Speedy Fox And Friends - Use Mesh

Today's Speedy Fox challenge is to use mesh.  I have had this mesh material in my stash for quite a long time.  I thought this was the perfect challenge to use it.   The Mark's Finest Paper stamp set I used is called "Presents".  I hope you will be able to join us for the challenge.

Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge - Ladders

This week for the Speedy TV Inspiration challenge,  I chose pictures of ladders and some ways to use them as home decor.   I actually have an old ladder that I used to hang towels on in my whirlpool room.
(They are in the very same theme and colors as the card above)  I never thought of it in time or I would have used a picture of my ladder for this challenge.  I decided to use a long card so I could put the ladder on it with the hear and star decoration.  My blue star does not show up very well in the blue.  I used the Mark's Finest Paper stamp set called "Be Proud".

Be sure and come over to the Speedy TV Inspiration challenge  and take a look at our pictures and the other team member's cards.  I would love it if you joined us by uploading your card to Mr. Linky.

Here is the door I received my inspiration from:

Squigglefly Challenge - Make a One Layer Card

This week Rhonda challenged us to make a one layer card for the Squigglefly challenge.   Do you know how hard that is?  Well, for me, it was pretty hard.  I am really computer challenged and I could not get my printer to print the image in the middle of the card stock.  I stewed over this for two weeks trying to decide what to do.  On Friday night,  I finally found this image that was made to print it across the card stock.  I used the Squigglefly image by Diana Garrison called "Birds On A Wire".   I hope you will join us for the challenge.

Spliltcoast Mix Challenge - Circles

The Mix challenge at Splitcoast this week was to make circles.  We could fingerprint them, draw or stamp them.  I started out spraying my water color paper with Tattered Angel spray mist. I then stamped circles in Stazon black. I stamped circles with the white craft pad and drew circles with a white gel pen. Now you see I cannot draw circles and that is why I am wannabcre8tive (on Splitcoast Stampers).   Next time I will find something to draw around. I cut the flower with my silhouette. I sponged the petals with Bermuda Bay ink.

Speedy Fox and Friends - Flower Pots

The Speedy Fox and Friends challenge for today is "Flower Pots".   I used the Mark's Finest Paper stamp set called "Dogwood Blossoms" and I paper pieced two of my flowers to match my pot.  After looking at my card here on the blog, I should have used black dotted paper on one of them to make it pop.  It has been a busy week for me and I was just lucky to get a card made.

I do hope you will be able to join us for the challenge.

Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge #67



Tomorrow starts another Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge and here is my card for it.  I created it using the Bandana Technique.  My white dots do not show up well, but you start out making bigger dots and reduce the size of them toward the end of the image or at least that was what I read about this technique.  I started out by sponging my paper, then stamping the dragon flies followed by the white dots.  I used the Mark's Finest Paper stamps called "Dragonflies" and "Works of Art".  I entered this card in the Queen for the Day challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  The card I cased had the bandana technique on it so that is why I chose this technique.  Below you will find the inspiration pictures:






I hope you will head on over to the Speedy TV Inspiration challenge to enter your card.

Thanks, for coming by.
