Pennys paper Crafty Challenge #603 ATG

 I have been perplexed for about 7 weeks now.  I know that a lot of crafters are doing digital cards and scrapbook pages.  As you all know, Penny's Challenge is for physical creations using paper.  How about this?  Please say if your project is physical or digital.  No difference in prizes but then the team knows.  Just seems like a courtesy.  I AM NOW OFF MY SOAPBOX.   Here are the sponsors for Penny's challenge # 603.








Go visit and give a big thank you to these sponsors.  They are both very gracious in sponsoring our challenge.

OK this is going to be short and sweet.  I TOOK A FALL EARLIER.  TIME FOR SOME PAIN RELIEVERS.  My card is using images from Last Minute Manda.  Here we go!

Envelope

Isn't she the cutest little mousie.  I colored her with Prisma-
color Pencils.  The bow, dress and apron are paper pieced.  I
have used light aqua base cardstock, topped with pink snow-
flakes and a very small scrap I have saved for a couple of years
that has teapots on it.  The hot pink is a background die from 
Amazon.

The Pennant die is Temu.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and then
paper pieced the clothes for Miss Mousie.  The words are 
printed on Vellum.

The back

That's it for this week.  I hear a heating pad calling my name for my knee.  Take care everyone.  I will see you all in a fortnight.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

For the U.S.A.

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #602 always anything goes using actual paper

 Well hello everyone!  As of this moment (6:21pm) the western Oregon coastline is under a tsunami 'watch'.  If anything comes, it will be around 11:30 pm pacific daylight savings time.  There was an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands off the Alaskan coast.  The part that Russia still owns is where the quake was centered.  Richter Scale measurement sits at 8.7.  Massive destruction.  I will let everyone know if anything does happen.  I live about 66 miles away.  We shall see.

On to the new challenge.  It is anything goes using actual paper.  But first here are our fabulous sponsors.







Now Alex Syberia Designs is a very new sponsor to me.  I do like the images.  Dr. digi's is another one of those companies that feel like an old friend.  Please go and show some love and leave a thank you if possible.  

My design team project is from Alex Syberia Designs and is titled the The Magic of Christmas.

I have always wanted to try foiling using many different colors.
This is the perfect image for that.  So I printed the image out on
my laser printer.  I have a wonderful collection of foil colors.  I
chose green, red, mint green, gold, light blue, blue, pink
and purple.  I cut out pieces of foil and taped it to the section I 
decided on.  I did the whole design.  Well........
The foiling took but it was very messy.  I tried to clean it up.  
This is the best I got it.  The image is fabulous but my foiling
technique needs work.  Oh well, live and learn.

Here is the inside.


The back.

See a design team member doesn't always have success.  I guess it's not really bad.  I just wanted the image to come out crisp and clean.  I'll keep working on the technique.  I will see you in a fortnight for another challenge brought to you by Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge.  

So until then from my heart to yours, Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!!!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge. Always Anything Goes #601

 Hello everyone!  Summer was a little late this year for Oregon.  Well today 7-16-2025 will be in the triple digits.  Way to hot for this gal.  I'll stay in the house and craft!!!  Here are the sponsors for challenge #601.







These two sponsors are simply amazing with their artwork.  Many digital stamps to fit your needs.  Please go leave some love and maybe a thank you.

My image is from Colour Of Love and is titled Wild Gypsy Roses.   Here is my creation.

What a beautiful image from Heather.  Have you ever tried to
color black hair?  Well my black hair is actually blue indigo.  I
just could not make it using black.  I have used PrismaColor 
pencils, Castle Arts oil colored pencils, Shuttle Art alcohol 
markers and probably other items I have forgotten about.  I did
a print and cut leaving a slight border around.  The paper is some
that I picked up during a Tuesday Morning run in 2019.  The card
base is olive green and then a pale yellow floral  G45 card on top.


The inside has a wonderful verse that I found online.

Just a close up.
The back!

Well that is it for this fortnight.  I hope you all have a wonderful two weeks and I will see you then.

From my heart to yours,
Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!
