ve come back to the blog you’ve started from!  It’s not a huge circle…so it should be easy to remember where you started. :0)

BLOG CANDY!! (free 4×5 stamp set (my choice) OR you choose 4 free digis!!) One winner will be chosen from a mystery blog hostess…so you’ll want to leave a comment on EVERY blog so you don’t miss out! It’s like a treasure hunt inside a blog hop…he he he     Please check back here on Tuesday for the winner results.

Your next stop on the blog hop is: URSULA

Enjoy!!

Winner of Eclipse challenge!

July 01, 2010 By: Pamela Category: Contests, blog candy

The winner of the Eclipse challenge “Love Bites” candy is : #6. Dani C.

Dani please email me your snail mail addy so I can get that set out to you asap.

I had my 18 yr old DD (who didn’t know who the artists were) choose the FCD FAB FAVS.

As per Katie:   And the  award goes to (in no particular order):

Hetty Sanders-altho Hetty has never seen any of the movies, or read any of the books, I think she did a fangtastic using the coffee rings and distress dots to create her card.

Michelle B. aka Just Painting Around-I like how she picked the contrast theme with the black and white circles,she took a bite out of this challenge and showed where her loyalties lie by spotlighting the wolf images and creating a real emphasis on the subject.

Boni-I really like how she created the fire and ice using stamps and colors. The tiny ice cubes made me howl with laughter. I love how she used the red fiber all the way around the eclipse to show how she likes it HOT, even tho she says she is not into the glittery vampires or the werewolf scene.

My mom will email you ladies your blinkies so be on the lookout for them.

thanks everyone for playing along!!

And don’t forget to enter one of the other three challenges FCD is hosting!

1.Iris’s summer challenge. She is 10 yrs old, and has started her own challenge blog!!  Her challenge is June 28 and runs til July 19th, and FCD is giving away 4 free digis!

2. FCD is sponsoring the Good luck/Best wishes challenge at Spoon Full of Sugar! Click here to read all about this challenge and how you can enter to win $15.00 in digital images!! This challenge is going on NOW!

3. FCD is sponsoring Wishes for Bella challenge. Please create a card to send to this little girl who has lost so much and still keeps smiling. To read all the details of her story, click here. To read and  join in the challenge click here.  FCD is sponsoring the grand prize collection with a $10.00 gift certificate!

Hope you’re having fun this summer!!-Katie

Note from Pam: I would have loved to give the blinkies to crafters not associated with FCD, but alas there were only 3 non-FCD’ers represented. So, I chose the candy exclusively from non- FCD’ers, and opened up the blinkie to everyone. Want a blinkie of your own? Share your art on future challenges and encourage your friends to do the same!
