Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #604 Anything goes using paper.

 Hello and welcome to a melting Jana.  The heat is extremely high for Oregon.  Right as I type this the heat outside at 2:35 pm pst is 95.6.  My comfort zone is 68-78.  Thank goodness for A/C.  Due to climate change in the pacific northwest it will probably continue to rise.  Here are the sponsors for challenge #604.  Please note in your post if you are all digital.

LeAnn's World 101

Patties Creations

I love and appreciate these sponsors.  I am happy to get the word out about the wonderful images.  Please go show some love and give a thanks for sponsoring the challenge.

On to my project.  I am using an image from Patties Creations called Christmas Cactus Trio.  Here we go!

The base of the card is cream and a layer of peach.  I wanted
to match the background.  It's a picture of Quartzsite, Arizona.
I colored the cactus using my Prismacolor Color Pencils.  Next
Cut the image out leaving a small shadow layer.  I used my new
Langou markers to outline the pots and color in the Christmas
lights on the bottom of the cactus's.  

The inside.

The Envelope.  I have really gotten into decorating envelopes
if possible.

Well that is it for challenge #604.  Be back in a fortnight with another project that I hope will inspire you.  Feel free to take my idea and do something different.  Until then,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.  

Pennys paper Crafty Challenge #603 ATG

 I have been perplexed for about 7 weeks now.  I know that a lot of crafters are doing digital cards and scrapbook pages.  As you all know, Penny's Challenge is for physical creations using paper.  How about this?  Please say if your project is physical or digital.  No difference in prizes but then the team knows.  Just seems like a courtesy.  I AM NOW OFF MY SOAPBOX.   Here are the sponsors for Penny's challenge # 603.

SheepSki Designs  

Last Minute Manda digital stamps

Go visit and give a big thank you to these sponsors.  They are both very gracious in sponsoring our challenge.

OK this is going to be short and sweet.  I TOOK A FALL EARLIER.  TIME FOR SOME PAIN RELIEVERS.  My card is using images from Last Minute Manda.  Here we go!

Envelope

Isn't she the cutest little mousie.  I colored her with Prisma-
color Pencils.  The bow, dress and apron are paper pieced.  I
have used light aqua base cardstock, topped with pink snow-
flakes and a very small scrap I have saved for a couple of years
that has teapots on it.  The hot pink is a background die from 
Amazon.

The Pennant die is Temu.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and then
paper pieced the clothes for Miss Mousie.  The words are 
printed on Vellum.

The back

That's it for this week.  I hear a heating pad calling my name for my knee.  Take care everyone.  I will see you all in a fortnight.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.
