JUGS228

Firstly I should thank Angie for the inspiration for this card - Thank you Angie.

I have used 3 background images from Marks Finest Papers on my spring flowers which are all die cuts made with Spellbinders dies as is the trellis.  I used Memento inks to stamp with and then other Memento inks to sponge.  The sets I used are called Works of Art (Yellow flowers), Love Script (Pink flowers) and Just a Note (Lilac flowers)  The sentiment is a pre done one from a bunch given to me some time ago.  The border was punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

I am entering this card in this week's JUGS challenge - JUGS228.

This picture shows the stamping detail.

I am thinking Spring even if it has been raining again today!

FOSTV98 - Torn Paper

This week's challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to make a card or other project using torn paper.  I added another to my Christmas card collection. I used Distress Inks and the "Just a Note" set on the background torn piece.  The lamp and sentiment are from the set called "Poinsettia Blooms".  

The die for my fern is from Impression Obsession and I tucked it under my lamp.  Please check out the challenge over at FOSTV and join us this week.

Thanks for popping in today - please come back the rest of the week as it is Blog Hop week.  For a look at the 5th set and the mini released this month please see the post below.

 

FOSTV66 - Song / Book / Film

This week's Friends of Speedy TV challenge is to be inspired by a song, a book or a film.  I am afraid I took the easy route and used umbrellas. 

The song that springs to mind is Umbrella by Rihanna.  The movies that came in to my head were Mary Poppins and Singing in the Rain.

My first card is therefore Mary Poppins - a large umbrella cut with my Cricut and mounted on acetate.  I used lots of paper scraps with the set Rain Clouds.

 

My second card is Singing in the Rain and uses more umbrellas plus some music from the set Just a Note.

Please play along with our challenge this week.  You will find it over at Speedy TV and it is FOSTV66.  There is a stamp set for the winner and when I find out which one it is I will add it here.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you have a creative week.

FOSTV54 - Thank You card

Well I don't know about you but I have quite a few Thank You's I need to write after Christmas. We never take our tree down on 12th night - only when all the gifts are gone and I make mine last - LOL!!!  I need at least 9 or 10 thank you cards so I have two to share with you today as part of this week's Friends of Speedy TV challenge - we would love you to join in too.  Even if you have been super efficient and done all your Christmas Thank You cards you are going to need another for something else soon!

My first card uses an Inchie on a Twinchie surrounded by some glitter.  I have used the small poinsettia from Christmas Selections and the Thank You from Nature's Pansies Mini.   

 
My second card, again with glitter, uses the sets called Just a Note and Peaceful Nuthatch, a beautiful set. 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the teams cards this week and if you play along with us (Challenge 54) you could win the set called Be Wild and Free which Gail used.



Thanks for checking this out.  Back soon....
