Penny's Challenge #499

 Hello!  Guess what...?  We are at challenge #499.  I still don't know about celebrations/giveaways yet.  It will be a surprize for everyone.  Now it is time for #499.  Here are our sponsors.

The Paper Shelter
Prize~3 Digital images of the winners choice!

Fred She Said
Prize~$10 Store Voucher

Some heavy hitters for sponsors this fortnight!  I am so lucky to be able to use images from them.  Please go show some love.  I have their links right under their logos!

This challenge I am designing with a image from Fred She Said that is titled Peony in a jar.  This image is so clean and a dream to design with.  With that said, here is what I have came up with.

I am so pissed at blogger right now.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.  So bear with me.  If I have only 1 picture so be it!

This is my card.  It's a easel card put on it's side.
if blogger will work nicely I will show you all the
steps.

At the top I put a flower that I had made and two
sections of leaves.  The panel in the center has my
image glued on and a Happy Hello greeting with
a very tiny clothespin in purple.

This is the envelope.  The paper is doubled sided
and is made by K&Co.  This stack is designed by 
Brenda Walton and has some really cute elements.
The address label and the little flower for the back
are punched out of the stack.

That's all blogger is going to let me do!  I am so sick of dealing with this.  Maybe

it's just time to migrate to Word Press.  

Thank you so much for coming over today.  I will keep you posted on any party plans.  

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and be very blessed!

Challenge #498

 Hello everyone!  Well what's new?  Bob and I needed help with the yard work.  I had been doing all of it due to Bob's problems.  But this year I just couldn't do it.  I do not have a self-propelled mower.  So that is a lot of pushing.  My back can't do it anymore.  I found a young man just getting started in his own landscaping business.  He came today.  What a godsend!  

Challenge #498 has arrived.  Let me tell you who our sponsors are:

Cute As A Button

Prize~2 Digital images of the winners choice

SheepSki Designs

Prize~3 Digital images of the winners choice

These are two great sponsors.  Everyone go show some love please!

Now on to my creation.  I have used Daisy Panel Image #182 from SheepSki Designs.  I love how crisp and clean the digi images are from this company.  So here is what I have created.

The envelope and card base are from a big stack 
I bought from a thrift store.  The background paper
is from a very old (2008) K&Company Pad designed
by Brenda Walton.  The image was printed on some
AC pink card and colored with PrismaColor pencils.
The 2 bunches of flowers are from K&Co. (2013) and
I think that they are spot on for color.

This is the left inside.  I saw this sentiment and
started laughing out loud.  I printed it on more of
the background paper in green ink.  These flowers
are from a JOT set from $1 store.

On the right inside, the background paper has been
 printed in hot pink and says Happy Birthday Dear Jody. 
The flowers are the rest from the JOT stickers from
$1 Store.

Jody lives in AK and so I needed to send it early.  She doesn't read my blog so we are all good.  

Thank you so much for visiting!  Until next time,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and be very blessed!

Penny's Challenge #497

 We are getting closer to #500.  Still don't know if the DT is celebrating.  I will keep everyone informed.

Hello and welcome back to another ATG (anything goes as long as it is paper) challenge over at Penny's.  Let me tell you who our fabulous sponsors are for this challenge.

Paper Nest Dolls
Prize~3 Digi Images Of the Winners Choice

Stampers Delights
Prize~3 Digi Images of the Winners Choice

Boy howdy these sponsors are the best.  Remember to go and give some love to each one.  They deserve it!

My digital image this week comes from Paper Nest Dolls and is titled Goth Mom.  Have to tell you that I really do not know anything about the Goth Culture.  So here is my take on her.  I kept thinking Morticia Addams. Here is what I came up with...

This is the envelope.  Made from Graphic 45 paper
from the set called Steampunk Spells.  I used mostly
this paper for my project.

Here is my version of Goth Mom.  I think I did 
pretty good.  The base is from American Crafts.
One thing I love about G45 paper is that it all is
doubled-sided. All the papers in the set, Steampunk
Spells, are coordinated.  So easy to make a project.
I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils. Then
it was just layering paper to do the front.

The inside used the same paper.  I pasted over
the saying on the green striped paper.  Printed
the happy birthday on olive scrap paper.  The

back has my sticker.

Sometimes I hate blogger.  It has a lot of bugs recently.  But there is always a work around if you have been using it for any length of time.  I couldn't get the cursor to the left.  I fixed it.

So that is what I came up with.  I love the colors.  Whoever receives this will be pleased.  So until the next fortnight, 

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and be very, very Blessed!
