Can I tell you that this is my favorite stamp set. It is perfect for those Christmas cards to the special people in you life. I made two cards today. One is a Waterfall card which you can find a tutorial here and the other is just a standard A2 card. There are so many AWESOME images and sentiments to this set that I couldn't fit them all into one card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today. Thanks for stopping and commenting. Have you ever wanted to ask the designers questions about their cards, but afraid to put it in the comments?

Tutorial Time On SpeedyTV Challenge 19 - Waterfall Card

Happy Friday!!! Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Never thought we would make it this far but here is to another 10.

Whoa what a week. Welcome to another episode of Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV. Previously on TTSTV we had distressing as our challenge and with such great response we are so elated.

My card today I am using "I'm Going Batty" from Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co's September stamp releases. Since I was so sick last month tonight was the first night this stamp set has seen ink. (it is resting now LOL) I was so nervous about doing this card I always thought it was too hard. But the tutorial we have for you this week was great to follow. I have had these brads for so long and what a better stamp set to use them on than this one. 

This weeks episode is brought to us by Jane Chambers who has created a fun and easy fancy fold card for use to create. It is called a Waterfall card. (click on the name of the name for the tutorial). For your inspiration one lucky winner will go home with this fabulous stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. This was fun for me and a card that I will make more often since it is so easy. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.

Now it is your turn to show us what you can create with this great tutorial. You will have until October 18th 11:00pm  to get your cards uploaded.. Remember if you use a Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamp set your submission will be entered twice. Please no back linking your submission must be current.

Thanks
