Speedy's Friends' Blog Challenge - die cut

This week I am just being a participant because Faith and the Design Team are handling the challenge to give Speedy's Friends' Challenge Team the 4th of July weekend off. I still couldn't resist a great challenge so here is my card I made with the Apples and Camillia  set soon to be released from Mark's Finest Papers. I know it's too early to think about those "back to school" days, but soon that theme will be filling the  aisles and ads! This set will be perfect for that same theme. The ribbon and charm are also from MFP.

Speedy's Friends Blog Challenge #9

The challenge for Speedy's Friends this week was selected by Vicki and we were to use 3 flowers on our card. I just love camillias so I knew immediately which one I would use.Here's a sneak peek at a new set from Mark's Finest Papers that comes out in July. I have always loved camillias because they remind me so much of roses. Once I lived in a house that had a couple of camillia bushes and they were blooming in December when everthing else was dead. I don't know if they came in white or yellow, but the ones we had in our yard were a rose red.

What a terrific response we had  in participants for our challenge last week! It is hard to beat, when everyone has a chance in 40 of winning a prize!! Thanks, Faith for a real incentive for those participating. If you have a Mark's Finest Paper's stamp set, we would love to see you use it and that will double your chances of winning. Be sure to link your card to Mr. Linky over at Mark's Finest Papers Blog.
