Speedy Fox and Friends #128 - Recipe

Hello Friends,

Welcome to another fun filled challenge with Speedy Fox and Friends. I have missed you all very much. I am sorry that I have not been participating in the challenges lately. I have been really sick and even had to have surgery. I am on the mend and am now able to stamp. WHOOO HOOO!!! My stamps have been crying for ink so they are happy today.

This week we are following a  1 -2- 3 Recipe. Here it is: Use 1 piece of ribbon, Use 2 different embossing folders and Use 3 punches or die cuts.  This week you are playing for this great stamp set. And what a great time to win this stunner. 


"Autumn Glory"




For my card this week I am using one of our September stamp releases "Holly Jolly Greetings". This was a fun challenge and made it much easier to come up with a card. 




We hope everyone enjoys this weeks challenge! We look forward to seeing your wonderful creations and commenting on your beautiful cards. You have until 3PM on Friday Oct. 12, 2012 to post your card. Please remember to link your card back to us or mention Speedy Fox and Friends or Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company in your blog post. And if you use MFP a Heinrich Company stamps your name will be entered into the drawing twice. Have fun and good luck.

Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV Challenge #14 - chalk and blender pens

Hello Everyone,

I know I haven't been around in a while and I am sorry for that, I have been dealing with some health issues. I hope to have a routine in place soon so that my stamping no longer suffers.

I realize that it is Sunday and not Friday which is our typical date for this challenge. I am sorry for the delay, computer issues and downloading of pictures has been a problem for us recently. With that said and due to the holiday this week we are going to run this challenge for two weeks so that everyone will have the opportunity to play along.

This weeks tutorial I created blender pens and Chalk. There are so many ways to use chalk but we thought this would be a fun one. You can find her tutorial here.




The stamp set you will be playing for this challenge is going to be:

"Hello Butterflies"
