Penny's Challenge #568 Anything Goes

 Welcome!  How is everybody doing?  Are you ready for Easter this Sunday?  Me?  Not so much.  I have 4 little neighbors that I make little treats for but other than that, we just don't celebratei .  My hubby was raised as a Jehovha's Witness.  He is still fed up with organized religion.  So we just don't celebrate and watch NASCAR Racing instead.  So let's see who our sponsors are:







Wow!  2 of the most amazing sponsors I have worked with for over 10 years.  I can't say enough about how wonderful their images are.  The Paper Shelter always has lots of extras in each file.  Polkadoodles images are crisp and clean just as The Paper Shelter's are.  Please go and leave some love and say a big thank you!

My image to work with for the challenge comes from The Paper Shelter.  Elegant Era Muse is my image.  Here is what I came up with.

I really didn't have time to make a card that was all that fancy.
I did a print and cut on the lady.  Printed out the background.  
Added a bronze glitter circle and some hot pink skinny washi
tape and stuck a bow on it.  My card is done!

Here I have used the provided background and embossed a 
very elaborate happy birthday stamp in bronze.  The back of 
the card has my logo and my inital J. 

Well that's all I have for this challenge.  See you in a fortnight.  Heartfelt wishes for a very nice Easter Celebration.  

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

Penny's Challenge #567 Always Anything goes

 Hey everyone!  Can you believe it is March?  Time flies even faster each year.  Seems it should be late 2018.  Oh well.  We have a new sponsor and a familiar one.  Here they are.






Many times I have used digi stamps from Colour of Love.  Love her images and collect her Possums.  Streamside Studios is brand new to me.  Love the images.  Very nice.  Good line closure for print and cut.  So please go and say thank you and share some love.

Now my project uses a set of images from Streamside Studios called Strawberry Cows.  My little neighbour girl has a birthday coming up and this cow was perfect.  

I colored my cute little cow using my new Castle Arts Gold
Oil Based color pencils (still loving them).  I made sure the
strawberries were colored Alanna's favorite color PINK. I printed
the little chicks on yellow card and colored the beaks and
combs a bright orange. The card base is light blue. 
Background is from a 12x12 paper pad I (of course)
got at a thrift store.  

I will also write a caption and include 7 dollars us.

Boy I didn't realize how crooked this was.  Here is the 
back. 



Well that's it for this challenge.  Remember our challenges are always anything goes.  I will see you in a fortnight with another project.  From my heart to yours,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.
