FCD Blog Hop: Open Roads!

Hi Peeps! I know I’ve been absent a while! I’ve been busy moving, attending my niece’s graduation in SC, and having surgery! I still have some boxes in my studio to unpack, but I have enough to play, and my hand is recovering enough to make some play time possible – as long as it’s nothing too crazy or time consuming! But I’m working my way back, promise!

I’m a last minute entry to this month’s FCD blog hop! The theme is Open Roads. It’s finally summer and that means travellin’ tunes – make something inspired by a favorite travellin tune!
This month we also have some designers from the Paper Temptress store hopping with us, as well as the guest digi and guest stamp DT for FCD! Welcome to all of you gals; I do so hope you have a super time! And welcome to you hoppers, too! Ready, set, go!



This card uses some trash-to-treasure, digital file (the car), stamps, and computer printed text. I think I covered all the bases! LOL

So, here it is! Kind of simple, but it took a lot out of me so I hope you like it! :o)

The car template is an FCD freebie! You can find it here. The car was cut from the backing of a Basic Gray chip board pieces set. It had such a pretty design that I kept it for future use. Finally found a use. Looks cool as a car, doesn’t it?? The lady comes from the FCD Women in Character set. The music note comes from the Karaoke Star set.



You know the drill on the circular hops by now: keep hopping till you come back full circle, no matter where you started from. Blog candy chances are good through 8Pm EST Monday, 6/21 – just enter comments on all the blog spots. A winner will be randomly chosen from the comments from one of the blogs.

Now, please continue your travellin journey over to: Chrissy!!

As always, thanks for stopping by! Happy Stampin'!
