Penny's Challenge #503

 Just to give you a little glimpse into my life.  I live in the USA in the state of Oregon.  Oregon is extremely green due to the huge amount of rain we get.  But not for the past few years.  Today there was a chance of drizzle.  I thought getting up late I probably missed it.  But low and behold we had a shower.  I ran outside in my bare feet and face up and arms out, I started twirling around and around.  It felt sooooooo good.  I much prefer fall and winter.  Gray (sometimes rainy) days and darkness falls at 3:30 pm.  But enough of weather.  I have a card to share.  Here are the sponsors.

Stampers Delights

Prize~3 Single digital images of the winners choice.

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Prize~2 Digital images of the winners choice.

Wow!  The past few weeks have had some really heavy hitter sponsors.  Fabulous images and really fun to work with.  Please go show some love, look around and find something fun to create with.  

On to my project.  I was lucky enough to be assigned to Dr. Digi's.  I found this image and just knew it would be great for on upcoming party.  So here is what I came up with.

 Say hello to Charcoal Chuck. I have fallen in love
with him.  First I colored him with my new alcohol
markers.  I had the shorts paper for so long.  It was
just perfect. I printed the shorts onto the paper,
 fussy cut them out and pasted them on Chuck.
I printed out the background from the web. 
The banner is a sticker from a set from Dollar
Tree.  I printed the saying on overhead projector 
acetate so that the background would show through.

Here is the inside.  Here in the USA we have a 
holiday that celebrates workers everywhere.
It's also what we consider the last weekend of 
summer.  Again I used the background from the 
web.  I printed both sets of words from that same
sheet of acetate.

Short and sweet for this week.  Next time I promise more pictures.  So I will see you again on Sept. 1, 2021. (Gosh how did it get to September?) So until then,

stay healthy, stay safe and be very blessed!

Penny's Challenge #502

 Hello everyone.  Can you believe it's August?  Where I live we are in a terrible drought with wildfires all over the state.  There is a chance of some rain (maybe) on Thursday and Friday.  Please pray for rain.

It's time for another anything goes challenge over at Penny's.  Let me show you the awesome sponsors for challenge #502.

Jan's Digital Stamp Shop

Prize~$10 Store Voucher

Pattie's Creations Digital Images

Prize~3 Digital images of the winners choice

Here are 2 sponsor's that are always fantastic.  Go show some love!

Now on to my creation.  I am using an image from Pattie's Creations Digital Images titled 'Flamingos'.  Now I love flamingos!  I have ones that light up and metal one for outdoors.  I have salt shakers and even a huge assortment of rubber stamps.  Do you think I could come up with an idea?  Oh heck no!  So I finally found some paper and a saying.  Now to put it together.  Here it is!

I colored the flamingos with Prismacolor Pencils. 
Made a A4 card and matted a black background.
Next I cut out the part of the paper I wanted to use
and glued it on to the black background.  The
Flamingos were cut using my Silver Bullet Cutter.
The saying is copied from a set of flamingo stamps
and printed on vellum and cut out.
(isn't that paper perfect?)

The inside is blank.  Just don't know what it
will be just yet.

The back of the card.

That's it for this challenge.  I hope to be able to comment on your entry!  See you in a fortnight!

Be Safe, Be Healthy and know you are very blessed.
