      Fur-ever Friends

      So there's a lady named Mary Gunn (she calls herself MARY GUNN FUNN) and every Friday evening she does a Craft Roulette.  It's a card challenge in that she spins a wheel four times to produce four different parameters and from those four parameters, you create a card.  She has a guest contributor every week and together they do a card LIVE.  It's very cool and Mary lives up to her name of being a FUNN lady!  

      The rest of us have 48 hours (whew!) to get the card done and submit it to her web site 

      MaryGunnFUNN.com – Paper Craft Education & Entertainment – Online since 2003

      I've watched a couple of episodes but this is the first time I've actually played along.  And yes, I got it submitted a couple of hours before the deadline. Yay!

      The four parameters this week are:

      • Project: Card with flap(s)
      • Colour(s): spring
      • Element(s): dog
      • Random: book page
      Here's my card.

      Patterned paper (book page): Lilibea Design
      Cardstock: Diecuts with a View
      Stamps (dog): Card Making and Paper Craft Magazine
      Puffy sticker (cloud): Amy Tangerine
      Ink: Ranger Distress Tim Holtz
      Markers (to colour dog and dog house): Spectrum Noir Tri-blend
      Twine: Bead Landing
      Edging ink: Close to My Heart
      Black Ink: Versafine Clair
