Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #520

 Gosh we had a very exciting Easter.  My hubby was lying in bed with our kitty Snowy.  He kept hearing little squeaks from her.  I knew she was pregnant but not Bob.  Bob yells to me "you want more cats"?  I go into the bedroom and low and behold Snowy has had kittens curled up next to Bob.  I go into mother mode.  Strip the bed and find Snowy a box for the time being.  Snowy is settled and Bob has a fresh bed.  Found a large comfy pet bed and put them all in it.  Here are our little Easter kittens.

In all my years, I have never had a cat give birth.
I have had mama cats bring kittens to me.  These
3 little peanuts are very vocal.  Feeding well and 
possibly opening their eye next week.  I will keep
everyone up to date.

Now on to my Penny's Challenge post.  Let me announce our sponsors for challenge #520.  
All Dressed Up
Prize~2 digi images of the winners choice

SheepSki Designs
Prize~3 Digi images of the winners choice


StarJam Lines
Prize~2 Digi images of the winners choice

I have worked with All Dressed UP, Sheepski Designs quite a bit.  Star Jam Lines is a new company for me.  Please gang, go visit the links under each logo.  Go show some love!!

On to my project.  I am working with a very precious design from All Dressed up called Little Butterfly Girl.  Here we go!

This card is called a Reverse Easel Card. Never had
heard of this one so of course, I had to try it.  I
colored Little Butterfly Girl using Prismacolor Pencils.
I had my Silver Bullet Cutter do a print and cut.  I 
mounted her on a piece of the main card stock.
Used the same card stock for all the panels.  Made
the stop using a rectangle double card stock and
a Hello sentiment.


This is the back panel.



This is the stop for the easel card.  I reinforced
Little butterfly Girl's toe shoe to bump against
the sentiment.  


The card does collapse for mailing.

That is my project for April 27th, 2022.  I had a very nice time coloring and learning a new card design.  I'll be back in a fortnight with another creation.  But for now...

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Penny's Challenge #519

 Hello everyone!  Are you ready for Easter (if you celebrate)?  I'm not! This year I have two littles across the street and I have two new littles nextdoor!  It is so great to hear laughter in the area again.  So I think I will make some candy bar wrappers for the local littles and the parents.  Need to get a move on though.  Here are the sponsors for challenge #519.

Prize~3 Digital images of the

winners choice


Prize~2 Digital Images of the winners choice

These two sponsors are simply AMAZING! I can't draw worth beans.  So I greatly appreciate anyone who can.  These two are some of the best.  Gang please go show some love.

My project for this challenge was very different.  I have not colored a image like this before.  The image I have used is from Colour of Love and is titled Pelican's Sea Friends. Here is what I came up with.

The image is a quilt.  I colored it using my
Prismacolor Pencils and Prang Colored Pencils.  
Next I used Ranger Glossy Accents on the bubbles
and other features to add some shine.  I printed 
out the summer time is the best time and glued
it on using Art Glitter Glue (love that glue).

I backed a piece of white card stock to a paper
that is a picture of water.  Stamped and colored
Happy Birthday and found a vellum printed
saying that says "It's Your Day"and used spray
adhesive to secure it on the card.  


Just a close-up of the happy birthday stamp.


This is the back of the card.  I haven't used this
stamp in a very long time.  (ok, I found it when
I was cleaning out the hall closet for stuff for
donation to the thrift store)

That is it for this challenge.  I will see you in a fortnight with another creation.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and have a very blessed Easter!
