Tribute

Good Morning Everyone, 

Yesterday a horrible tragedy happened in our Country. Before we get to our Blog Hop this month we would like to pay tribute to those who lost their lives during the Boston Marathon yesterday. Our hearts go out to those who lost a loved one and those who were injured because of a heartless criminal. We are praying for those in Boston as they try to heal from this horrible event. There is no rhyme or reason to these attacks and why innocent people have to lose their lives because of them. We will continue to pray for the people of Boston and will keep them in our thoughts.

Sincerely,
Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Lois B

Hi, Lois here again.   Since I was last here with a technique, I have fully retired from my job as a bookkeeper for not-for-profit organizations – at my last position for almost nineteen years.  Now that I have retired, I am able to spend more time at my addiction . . . er, avocation, stamping and paper-crafting.  I have gone through the gamut of many different hobbies over the years (embroidery, macramé, ceramics, counted cross-stitch), but I think I enjoy the “instant gratification” of card-making more.  

I joined the Mark’s Finest Paper Senior Design Team at its inception and have recently become a member of the Speedy Fox and Friends challenge team.  Last month I began hosting the Thursday Inspiration Challenge on Speedy TV.  If you haven’t seen that challenge, be sure to check it out.   One of my favorite parts of this hobby is learning new techniques, which was one of the reasons I was part of the Tutorial Team on Speedy TV for almost a year.  I hope you enjoy the technique I am presenting today, creating a winter scene using masking fluid.  You can find Lois' newest tutorial here on SpeedyTV and visit her blog here for more inspiration.

Sneak Peak April Stamp Sets
