Penny's challenge #592 Anything using paper.

 Well hello everyone.  I have a short but sweet post this fortnight.  Let's Get Started. 

Rachelle Anne Miller

Patties Creations

What a great couple of sponsors.  Go visit, look around and fall in love with an image.  They will greatly appreciate it.  Oh Oh don't forget to say a thank you!

I am working with an image from Patties Creations called thinking-of-you.  This is what I came up with.

What a fun image to color.  Bright pinks and purples for a 
sunflower.  A monarch butterfly.  This can only mean one thing.
I think the flower is a Gerbera Daisy and the monarch butterfly
is going south.  Spring is right around the corner.  The card
base is black.  Purple paper is from a book called Pretty Posies.
Gold brads are Anna Griffin.  Thinking of you is cut on 
purple mirror.  

I just love this quote.  

So no envelope yet.  It will be created when the card is going to be mailed.  Thank you so much for visiting.  I'll see you in two weeks.

So from my heart to yours, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #591

 Hello everyone!  As I type this, my community in Oregon has a tornado and high wind warning.  I have only heard a tornado warning once before in my entire life.  So the next few hours should be interesting.  Here are the sponsors for challenge #591, anything goes using paper.  

Fred She Said

LeAnns World 101

Amazing Sponsors.  Penny's Challenge is proud to promote these two.  Wonderful images to fit just about every situation.  Please go show some love and give a thank you!

My image is from Fred She Said and called Sunflowers.   Here is what I have created.

I just love how this turned out.  I have used a tutorial from 
Mixed Up Craft. Here is the link for the Pretty Centre Step Easel Card.
Next I had some very old Recollections brown 12x12 paper so that
 was perfect.  I knew that I wanted to use some gold holographic
mirrored paper.  I sorted through all the paper I had and finally
found some that would work.  Had the brads for a long time.
I took the image of the sunflowers and printed them with my
lazer printer to red foil the card.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and
a picture of a red sunflower on my monitor colored the sunflowers
to the best of my abilities.  (Dr. says it could be as long as 6 months
before I get all movement back in my left arm).  I cut the panels
to the correct size and glued them on.  Found the little sunflowers
in my sticker files to create the stop for the easel card.  Punched holes
for the brads and placed them on the card.  I used a die to cut the
Happy Birthday out of red mirror paper.  The front is
complete.   

This is the inside of the card.  It is an area to write a little note.

I found in my sticker drawer these beautiful stickers.  They
have foam underneath to pop them up.  3 sunflowers and 1
paintbrush.

This is the back of the easel card.  

The front

A super close-up of the sunflowers.

The brads.

I am so happy that you could take a little break and see what I have created.  I hope you can play along with us at Penny's Challenges.  I will be back in a fortnight with another project to inspire you.

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

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge # 590. Always Anything Goes.

Hey ya'all!  I am back.  It's been 2 months since I broke my arm in 3 places.  I have been released from wearing my sling and have started Physical Therapy.   My coloring is getting better but not quite where I would like it.  (actually my coloring doesn't look like an elephants anymore).   So on to the challenge.   Here are our sponsors.

The shop is now closed.  Contact this link for

Last Minute Manda

Wow what a way to start a challenge.  Two fabulous designers that very graciously supply images to 

design teams to promote their business.  Please go share some love and give a big thank you!  Greatly appreciated.

On to my creation.  It's a suite of Squirrels in the garden.  (sorry I couldn't find the link). Here we go!

Gray card and a yellow mat to start.  I looked online for a 
clipart image of a garden which was a free and printable.  I 
really like the one I found.  The squirrel is colored with my
Castle Arts Oil Based pencils and so is the package of seeds.
I came up with the title just daydreaming one day.

 

I am so happy that I save my scraps.  The hello spring is a die
that I found at St. Vinnie's many moons ago.  I also found the
paper pad that had this sheet there also.

The back.  I am using up the last of my labels from 2024.

Well that's it for this challenge.  I hope that you can come and play along.  With heartfelt wishes of health, wealth and happiness that's a wrap!

Love Jana
