Penny's Challenge #490 'Anything Goes'

 Golly Gracious!  Challenge #490.  Penny's will top the 500 mark sometime this spring.  Do not know if there will be a celebration or not.  But I will keep you posted.

Hi there and welcome back to my little niche of the blog world.  I have a really cute project to share with you.  Let's see who our fabulous sponsors are.  


Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Jan's Digi Stamps Digital Stamp Shop

These are some heavy duty sponsors.  Two totally unique styles.  Each one I very much enjoy designing with.  Please go show some love!

Now on to my creation.  I have used a Dr. Digi's House of Stamps image called Yogic Yulia.  This image is so interesting.  I new the instant I saw this digi I had to be able to create with it.  (doesn't hurt I LOVE Dr. Digi's stamps)  Now what I had in mind totally took a left turn.  This image was bound and determined to be used in one way only.  Let me show you what I created.


Here is my image.  Look at Yulia's stance.  What 
is she doing?  It is a yoga move but I don't know
which one.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and really old
paper scraps.  I am not happy with the way the
vellum was attached.  I will try again later.

I have a warped sense of humor.  But on the 
front of the card, Yulia looks like she is bowling.  
so I downloaded a background about bowling.  I
used a coloring page for the bowling pins.  The 
alley is another google image.  The writing is printed
on Vellum and came out much better.

I found a new stamp at Tuesday Morning for the
backs of my creations.


Oh I wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful comments.  They make my world.  See you in another fortnight with another anything goes challenge at Penny's!

Stay healthy, safe and very blessed!

Penny's Challenge #489 Anything Goes!

 Well can you believe it is February?  It's Tuesday Feb. 2, 2021.  Groundhogs Day.  A groundhog in Europe did not see a shadow or sun.  Gang he saw a RAINBOW!  Now that has got to be the best sign that 2021 will be a better year.  

It is Penny's Challenge #489.  As always it is anything goes.  This challenge we have a super duper sponsor, Digi Doodles Studio.

Prize~3 Digital Images 
(of the winners choice)


I absolutely love these images.  You can find an image for any occasion.  Go give them some love!

For this challenge I am using an image titled Little Love Birds.  It is such a sweet image for Valentines Day.  I guess it could be for any occasion celebrating love.  Here is what I have created.

I did not dream up this design.  I found it on Splitcoast Stampers.  The layout was copied from Paper Crafty Creations by Sheri Gilson.  She has all the measurements listed and the directions on how to make this card.  Go look around she has amazing ideas.

Here is my creation.

My image was colored with Prismacolor and
Arteza pencils.  Papers used are solids from
American Crafts, the printed paper is from many
years ago and I don't really remember
where I got it.  Ribbon from Joanns.

In this picture I just wanted to show off the
confetti that will be in the card.

The inside.

Now this is going to my hubby grumpy gus.  (real name is 'The Bob')  Of course I am the one who will be vacuuming the confetti.  But that's OK.  

I hope that each of you have a wonderful Valentines Day.  Or maybe a Galentines Day.  I will be back in a fortnight with a new project.

Stay safe, stay healthy!  Brightest Blessings,
