Host: MFP Sketch with a Twist Challenge #28

Welcome to MFP Sketch With a Twist Challenge #28!  I hope you all had a great week and enjoyed last week challenge.

Sketch #28

Twist for this week is use baker's twine somewhere on your card!

This month's winner has a chance to win the "Gullible" stamp set.

Now it's time for my card that I created for you!

I used MFP Love, Love, Love set for my card this week.  I used some of my Christmas present to color my card this week.  I got my first sets of Spectrum Noir pens.  I was a little nervous at first coloring the rose but I think it turned out pretty good.  I also got the Hugs & Kisses embossing folder and thought that went prefect for this card. 

 You have until 11:00pm on January 14th to get your submissions entered to win. Remember you do not have to use Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamps to play but if you do your name will be entered twice.  Please remember to link your card back to us and mention SpeedyTV Simply Salutations challenge and Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co in your blog post. Please no back linking. Remember there is two chances to win this week so the more you play the more you are entered to win.

I can't wait to see what everyone creates for this week's challenge!

HIMCR #79 Color Challenge

I hope everyone is having a good year so far!  Ours has been good so far.  It has been so nice being home the last 2 weeks.  I have gotten so much done that I have had on my To Do List. 

This weeks challenge at HIMCR is Color Challenge.  This week colors are Black and White and 1 color.  I decide to go with turquoise we have a neighbor who is getting married in the spring so I made a card for them.  I love how the colors look together. 

I used the Creative Memories Divine Wedding Cricut Cartridge to cut the cake out at 3.5" and the black and white paper was in my scrapbox.  I distressed the edges of the card, papers, cake and tag.  I also embossed with the Divine swirls folder.  That is one of my favorite folders!!

Now it's time to check out what the rest of the DT has created and check out the challenge at HIMCR.

Have a great day!!

The sketch for Week 27 of Sketch With a Twist Challenge:

 The "Twist" for this week's sketch is your colors must be Black, White, and Silver.  

I used Marks Finest Papers Big City Stamp Set for my card this week.  I just loved how the black, white and silver looked with this stamp set.  I used the word stamp City to create the background of my card.  I distressed the edges of the white paper Good Luck, City scene and around the edges of the card.  This is my favorite technique to use and I do it on almost all of my cards! I attached my fancy border to a black piece of card stock.  The fancy border is made from the Creative Memories border maker.  This is one of my favorite tools to use now!!  If you have any other questions about my card feel free to ask.

Happy New Year

I'm very excited to share my card that I made with my new Spectrum Noir pens.  I have been wanting them for awhile now and just couldn't decide on what colors to get so I waited and waited.  My daughter's teacher gave me a gift card to JoAnn's helping with projects in the classroom.  I heard that JoAnn had started carrying Spectrum Noir pens.  So I went in the other day to take a look and they do so I used my 50% coupon and gift card and picked up a few sets of pens!!

Here is the card I made with my first set of blue pens!  I'm also enter it in the Spectrum Noir Challenge!  Wish me luck!!!
