Today I'm hopping with:
The theme is: Tool Time
I have to say, when I first saw the theme I was a bit stumped. I don't have any tool stamps at the moment, so I wasn't sure how I could join the hop. Then I realised that everyone has 'tools of the trade' regardless of their 'trade'. Accountants have computers, books, calculators etc. Florists have flowers, scissors, vases, paper etc.
I went and checked my stamp sets again. Textures & Frames caught my eye as I haven't yet removed the retired Sale-A-Bration sets. I could make an easel and an artist's pallet!
My card's a bit abstract, but I had heaps of fun making it!!
