Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #584 ATG

 Hello all! I have two very cute gnomes to show you today.  But, I have no idea what 'crackers' are.  Can someone help?  Oh well, let's see who our sponsors are.






Our sponsors for this challenge are wonderful.  Love working with both of them.  Please go give them some love and say a quick thank you!

My project is from Sheepski Designs and is called Crackers #253.  Here we go!



I colored the gnomes with my generic markers that i bought on 
Amazon.  Next I paper pieced the cracker.  I looked at pics
and I guess that there is a little surprise inside.  Cool!  The
card is hot pink card.  Next layer is from paper that I have had
since the start of this card making journey.   The final layer
is a piece of confetti paper to add a festive vibe.

I was gifted this printable paper from The Paper Shelter a few
holidays back.  It fit perfectly with my card layout.  The 
Merry Christmas is a metal die from amazon. 
 (can you tell I like Amazon?)

Well that is it for the challenge.  I will be back in a fortnight with another image.  So for now, stay safe, stay healthy and know you are blessed!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #583 Anything Goes

 Alright, can anyone tell me where the rest of October went?  Gosh, Halloween is next week.  I am ready and I actually decorated.  Not like I used to but just the mantle.   Looks nice.  I make little Halloween baskets for the neighborhood kids to keep up the good relationships with the parents.  Never know when you will need a little help (especially with hubby).  Here are the sponsors!






Patties Creations and Mirtellamente are really fantastic designers.  They both have images that are funny but also some that are serious.  Go say thank you and leave some love please.

On to my project.  We don't have large family dinners.  It just mom and dad and the girls.  But I do like to create place holders.  Each year is different.  So for 2024 I have used an image from Patties Creations that is titled Pumpkins with Vines.  Here we go!

First off I colored each pumpkin with the favorite color of the
person.  My name is Jana and my favorite color is Pink.  I found
some stick on letters in my file cabinet.  Put one on each.
You can't really see but I did make vines out of brown pipe
cleaners and attached them to the back to act as vines.  I think 
they turned out pretty cute.  The background is a table cloth that
I put on the table at Thanksgiving here in the USA.  


That is it for this fortnight.  Next up is another great project from another great sponsor.  Thanks you for visiting.  From my heart to yours, 

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

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.
