Speedy's Friends Challenge #59

Hiya! Hope this week is going well for you. Time for another challenge at Speedy's Friends. Just in time for Father's Day. Yep , that's the challenge make a Father's Day card or project for dear old dad. A few weeks back Joanne Travis posted a gorgeous card (shirt w/tie), now I have seen them around lots of times and decided to try my hand at it. I had a hard time deciding on which way to go, so many possible ways, that I made two.
The stamp set is " African Veldt" by Mark's Finest Papers.



On this one I added this adorable charm from MFP as tie tac, I thought it was a little large for it, but went with it anyway.


The card stock for both cards are from MFP. Hope you can join in the fun and you can find info on the challenge here.
For all you dads and Granddads have a Happy Father's Day!!
Thanks for stopping by.

Speedy's Friends Challenge #58

Good morning!! Time for another challenge at Speedy's Friends. This week is a easy one, just have a paper or silk flower on your card. For my sample I pulled out one of my favorite stamps by Mark's Finest Papers, " Gerber Daisy". Colored it with Copic's. I made the flower out of 3 daisy flowers from Prima , leaves are from "Autumn Fun" I even made up extra's as you never know when you will need a leaf or two for a flower and this leaf is gorgeous. I cut the wire off of some roses that Faith sent and wrapped it around my paper piercer for the curly things. The inspiration for my flower corsage came from that beautiful Prima DP. All the supplies used to make this card came from MFP.


We would love for you to join us and show us your gorgeous creations. You could even win a stamp set from MFP. You can find more info on this challenge Here.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Hiya fellow stampers!! Sorry I haven't been on here much, I had a set back with my shoulder by over doing it!!! I know, and now I'm paying for it. I'll be glad when I can get this taken care of!!
My project here is a desk calender I made using a acrylic photo frame I got at the dollar store. I have seen these done before but couldn't remember where. So I don't have a link for info on it. Sorry.
It's a 4x6 frame, I downloaded the calender off the web. My DH drilled the little holes for me and it is held on with brads. My DH loves old classic cars of any kind and I'm giving him this for his desk. A Father's Day's gift. LOL. The image was colored with copic's.

Be sure to check out the rest of our very talented team for more wonderful ideas on using this great set!
