FOSTV #153

Hello Everyone.  Thanks for joining me today.  I know this is a late post, but I completely forgot.  My poor memory isn't what she used to be. :)

Today starts a new challenge over at The Friends of Speedy TV challenge page at Mark's Finest Papers.  Our theme this week is DIE CUTS/PUNCHES.  There are so many creative things you can do with this theme.  Can't wait to see what y'all create.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful week and God bless.

MFP Sketch with a Twist Challenge #112

Good Morning, friends.  Welcome to another challenge at MFP Sketch with a Twist.  Thank you to all those who joined us last week.  We had some wonderful cards.

Here's this week's sketch:

I used the buttons on these snowmen to meet the requirement of the twist..simply because I forgot to add them...lol  This is a new set from MFP for August called, "BRRRR"  The papers are from MME.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

MFP's Simple Salutations Challenge #110

Welcome to MFP's Simple Salutation's new challenge.  Our theme this week is "YOUR A DOLL." We want to see your paper doll stamps put to good use.  I wasn't to sure about these stamps when I received my first set as a DT Member, but the more I use them, the more I like them.  I know not everyone has these stamps sets, so if you don't, please use an image showing a doll of some kind.  You can also purchase the paper dolls stamps set here.

I found these cute gemstone snowflakes in my Christmas basket.  I don't have a clue how long ago I bought these, but I did manage to use up some stash making this card.  

The paper's look green, but they are actually a turquoise color.  My camera does some funny things sometimes.

Thank you for joining us today.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Welcome back to my blog, friends.  So happy to see ya.  Today is Tuesday and that starts a new challenge over at Clear It out.  Our entries last week were amazing.  If you joined in, thank you so much.  If not, how about joining us this week?

I chose to use "Victorian Winter Emily" as my image for this card.

Isn't she precious?  I love her, and not just because we share the same name..:)  I could see myself living back in the days where we dressed like this.  Gone with the Wind is right up my alley as far as the clothing goes.  I'm not so sure I would want to live without the running water and electricity though.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope y'all will consider joining in our challenge this week.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Good Morning, friends.  Welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by this Friday morn.  As we are still in the midst of our winter here in the USA, our new challenge for this week is "Winter Fun" and what is more fun than a frosty snowman?

This guy looks like he's fighting the snowflakes and wind.  I don't know if you can see it very well, but I embossed the background with tons of snowflakes using a pearl embossing powder.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Make sure to visit QKR Stampede for our new challenge and a link to the store so you can get this adorable snowman.

Challenge #70 at QKR Stampede

Hi there.  Sorry for the lateness of this post.  I had it written down wrong on my list.  Yeah, I can be a dingbat.  

Our first challenge of the new year  is "Snowflakes and Sparkles".  That leaves a lot open to interpretation.  The prize: 5 images from the store.

I used "Sledding Girl" and "Snowflakes" to create my card.

I think she is just the sweetest vintage image. When my daughter saw this card, she says to me, "Mom, they don't make sleds like that anymore.  I bet Grandma Joan had one of those."  Yes, Kierstynne, I bet she did.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great weekend.  God bless.
