Speedy Fox and Friends - Torn Paper

Hi, it is time for another challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends.  As I was working on my card for this challenge, I was also doing the Queen for the Day at Splitcoast Stampers.   Stamper Robin was the Queen so I was casing her gallery.   I found a card where she had used Mulberry paper and I cased   her card.   I had forgotten all about Mulberry Paper.   I took and wet the paper in the shape of the heart doily and then did the tearing.  It has been so many years since I have done that technique and I still have a lot of Mulberry paper to use.  For my card, I used the Mark's Finest Paper Stamp set "Family".
Thanks, for coming by today.

Speedy TV Inspirational Challenge - Surf City - Here we come

I am really liking the challenge over at Speedy TV Inspiration challenge.    We are taking a inspirational trip to "Surf City" for the month of February.  I think there might be so much fun we just might have to add another week for this.   Now some of you may have heard of Surf City.  Long ago, in the olden days,  there were popular songs about this hot spot.  The groups "Jan and Dean" and "The Beach Boys" had some really cool surfing songs.   Huntington Beach CA is the town known as Surf City.   This town is also known for "Woodies", which is a now "classic" car with wood paneling on the sides, surfing and surfboards.    Oh, how I wish I had been older in that era and in Surf City with "Jan and Dean".  

Here is a real cool video for you to watch:

Here are the inspiration pictures:

Does this just not look like a great place to be?   If you think so,  come on over to Speedy TV Inspirational challenge and join in our fun.

CCEE Stampers - Paper Mosaic

The CCEE Stampers challenge is to make a card using the technique "Paper Mosaic".  I used punches, dies, scissors and an embossing folder to make it.  It sure seemed funny not using any stamps except on the inside.

Twisted Sisters-Coffee Challenge

Here is a card I made for an upcoming Twisted Sisters challenge to make a coffee card.
I think this is my favorite House Mouse Stamp ever.   I sure had fun giving the image a little twist by making it a "Love" card.   Perfect for any lovely  occasion,  I think.

Thanks, for coming by today and take a peek at my card.

Challenges:
Twisted Sisters-Make a coffee card
House Mouse-Make a Love card
Through the Craft room Door-Anything goes
Artistic Inspirations-Anything goes

Squigglefly Challenge - Use Red and PInk

The challenge for the Squigglefly blog today is use red and pink.   Wow, that makes it sound like it should be a Valentine card.  ~grin~    It is definitely time to get your cards done, you only have 11 more days before your "Sweetheart' is going to expect a card from you.   I used a new
Squigglefly image by Pamela Lehto called "Valentine Cupcake".  This image and many more were released in the Squigglefly store on Saturday.  Be sure and take a look, you will find some wonderful images this month.  I definitely like this cupcake, it is cute and it was easy to color.   My cupcake has glitter on it, but it does not show up in the picture.

Thanks, for coming by today.
