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

Odynetika

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.

Penny's Challenge #579 Anything goes

 Hello!  First I have to tell you about a big hurdle I accomplished this week.  I have cathedral ceiling of 18 feet in the front of the house.  I also have a chandelier.  Both were filthy dirty.  The ceiling had a massive amount of cobwebs and I had never cleaned the light because of being afraid of heights.  I tackled them both!!! I got on the 4th step of the ladder and scrubbed the light and I have an extension pole that I attached a cobweb tool and swatted them down.  I am pretty proud of myself.  What is something you have accomplished this week?   Hope to hear from you to cheer you on!  On to the challenge.  Here are the sponsors.

Dr. Digi's House Of Stamps

🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒

Last Minute Manda

These sponsors are so fun to work with.  Images that can work for just about any situation that you need a card for.  Please go leave a little love and a thank you.  They really do appreciate it.

On to my project.  I have an image from Dr. Digi's called 'Gnome Improvements'.  Here is my finished creation.

The card base is royal blue Recollections.  The gnome was 
colored using my Arteza Colored Pencils.  The bucket and 
table also colored pencil.  The rest of the scene is paper
pieced.  Ever heard of polka dot paint?  Here you have it.
Some snowflakes wallpaper is included.  Christmas presents
and some kitty cats round out the project Mr. Gnome is
completing.  Beige/Tan Recollections envelope is included.

The inside. I stamped and embossed a scrap of paper
and created the greeting.

The back.

So that's it for this fortnight.  I'll be back with another creation in 14 days.  Until then...

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #578 Anything Goes using Paper.

 Hello everyone!  Welcome to August.  Can you believe how fast the year is going?  Seems the older I get the faster the years go by.  I do wish there were more hours in the day.  I could accomplish so much more!  Here are the sponsors for this fortnights challenge.

Alex Syberia Designs

Sheepski Designs

Two wonderful sponsors for our first challenge for August 2024.  Please go and visit each one.  If it's not too much trouble please leave some love and a thank you.  

My project uses an image from Alex Syberia Designs and it titled Pretty Winter Bouquet.  Here is what I came up with.

If you look closely, The bow paper is white but it also has gold
dots.  So for the bow I fuzzy cut one out and then embossed the
edges using gold powder from Crafters Companion.  Using 
almost every pencil, marker and pastel chalk that I own, I colored 
this bouquet.  The red berries are marker.  Added bling by using
some gold ribbon and gold embossing on the Merry Christmas.

Some very old Christmas paper from one of my DCWV old
books (winter and Christmas combined) as the background
paper.  Some brown card stock with the stamp I Believe 
embossed in gold to finish off the inside.

The official logo and initial and this Christmas card is Finished.

That's it for this installment of Pennys Paper Crafty Challenge.  I will be back in 14 days with another paper creation.  But for now,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.
