Going in Circles

It's time for another challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. Challenge #75 is to do circles so I'm using my Spellbinders circle and scallop circle nestabilites. My Grafico furnished the Design Team digi images with all kinds of circles  this week. They are from the Doodle Flowers Digital Stamp Set found here.  I chose this pretty flower and the circle sentiment to work with. I really like houndstooth and I thought it looked good with the kraft and olive green. I made some pennants (hand cut) for the side using the dbl sided paper and added a gemstone to each. My ribbon finished it off.

We hope you'll come along and join the fun this week. Show us what you like to do with circles.

Friends of Speedy TV - Happy Anniversary

I can't believe it is Monday again all ready and time for Mark's Finest Papers Friends of Speedy TV's second challenge. This week our challenge is to make an anniversary card. This is an easy card but I made it take forever and ever. I tried  an embellishment I really wanted to use. No, it would not work. After a day or two of fooling around with this card, I went back to the beginning...isn't that the way it always goes? This should have been, could have been, and would have been a 10-15 minute card...tops.

I am using a Mark's Finest Papers stamp set called Just Dandy. Love those dandelions. My sentiment is from MFP Happy Pansies.  The border punch is Martha Stewart called Eyelet Lace. I'm using PTI white cardstock and a black cardstock from Hobby Lobby.

Hope you'll come over to MFP Speedy TV and join our challenge.

A Rose is a Rose

This week at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Blog Challenge #133, Silke issued the challenge and  it is all about Bingo. That happens to be my favorite kind of challenge with so many choices.

I decided to go with the top, right row going down to the bottom left...a shaped card, pearls, and a charm. I'm using  the June Rose from A Year of Flowers 2
stamp set. They are all so wonderful for coloring. My card shape is from Spellbinders Grand Labels Four  and cut with the Grand Calibur. 

Short and sweet post today...have a hair appointment...rush, rush.
