Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge-Scraps

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers. The challenge this week is to use your scraps. I know I don't look like I have a lot of scraps here but let me explain.

My Mark's Finest Papers Cardinals in Winter is actually a scrap from something I intended to do but didn't. I was going to decorate a jar with them and didn't. So I decided to make this card with them. This image is layered. I cut a Cardinal out of one of the images and layered it on top for dimension. The Poinsettia is a result of playing with my new die set. I was trying to decide how to layer and enhance the Poinsettia and these were laying on my craft table. I decided to marry these with the cardinals. The gold leaves are from leftovers from something else I was working on.The Products used on the card:
Mark's Finest Papers-Cardinals in Winter
Spellbinders: Layered Poinsettia, Parisian Accents, Labels 4
Ribbon, Recollection Gold Dots, Gold Stickles, Gold Leaves, Gold Martha Stewart Micro Beads

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will be able to join us in our challenge. Have a great weekend!

Heartfelt Creations

Here is the first card that I created for evaluation for getting on the design team. It is made with the Heartfelt Creations Jean Pocket/Ball Can precut Stamp Set and the Daisy Heartfelt Creations Daisy Exclusive Die and Daisy Precut Stamp Set.
This was my second entry for consideration for the design team. This was made with the Heartfelt Creations Jean Pocket/Ball Can Pre-cut Stamp Set and the Daisy Pre-cut Stamp Set and Exclusive Heartfelt Creations Die Set.
Here is a quick post today to announce that I made the Heartfelt Creations Design Team. I am honored to be selected to participate. I met the people from Heartfelt Creations at the CKC I went to in Jacksonville in September. I took a couple of their classes and they announced they were looking for people for their Design Team. Also, my friend Cheryl Walker who was on the team emailed me to say she thought I should tryout-so I did. I am late getting this up as I got a cold a week ago Thursday. I was feeling better by my Birthday Oct 25 but the next morning I work up I could not breath. I went to the doctor and my blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen level was all mess up. I have asthmatic bronchitis. Breathing better now but not up to myself.

Welcome to day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop. Today we are showing you gift boxes. My gift box was made using the Mark's Finest Papers Country Thanksgiving image.

This is the inside which shows the box I created to house six tea lights that match the box. The sunflowers are from Mark's Finest Papers and are a part of the Country Thanksgiving set.
I stamped the sunflower on tissue paper and colored it then make a little hole in the center for the wick and placed them on top of the tea light. To seal you just use your heat gun to melt them into the wax a little bit. I sprinkled some glitter on top of mine as well. I did test these out in a votive holder. I didn't have a problem to it got to the very end and then the paper caught on fire...lol Just a word of caution should you decided to make these.

Thanks for stopping by today. We have one more day for the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop. This is my last project for the hop. I hope you have enjoyed what I had to share with you.

Speedy the Cat's Challenge 78-Alter Project

This weeks challenge at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge was to make a 3-D project from the one of the six that have been shown so far in the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop. Faith has issued the challenge this go round. My project is a bit late as I have been under the weather and just getting by getting up and going to work each day and coming home and going to bed. Today I am feeling better at least!
My project it made with a jar votive that I found at my local "Dollar Store". I removed the labels and created my own with the Spellbinders fancy tags. The image is from Mark's Finest Papers and is called Ginger Cookies. I used puff paint on the frosting part and sprinkled with glitter. The ribbon was something I found at the CKC that I went to in September. The mint was made with a Martha Stewart Punch. The top has a Prima Poinsettia that I had in my stash.

Please join us in this fun challenge. You will be able to get some Christmas gifts started if you do! Hope to see you at Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge!
