Penny's Challenge #506

 Welcome to my blog.  What's new?  Around here it's down to the wire on decorating for Halloween.  My daughter's birthday is the first week of October.  I started a tradition way back of having her birthday party Halloween themed.  Well 40+ years later I keep this tradition alive.  Just need to wrap presents next.  So happy that I got ahead in my DT assignments.  Let's get the blog entry started.  Our sponsors for challenge #506 are...

Twinkle Land Designs
Prize~8 pound store voucher

The Paper Shelter
Prize~3 Digi images of the winners
choice.

These two sponsors are fabulous!  Always ready to sponsor design teams and the designs are really really nice.  Go show some love!  Now on to my project.

My image is from Twinkle Land designs and is 
called Gingerbread Man Digi. This was a joy to 
create with.  I found a coloring book image of a 
cup and enlarged it using SCAL and my cutter. Cut
it out and I have a joint where is opens.  I used a
really pretty silver wrapping paper for the
background. If you look closely it has holographic
 snowflakes. I coloredmy image using Prismacolor
Pencils. Cut it out.  I used spray adhesive and
stuck that puppy down.  Attached the spoon also. 
 I found a snowflake punch a while back.
Punched out green glitter and red mirror paper
snowflakesand using foam squares put
a pair in each corner!

Here I used a piece of DCWV 2013 Christmas-
Winter stack.  I attached 2 more snowflakes and
stamped a sentiment.  Below the card are jingle
bells.  If you are my age I would put them on my
shoelaces in jr. high and high school.


 

If I remember, it was last year when I started putting the days left before Christmas on the blog.  So here is the first of that tradition.

Thanks for visiting.  I love comments.  I'll be back in two weeks with another creation.

Stay healthy, stay safe and know you are blessed.

Penny's Challenge #505 "Always Anything Goes"

 Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.  Have you ever just felt blah??? I don't know if I am coming down with something but I have NO desire to do anything but sleep and eat a little.  But I did complete my project for challenge #505.  First let's see who the sponsors are.

Sheepski Designs
Prize~3 Images of the winners choice

Cute As A Button
Prize~2 Images of the winners choice

I just love these two sponsors.  They both have wonderful and fun designs.  Go show some love my friends.

On to my creation.  I am using a image from Cute As A Button called Not a creature was stirring digital digi stamp.  This was a fun one to do.  Here are the details.

I printed out the image on my lazer printer.  I used
Prismacolor Pencils, Arteza Colored Pencils, a couple
of sharpies and I paper pieced the clock with white
glitter and the blanket with a pretty Christmas
themed scrap. Next I PNC the entire image using
my Silver Bullet 24" Pro cutter.  I printed the
title on heavy vellum using red ink.

I used that same heavy vellum for the Happy
Christmas. (that's fake snow on the surface &
boy what a pain to work with)

I know that you don't want to see this little sign.
Have you started your holiday routine yet?  I have
almost all my shopping done and just have to make
Christmas cards.  I will make sure to post them.  A
little word of advice, buy your items for your 
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner NOW.  I didn't last
year and I couldn't find some items.  They will be
just fine until the New Year.  

So that is it for this Penny's challenge #505.  I hope that you are having a nice week.  I will see you again on Sept. 29, 2021.

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

Penny's Challenge #504

 Hello everyone!  Happy September.  Fall is almost here (thank goodness)  I am a fall girl. I love the smell of fall and all the celebrations.  I even like the heavy fog in the mornings.  Ahhhhhh Fall I love you so!!!  Now on to this fortnights challenge.  Let's see who our fabulous sponsors are.

Leanns World 101
Prize~2 digital images of the winners choice

Paper Nest Dolls
Prize~3 digital images of the winners choice

Two of my favorite sponsors.  Love to design for them.  Clean images and just plain fun to color, what's not to like!  Go show some love everyone!

On to my project.  I am using a image from Leanns World 101 entitled 'Steve'.  Steve is a tourist on vacation.  In my imagination, Steve has traveled many places.  So here is my card featuring Steve.

Here is Steve in all his glory.  I colored Steve using
Prismacolored pencils.  I printed out a straw hat
texture and printed his hat on to it.  I fussy cut it
and then colored the hat band.  The location stamps
are from StampinUp (many moons ago).  I stamped
them using Ranger inks and put a brad through
each one.  Seafoam green card, circle paper are all
American Crafts.  The top paper is the lagoon in
Venice Italy and made by Paper House. The 
'vacation' word is a sticker.

Now you can see the polkadot paper.  I tried to
use those colors for the card.  The globe and the
word 'explore' are stickers I had from a travel
themed layout I made.

Do you see the palm tree?  I just thought that
this was a cool looking piece of paper to use.

Back of card.

If you look closely, the address label is water.

I hope you like what I have made with 'Steve'.  I don't know where he ended up

visiting but my bet is Mexico because of the coconut he is drinking out of.  

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  As always if you have any questions, just use the link.  See you again next fortnight.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know that you are blessed!
