Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge - CCEE Challenge

I made this card for the Speedy TV Inspiration challenge  and for the CCEE Stampers Blog.
The CCEE challenge is  a recipe which contains use pearls, dry embossing, wet embossing, flowers and a image of a person.   I think I have all of those.  I embossed the lady and when I colored her face with copics, it smeared the black ep.  After three times, I embossed another image and used colored pencils.  I have embossed before and used copics without a problem so I don't know what the problem was there.

The Speedy TV Inspiration challenge is all about cute flower pots this week.   I like the picture of the barrels made into flower pots.   I had nothing to use for the barrel so I used a trash can to plant my flowers in.  The embossed lady standing behind the trash can is checking  her flowers to see if they need water or TLC.

Here are the Inspiration pictures for this week:



I hope you can find time to join us this week.  I am happy you stopped by.  Come back again soon.

Speedy TV - Inspiration Picture

The Speedy Fox challenge was to make a card using an inspiration picture.   Have you ever started out making a card look like something in your mind and then add so many things that it no longer looked the way it was suppose to?   If so, you will understand where I ended up this week with my card.
I started out using gelatos on my white card stock and if I had stopped there, this card might have looked more like the inspiration picture.    I decided to add some fans and the ribbon.   Okay, I wasn't happy with that so I added the image.   The only problem is it doesn't look much like the inspiration piece.

Here is the inspiration picture and you can say, "What was she thinking?"-LOL

Thanks, for coming by today and I hope you will decide to join us for the challenge.

Speedy TV Inspiration Challenge and the CCEE Stampers challenge

The CCEE Stampers challenge this week is to make a spring or fall scene.  I made clouds for my spring time chickens and used a onion sack across the image to give a chicken wire look. 

This week we are using the theme of "Chicken Wire" for the Inspiration challenge over at Speedy TV.    It is amazing when you think of the many uses of chicken wire.  In our pictures this week, the chicken wire is used for cupboards.  Instead of replacing glass, they have added the wire.  No more worries of broken glass, it is a cheap fix and it looks really nice, too.

Here are the pictures:


I hope you will join us for the challenge.  Thanks, for coming by today.

Squigglefly-Ribbons and Bows

The challenge over at Squigglefly blog today is to make a card using ribbons and bows.  Since I chose to do a larger image,  I chose to make a small bow with a button.   I planned my card around the orange bow.  I had no idea I was going to put pink and green colors with it for my Easter eggs, but I kind of liked those colors once I saw the finished project.   I originally had planned pastel colors.  The Squigglefly image I used is by Pamela Lehto called "Three Easter Eggs".
