Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge~~Green

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone!!!  I know I'm a day early, but hey, I'm Irish, so I'm starting my celebration early!  :-) 

This week's challenge for Speedy Fox & Friends is to make a card using GREEN.  I decided to use MFP Smashed Peas paper for the base of my center step card.  The stamp set is a set that was released by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co last month called "Hum Along".  I hope you'll join us this week for the challenge.

Stamps:  Hum Along
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Smashed Peas by MFP, "Annalee" paper pad by Prima
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  Sakura Star Dust pen, hummingbird charm, Copics

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend!

Speedy Fox & Friends challenge~~Shaped Card

Today's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge is to make a shaped card; anything but a square or rectangle card.  I came up with this egg shaped card by using my Cricut and my Art Philosophy cartridge.  I really like how it came out.  I think I'm going to send it to my BFF & her husband for Easter.  I used the mini stamp set called "Spring Joy" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  All supplies for this card can be purchased at Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. 

Stamps:  Spring Joy
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Markie's Strawberry Milk, Aged Berry by MFP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  pearls

I hope you'll play along with us this week for Speedy's challenge!  You could be our lucky winner!

Lots of Luck to You

Today's Free 4 All challenge over on SCS was to use eyelets.  I had to use some of my shamrock eyelets on this card!  The stamp set is a new one by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Lots of Luck".  Then I found the cut little ribbon piece in my stash!  Wow, what good luck I had with my card today.  LOL  I created the background with the shamrock stamps that are in the stamp set.

Stamps:  Lots of Luck
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Lily Pad by MFP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  shamrock eyelets, Copics, ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card!

Frog with Umbrella

This center step card will be a get well card for one of my clients.  I colored him with Copics, and cut out the cloud and popped it up with pop dots.  I added some rain drop brads under the cloud.  I think he turned out pretty cute.  This is one of the newly released stamp sets by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Rain Clouds".

Stamps:  Rain Clouds
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, yellow, green, DSP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  rain drop brads, umbrella brads

Thanks for stopping by today.  It's snowing here, and it's suppose to snow throughout the day, so I haven't decided whether to go into the office or work from home today.  We could get up to 8" of snow according to the weather report.  We'll see......

Happy Stamping!

Our challenge for Speedy Fox & Friends this week is "My State".  The challenge is to stamp something that represents your state.  Since I live in Virginia, and the dogwood is our state flower I thought the "Dogwood Blossoms" set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. was perfect.

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Pink Pirouette, Bella Rose DSP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Pink Pirouette
Misc:  Spectrum Noir pens, nesties, ribbon, hat pin

I hope you'll join us for the challenge this week, and show us something from your state!
