Speedy's Friends Challenge #53

Hi everyone!!! Lots to tell ya!! But first Speedy's challenge this week is hosted by Vicki and she has ask us to make a card and use a hat pin. Real easy, I just put one of these really cute hat pin that Faith has in her store. The image for this card is from the newly released set "In My Mother's Garden" by Mark's Finest Papers. I colored the images with Prisma Pencils and sponged with Memento ink. All the supplies used in this card can be found at MFP.


Hope you can play along with us this week and get a chance to win a free stamp set. You can find out more info about the challenge here.

Some news I want to share with you all, is that Faith of Mark's Finest Papers has started our own social network. It's called Home of Speedy TV. We all are very excited about this as it gives us a place to share our creativity with you and you can share yours with us, make lots of new friends, shop, you can even chat right on the main page. She even has a place you can post a photo of your pet and it's free. Hope you can come and see us and feel free to add me as a friend.

A little note about my shoulder: I had my MRI and I do have calcium depoist (bone spurs) and will have to have them removed, not sure when that will be yet but will keep you posted. Thanks for your support.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Speedy's Friends Challenge #52

Hiya!! We are celebrating our one year anniversary here at Speedy's Friends!!!! So Vicki's challenged for us to make a Congrats/Anniverary card, Easy peasy.
Lucky for me I already had this image colored before I hurt my shoulder so a little layering and it was done!! Yay!! I'm still improving just not fast enough for me. I'm having a MRI on Monday so they can see better what happened to my shoulder, the doctor thinks bone spurs may be the problem. So will know more next week. Thank you all so much for your well wishes!!


The image is from the newly released set " Bearded Iris" and sentiment is from "Happy Pansies" both by Mark's Finest Papers. The image was colored with Prisma pencils. The beautiful script DP is from 7 gypsies ( collection from the journey). Card stock and cording is MFP.

I also wanted to mention that MFP is having a birthday card swap over at SCS. I have never participated in a swap before but this seems like a lot of fun and Faith is giving all that participates a mini stamp set, you can see it on my side bar, click it to see info on the swap.

Have a great week-end and thanks for stopping by.

Oil Painting

Hi stampers, I want to thank you you all for the sweet comments and well wishes you have been sending me. Everyday is better, I'm able to lift my arm some now, I even tried to color a little today but still hurts to do that, I know I shouldn't try to push it. But it's is so boring not being able to stamp.!!! A couple of weeks ago I ran across this old oil painting I did back in 1989, it is done on rag paper.Not sure why I never finished this but as I don't have a card to share I thought you would like to see it.


Thanks again for all your support!! I'll keep ya posted on how it's going.

Birthday Iris

Hi everybody!! Here is a card I made for the color challenge over at Stamp TV. I'm so into flowers lately, just can't get enough. The Lilac Bush outside my kitchen window is budding out, hope it not too soon because yet again it is snowing and freezing!! But it not suppose to be much, gone in a flash the weatherman said!! Hope he is right as I have to go over the mountain and into the valley to have some tests done. (Sounds like a song).LOL.
Anyhow, about my card, I used the wonderful illustrated set by Theresa Momber " Warm With Love" by Gina K. Designs.


I colored the Iris with Prisma pencils and cut it out. I layered a piece on Vellum DP by Webster Pages over GKD Cre'me De Menthe CS.
Card stock and ribbon is GKD
M.S. Punch and Prima flower.
Oval Nestabilities.

Hope your week is going well and thanks for stopping by.

Speedy's Friends Challenge #49

Hiya, can you believe it is time for another challenge at Speedy's Friends. The challenge this week is spotlighting a animal. For my card I used the image from " Big Cats" by Mark's Finest Papers.I decided on this one because it is such a great image colored or left uncolored. I stamped the Tiger on glossy CS for my spotlight. Colored it with copic's . Stamped the image again on MFP 100lb. CS by MFP. The sponging was with Memento Desert Sand. DP is DCWV .


Hope you get a chance to play this week and check out the fabulous samples the rest of the team has done, you can see them here.

Have a great week end and good luck on the challenge.
I also want to give a shout out to one of my friends and fellow teammate Lois (Clownmom on SCS). She is the Queen for the Day on SCS. I'm hoping to case one of her beautiful cards tomorrow, you can view her gallery here. Congratulations Lois!!
