Speedy the Cats Friends Challenge # 79

This week we are using only scraps to make our cards. All images and paper scraps were on my desk including the card base. The deer image is left over from my Coasters project and the holly is left over from my Altered frame. All the paper was used in something this last week that I had made. Didn't have to look for anything. And now my desk is a little cleaner. That's a good thing. Stamps from Marks Finest Papers. I decided to do the Spotlight technique to hi-light the deer.

Autumn Challenges

Haven't had much time for stamping this week. Thanks to a mouse who ate the PVC pipes in the bathroom I'm getting a new floor and that put me into cleaning mode as my husband is in destruction mode. Vicious circle. So Spring cleaning came early. But today I need some stamping time. This card is for the Friends of Speedy TV Challenge #4, Harvest theme. I'm also using it for 2 challenges at SCS. Fridays Way to use it, LEAVES WT346 and Wednesdays Sketch SC356. Stamps are from Marks Finest Papers.

Speedy the Cats Friends Challenge # 78

For this challenge we are altering items to give as Christmas Gifts. I got this set of coasters at Micheals. They are back with the frames.  A little pricey but I got them for 50% off which made them just right for me. They are real heavy and have this base that houses them. A great gift and the picture can be changed out by season or whenever simply by slipping them into place. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the base.  Stamps and ribbon from Marks Finest Papers.

                                         Check out the Challenge blog for lots of great gift ideas.

Cupcakes for everyone

I have combined several challenges in this card. The Stampin Bs challenge was to use Scoring. The stamp set is a new set from MFP called Birthday Mini. Colored with Copics and added stickles to the frosting.

The colors used are for the SCS CC345 (pink, dk pink & green). The cup cake is for the SCS CAS140 (clean & simple card cupcake theme).

This week the theme is "seeing double". Use an image twice on your project. I used the set Holly Greetings. The owl is colored with pencil, the holly leaves with Copics and the wreath and sentiment with Distressed inks.  Be sure to check out the other DT members items and don't miss the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop which starts on Monday the 17th.
