Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge- 12 Days of Christmas

Hello it is time for another challenge from Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge. This week we are joining in on the 12 Days of Christmas Hop that Mark's Finest Papers is having. For my project I chose to do an acetate box. I had one on hand that I had bought a few years ago and used it.

This is super simple and quick to make. I took a strip of card stock that was 12 inches long and then wrapped it around the box to get where I needed to score for the folds. I wrapped that with some jute ribbon. For the focal piece I used this wonderful winter scene from Christmas in the Country from Mark's Finest Papers. I colored with copics and then sponged in the sky. I finished up by matting it and then attaching it to the band. 

I hope you can play along with us this week.  One person will win a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers and if you use a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers you will get your name put in twice.  Thank you for stopping by.

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 71~ Bring on the Bling

Hello I hope you had wonderful week. I have been holding on to some very exciting news for more than a month now.  Some of you may have notice a few changes on my blog that give away my news.  I have to say that I have had a hard time not spilling the beans.  I am now on Speedy the Cat's Challenge team.  I am over the moon excited.  I would like to thank Faith and Patty for allowing me this wonderful opportunity.  When I first started stamping about 5 years ago Faith was one of the very first stampers that I noticed and I have followed her every since.  Her cards are always gorgeous and she has been designing stamps now for awhile and I love them.    Sorry for babbling, you are here to see what the challenge is this week.  This week the challenge is to bring on the bling, I love this.  I started with Hello Sunshine and stamped the sun and colored it with copics.  I love a red and yellow color combo.  Next I scored a diamond grid with my scor-buddy.  After matting the top yellow panel and the red bottom panel on black I tied the black gingham ribbon and added a button with a twine bow.  My finally step was to add the little red rhinestones.  I seemed like it may be a bit tedious, but it really wasn't.  We would love for you to play along, so grab some bling and head over to Mark's Finest Papers and enter. If you do enter you will have a chance to win a stamp set, how cool is that.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend.

Happy 4th Of July!!!!

Happy 4th Of July!!!! I hope you having a fabulous day.  I have been spending a bunch of time with my family ans was able to squeeze in a little stamping and made this card for Speedy the Cat's challenge this week to make a Patriotic project.  I love this badle eagle image from Mark's Finest Papers.  Speaking of bald eagles I was kayaking on Saturday and was able to see a young bald eagle pretty close up.  He was perched on a branch of a tree posing for photos.  I wasn't able to get a clear photo as I was in my kayak flaoting and the sun was behind the eagle.  It was awesome to see.  He is young so not all of the white has came in yet.
 Here is a photo sorry that it is blurry.
