My first card is not only to show off the new MFP stamps, it is also for the CCEE challenge. Anne Harmon (a member of the MFP design team) is the hostess for August. Her challenge today was to use markers directly on the stamp. I love the big oak tree from today's set. I used several shades of Memento markers on my tree and stamped it on white cardstock. Then I colored in with one of the paler shades. I stamped a couple of images from the MFP Scenic Selections set in my little backyard scene.
My second card is another CAS one. I used a piece of photographic designer paper for the background and did a little doodling around my palm trees. I have a tree just like this one in my back yard. It may look like three trees, but in reality they all come from the same root -- the two smaller ones are offshoots of the main tree.
Thanks again for visiting my blog. I hope you have been getting some inspiration this week. Be sure to check out the rest of the team's creations.

Love your scene card and those palm trees look so real! Cool CAS!
Your window scene card is great and I love the doodled border on the palmtree card, cheers Linda
What a great scene on your first card using different sets. Love the second CAS card and that doodling looks great for a frame.
Both cards are great. Love the scenic view out the window, it is beautiful. I like the doodling around your palm trees. Great job.
Love both of your cards, I love the hello sentiment in this set.
Great cards, Lois! I feel like I am looking out of my sister's window! Love the frame around the palms.
Very pretty tree cards--I really like the window scene.
I love that tree too! Pretty cards, love the window!
Love the idea of the window and looking out at the tree - great idea and the background paper on the palm tree card was perfect!
Very pretty cards. I like how you have the one OUTSIDE your window!
Tree-mendous cards. Like your coloring of markers directly on the stamp. I need more practice at doing that.

What a lovely view through the window - that tree is gorgeous. We were looking after my aunt's dogs for the weekend, and when I pulled the curtain back this morning to see a blue sky and sunshine outside, there was a lovely green tree there too :D.
these are fabulous, but I esp. like the palm tree ones...that bkgd just makes the trees pop
