Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #582 Anything Goes

 Hello everyone!  Can you believe it is October already?  It seems that the older I become the faster time travels.  I need to be much better at my timing projects out though.  My daughters birthday is in the month of October and I started to make her purse in July.  But life does happen.  I got it to the point of final assembly and I DID NOT LIKE IT.  So I picked out new fabrics and I am starting again.  I hope to have it done by Halloween.  Oh well.....

This fortnight we have 2 incredible sponsors.  Here they are.







It seems the big sponsors are coming out towards the end of the year.  They are a couple of my fave's.  Please if possible go show some love and say a thank you for sponsoring.

My project for this fortnight is by All Dressed Up and is called Water-Lily.  Here she is!

Isn't she a cutie?  I colored with Arteza Colored Pencils and 
tried to find the brightest one.  I did a print and cut after coloring.
The base card is a melloe yellow.  The paper square is a leftover
scrap from another project.  

Here is the inside.

The back.

I think this gal turned out pretty cute.  I am sure that she will brighten someones day.  Thank you for stopping by.  I will be back in two weeks with another creation.

So for now, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.  Gang, please say a little prayer for the people in the way of Hurricane Milton.  It looks like a doozy.

Penny's Paper challenge #581 anything goes using paper.

 Hello everyone!  It's Fall in Oregon.  The most beautiful time of the year.  Amazing leaf peeping.  I just love it.  But why the heck was it 94 degrees F today?  Weatherman says it should be the last day in the 90's.  I sure hope so.  Bring on the rain and storms.  Here are the sponsors for our challenge this fortnight.






Two wonderful sponsors for this challenge.  They both have digital images that can be used for just about any occasion.  Go tell them thank you and leave a little love.

My image for the challenge is from Fred She Said and is called Fall Flowers a Aster.  Here we go...


I don't keep sympathy cards on hand.  I like to customize each
card to the family that it is going to.  This one is an exception.
I have it on hand just in case.  The base is a dark green.  The 
floral paper is origami paper.  I colored the asters with my 
oil based colored pencils because the blend so nicely.  Next
I dug out some foil embellishments and made the greeting.


The inside.  I will write a personal note when the card is needed.



The back.

I really like how this card turned out.  Oh, the card is a 5x7.  Pretty big but it will be a stand out.  I am so happy your decided to spend a little time with me today.  Please leave a comment if you would please. 

 So from my heart to yours,  stay safe, stay healthy and know you are blessed.

Penny's Paper Crafty Corner challenge #580 ATG

 Hello everyone!  I did something that I have not done before.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  I got a ladder and put it under the chandelier in the front room.  Got my cleaning stuff (Windex) and cleaned that light.  I am extremely afraid of ladders.  I thought I would just share that.  (go me).  Here are the sponsors for challenge #580.

Colour Of Love



I love to work for both of these sponsors.  They both have images that would suit most occasions.  So please go and say a big thankyou and leave some love.  They really do appreciate it!


For my creation I have used an image from Colour of Love.  It is titled Little Pumpkin Fairy.


I started out with black cardstock for the base and added
a orange layer and then a colorful fall color layer.  I colored my
image with my Castle Arts Oil based colored pencils.  I got some
areas blended and others I need to practice.  I wanted a Halloween
card without the traditional orange and black.  I still wound up
with the traditional colors but added in some purple and burgundy.


The inside




The back


This is the front of the envelope.  I really like decorating
the front.  I will put packing tape over the image before I send
it.

I found a very old Halloween paper that is double sided. When
I found it I knew I had to use it.  How fun!

Well that wraps up another anything goes challenge at Penny's.  I hope that you can come and play.  But for now...

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.
