Please Hop along with us!! You have a chance to win one of these new stamp sets! Just comment on the design team members' blogs (don't forget this one) each day for more chances to win! ( You do NOT need to comment on on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly.) The winner will be announced on April 04, 2015,  on the MFP Stamp Shop Blog. You can go back and comment if you missed a day. (HINT: The more you comment the more chances you have to win. And comments on the MFP blog count twice.) The deadline for commenting is Friday, April 03, 2015, at 10:00 PM EST.

The background for my first card today is polished stone.  If you've never done this technique, click here for my tutorial on this fun background.  When I was in Joann last week, I picked up a package of nautical embellishments -- specifically for this sailing ship, which I thought would be appropriate for a "pirate" card.

For my second card I actually paper-pieced the bandanna for the skull and cross bones, using a similar scrap of patterned paper as the background.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from another MFP Stamp Shop set, Island Life.

Please visit the rest of the team members' blogs and comment for a chance to win a free stamp set. Here's the Design Team:
