OMG it took me many attempts to get anything I wanted to post I don't know why I have done this technique in the past . However I did just learn the weathered bows and decided not to cover the background but let it shine in all it's glory  http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/

Weathered Ribbon

Because I could not get in to view the tutorial for this challenge I followed Pat's method except because I have never don't this before  I heated the bows before I put them on the card  I love this technique and will use it often   http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/tutorial-time-on-speedy-tv-challenge-50-5-22-13

This is my most used mug . I bought the mug and tiny butterfly  stamps at a yard sale and when I got home I wondered why. Now it is a perfect fit for this challenge.    http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/friends-of-speedy-tv-challenge-72-05-13-13-inspired-by-something

Nature Colors

As I look out the window at nature ( I live in thick woods) there is no color in my marker box that I don't see out there For this challenge I chose earthy tones  http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/sketch-with-a-twist-challenge-46-05-14-13

Glitter

If I could post my desk top , my hands and my hair you would see lots and lots of glitter ,. However on the card I glittered the grass and the ribbons  http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/

Yummy

This challenge is to use food . I used enamel accents on the hearts and colored the MFP stamp with copic using a blender   http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/simple-salutations-challenge-44-5-08-13

Kraft Color?

Fifty years I have been an interior designer worked with color every single day I have never heard of Kraft color . I googled it and got the colors of thee Kraft food boxes, going by the sample I am guessing it is the butcher paper color which is what I used , however it doesn't look that beige/brown on the screen . I used MFP Dogwood set to follow the sketch. http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/sketch-with-a-twist-challenge-45-05-07-13

Climbing the work ladder to that new job "It's just a matter of timer"  http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/friends-of-speedy-tv-challenge-71-05-06-13-new-job

Faux Leather

Everything about me right now is faux I am pretending my house is clean my hair is cut my makeup is on and that I am okay . Fact is the house is a shambles my hair is a mess and I haven't worn make up for the better part of a month I am in a wheel chair in pain doing therapy  can't get to my supplies and that makes me cranky
However my husband got out what I needed for this challenge http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/
I put brown cardstock through the embossing folder covered it with embossing ink clear EP and heated  for the faux leather background I used MFP Amish Mini stamp set and finished it with chalk
Now to figure a way to get these supplies put away.
