My tag card today is a double diagonal pocket card -- with two tags.  My late husband was an avid fisherman, although he liked salt water fishing rather than fly fishing.  But I'm sure he would have approved of  today's set.   When I think of fly fishing, I usually think of a cold mountain stream; so I went onto the internet to find a photo that would work for the front of my card.  After I printed it, I cut it down to fit.  I also checked out the internet to see how to color this wide-mouth bass.

Today on Speedy TV, Pat Garvin has a tutorial on the faux brick technique.  When I first saw the name of her tutorial (prior to her posting the actual directions), I erroneously thought it was going to be the same as a tutorial I had seen some time ago -- and I made this card, using the peaceful mountain scene from today's set.  Though quite time-consuming, this faux brick wall makes an interesting look. 

After I read the tutorial, I saw that it was not the same one I had seen previously.  So I've got an extra card today -- made with Poinsettia Blooms (Wednesday's set).  Be sure to check out Pat's tutorial on Speedy TV.  The inks I used for my bricks were Tim Holtz Antique Linen and Weathered Wood.

I hope you have gotten more than a few ideas this week from our talented design team.  We thank you for stopping by when you had the chance -- and be sure to comment on as many blogs as you can for more chances to win a free stamp set.
