Speedy Fox and Friends - Winter Card Candy

The theme this week for the Speedy Fox challenge is "Winter Card Candy".  No, it isn't real candy, but it is embellishments we call eye candy.  To qualify for this challenge, we have to make four pieces of candy to qualify.  I have a gingerbread man, a sentiment, stars and a piece of red scallop paper for mine.  Eye candy comes in handy when you need to make a quick card or tag.

Please join us for the challenge this week and let us see your winter candy.

Classy Cards N Such - Fall blessings


I have made a Fall card to share with you today.   I love Fall, it is my most favorite time of the year.   The colors are so beautiful.  There is nothing better than looking across my front lawn and seeing all the different color of leaves.   It looks like God has taken a paint brush and painted each one differently.  Wow,  what a masterpiece He makes.  The only thing I do not like about Fall is knowing that winter follows very closely.  Brrr-I am not looking forward to that.

I start my card by cutting a vanilla card base.    I used some olive paper to make a layer.  I embossed the olive paper and adhered it to the card base.   I cut three more layers for my card from vanilla, brown and orange card stock.   I used the Spellbinders Curved Border Die to make the beautiful curved cuts.  I adhered the three layers to the card.  I used the Impression Obsession Bare Tree Die to cut the tree from brown card stock.  I wanted some leaves on my card so I took the Memory Box Lavish Tree Branch die and cut  two branches from olive paper.   I used the olive leaves to glue to the tree.  I used orange ribbon to tie around the tree.  I selected a Our Daily Bread Ornate Frame Sentiment and stamped it on orange card stock.  I used a small oval punch to cut it out.   I used a larger oval punch to cut a brown oval.  I cut it in half and used it to use behind the sentiment.    I adhered the tree and oval sentiment to the card.   This finishes my card and I hope you liked it.


Thank you, for coming by to visit my blog and looking at my card.  Come back soon.

Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge - Unusual Snowmen

I made a snowman made of sand for the Unusual Snowman challenge over at Speedy TV Inspiration challenge.  I had so much fun with this challenge.  The funny thing is, I had no idea which picture I would pick to get inspiration from.  This card just came out of the blue.  I was starting to work on another challenge and this card just built itself in my little pee brain.  I ditched the other challenge and went to work on this card.   I love it, it just makes me smile.  I used several stamp set from Mark's Finest Paper to complete my card.  You can find the details and the inspiration pictures HERE.   You won't want to miss seeing these pictures, they are just too cute.

Thank you, for coming by today.   If you can find time, please join us for the challenge.
