Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #208

 Gosh it's the last few days of October.  Where has the year gone?  As I get older I swear the time just moves faster!  But one thing we can count on, a Challenge every fortnight from Penny's. But first let's see who our sponsor is...

Digi Doodle Studios

We have one sponsor for challenge #208.  This sponsor is a big one.  They offer the cutest images for the DT to use and always support the many various teams.  Thank you Digi Doodle Studios!

I am working with the image Elf Gift Surprise.  Such a fun one to create with.  Here is my inspiration.

Here is the envelope

The green and purple card is from American Crafts.
The purple striped and the lime green stripe are
from a Crafter's Companion kit called Contemporary
Christmas (2018).  The Elf Gift Surprise is colored
with Shuttle Art Alcohol Markers.  Holographic
snowflakes and flat backed Christmas bulbs are
items I picked up at a garage sale.

Purple card is American Crafts. The embellishments
are more of the Crafter's Companion Kit.

A CC banner and my sticker.

Here is your fortnight update.  Yes this is correct.
There are only 58 Days until Christmas.

All in all I think that this card is very nice.  I think a close friend will get this one.  See you in a fortnight!

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and be very blessed!

Penny's Challenge #507

 Hey there~

It's time for another fabulous challenge at Penny's.  Of course, this challenge is always 'anything goes'.  Let's see who our sponsors are...

All Dressed Up
Prize~2 Digital images of the
winners choice

The Artsy Stamper
Prize~1 Stamp set of the winners
choice

Hetty Clare
Prize~2 Digital images of the winners
choice

I love this time of year.  All/most of the sponsors have announced there newest collections.  As a designer for Penny's we're are able to receive a image that might be brand new.  So I give a huge thank you to the sponsors.  Thank you for all that you do.  Go show them some love gang!

Now on to my creation.  My image is from Hetty Clare called Christmouse Wishes.

Here is what I have created.

Bright red card from Paper House and Graphic 45
background from the 12 Days of Christmas Collection.
Blue paper is a scrap and the snowflakes are from
a punch that I found somewhere.  I colored Mr. 
Christmouse with Prismacolor Pencils.  

The inside is more G45 12 days of Christmas paper.
The 2 signs are from a Big DCWV Christmas/
Winter Stack from 2013.

Here is the back.  I should say that the little 
pompoms are from a kit for children that was sold
by Joann's Fabric and Crafts.  

That is my project for this challenge.  I will be back with another creation in a fortnight.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

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.
