SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE #144

Welcome to this weeks challenge at MFPaHC!! I can't believe that another week as flown by so quickly. This week, we are "DOODLING FRAMES"!!! Now, personally, I am not much of a doodler. I stamped & colored my image quicker than I doodled the frame & I threw 2 away before I did this one. Surely we have some GREAT doodlers out there. Show us what you've got!!!



 
 
What I've used:

OOPSY DAISY stamp set
Memento Tuxedo Black ink & Copic markers
Black Pigma pen for the dooodle
Ribbon & card stock from my stash (I know I dig into my stash a lot, but after working at the LSS for almost 2 yrs. , I have a stash you wouldn't believe!!)

I hope that you have time to join us this week & HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

ALTERED FRAME PROJECT

Hell-o everyone!! Welcome to my blog. I think that I have a great project for you today. I LOVE to alter things. My house & garden are full of things that have been painted, papered, distressed or repurposed in one way or another. I grow honeysuckle on a gate from my grandmothers old fence. My "Shhhh..Herbs are growing" sign is painted on salvaged barn siding. Old thread spools provide seating in the fairy garden. And that's just before you hit the front door!!

I like doing these frames because they are simple, but really can pack a punch. You can make them to fit into any theme of decor &  they make great shower & birthday gifts.


 
 
 
You can find the tutorial for this frame here. I couldn't get it to load to my blog but I will keep trying.

Good morning! And welcome to my little corner of the world. It's been a pretty quiet weekend around here so I am ready to rev it up a bit. And being as it's MONDAY, it's time for a new challenge at FOSTV.

This weeks challenge is all about RIBBON & using it in the not so usual bow making way. Even tho I DID make a bow for my card, I also made ruffles & a rose as well.


 
 
I love to use this color combo!!

JOY JOY JOY stamp set for the sentiment
May Arts satin ribbons
Card stock from my stash

FOSTV CHALLENGE 54

Well, if it's Monday, it's time for a new challenge over at FOSTV. And this week we are making THANK YOU cards.


 
 
I didn't have a MFPaHC stamp that said "thank you", so that sentiment was computer generated. NATURE'S PANSIES mini stamp set would be perfect!

What I've used:
JUST A NOTE stamp set
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Card stock & ribbon from my stash

I hope that you have the time to play along with us this week. You will have the chance to win a great MFPaHC stamp set!!

 
HAPPY STAMPING!!!

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE #141

Welcome to this weeks challenge at MFPaHC!! This week we are going green. Yep--we are recycling Christmas cards that we recieved over the past holidays. Now for me, most of the cards that I recieved were either picture type cards or beautifully hand made cards. Sort of made my deciding which one to use a little easier.

So, here is my card for the week:


 
 
And here is what the original card looked like:




 
What I've used:

I inadvertently used a sentiment from a set that is no longer available
JOY JOY JOY stamp set offers lots of great options
Memento Tuxedo black ink
Paper & ribbon from my stash

Have a great week!! And HAPPY STAMPING!!!
