SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE # 153

Boy! This month is coming quickly to an end. March may run out of days, but MPFaHC is not running out of challenges. This weeks challenge is a little unique. Your card must have an "A" on it or the stamp set that you use must start with an "A" or your sentiment must have "A's" in it. Confused yet? HaHa!! Tricky, aren't they?

Well, as soon as I saw what the challenge was, I knew what I was going to do.






Card is 5 x 5
LESSON LEARNED stamp set was used for the chalkboard
DP is all from Graphic 45 & was edged with TH Tea Dye Distress Ink
A+ was added with a white gel pen

I can't wait to see what everyone does for this one! HAPPY STAMPING!!!

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE # 152

Welcome!! Did everyone enjoy the March blog hop for the new releases? I sure hope so!! But, now it is time for a new challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company.

This week is all about BUNNIES!! Or EASTER. My project this time covers both.

My granddaughter-in-law teaches kindergarten & I usually take care of the holiday treats for her. Her plate is pretty full most of the time. So, I did 24 of these
little baskets of goodies.


.
 
They are filled with Kit Kats, Twix, Reese's peanut butter eggs & chocolate rabbits!! And I threw in a little grass just for fun.
 
 

 
SPRING THINGS stamp set (from our March release) was used for the bunny on the tag
Circle & scalloped punches, ribbon & a treat bag completed the project


I hope that you have a chance to play along this week!!  HAPPY STAMPING!!!

FOSTV CHALLENGE #64

Thanks for stopping by & taking a closer look at this weeks challenge card for FOSTV!! This one could get really interesting because there are so many ways to go about it. Something on your card must MOVE. Spin, rotate, slide, flip--it's all up to you.

  I chose to hinge mine so the top opens up to reveal the sentiment.


CLOSED
 


 
OPEN
 
 

The sentiment is from HUM ALONG
The dp is from Pink Paislee & has been sponged with TH distress inks in Antique Linen & Worn Lipstick
The flower that I used to create the hinge is from Tim Holtz & I added the color by dabbing on paint with my finger
I used a MS punch for the border

Can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE #150

Another Saturday, another great challenge from MFPaHC!!

This week is a really fun one! We challenge you to make a card that is neither rectangle nor square. Any other shape will do. My favorite shape to use is OVAL, but since I have done a few of those recently, I switched it up a bit & went ROUND. I also kept this one fairly CAS. (I made it for a friend & wanted to be able to mail it without much trouble.)






IVY & BLOSSOMS was used for the sentiment
Card stock & dp are from my stash
Spellbinder dies were used for the base & tags


Remember, playing along gives you a chance to win a new stamp set from MFPaHC!!!

HAPPY STAMPING!! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
