Flashback Friday PLUS a Treasure Hunt Blog Hop!!

Welcome to Flashback Friday!! I've got some cute cards to share.  There is also a great opportunity to participate in a LNS Treasure Hunt Blog Hop with a chance to WIN $150 in Stampin' Up! products!!  First, let me give you the low down on how to WIN BIG!





Just visit the blogs listed below and collect the clue from each one.  Once you have collected all the clues, e-mail me with your list and you will be entered for the BIG PRIZE!

My clue is:


Embossing Folder


 Houndstooth Embossing Folder
 




Here are my Flashback Friday cards, each card has embossing on the card base.















Remember this set, Ahoy Matey from 2006??  I just think this set is the cutest!!  I had such a fun time making these cards.  I have another design I made that will be shared on Sunday.  The background card stock is the retired Cool Caribbean embossed with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder.  I die cut glossy card stock with the Top Note Bigz Die and ran the matching map wheel over it.  The ship and the pirate were both stamped on glossy card stock as well with Black StazOn.  I used markers to color in the images.  I just love the contrast of the Cool Caribbean with the Basic black, Real red, and Crumb cake.

I hope you enjoyed seeing an oldie but goodie stamp set as much as I enjoyed making cards with it!!
Don't forget to follow the blog hop and collect all the clues.  I have all the links listed below.  Be sure to e-mail me with the clues once you've collected them all.  You have until May 12th to participate.  Plenty of time for you to visit each blog and look around a bit!!  the drawing for the BIG PRIZE of $150 of Stampin' Up! products will be announced on May 15th.

I am so loving this new thing--flashback Fridays! You are brilliant. I am thinking I may try doing it with you it on Friday too--makes me feel good to see all these darling older stamps. I love this card, the way you did the background on the Top Note is just perfect! Brilliantly done! Bravo, mate!

I love the names for your card challenge/post...see it saturday, flashback friday etc. I love some of the retired sets and a few I refuse to give up but don't use them as often, Flashback Fridays are a great idea to bring out the oldies but goodies! Thanks for your inspiration and participation in the hunt! Brenda

As I am new to stamping, your blog has listed so many new techniques: stamping in one place three times with one inking, shadow box cards, whitewashing look, a tutorial on the chalkboard technique, and introducing me to the Inschallenges blog spot. Enjoyed all of your cards!! BTW, thanks for the clue.
