Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #458

Hello and Happy Tuesday; the last Tuesday of the month.  I would like to wish all of my US followers a Happy Thanksgiving!

We're ready for another round at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges and the sponsor this week is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  I've re-visited one of the Doctor's fun images Biffo the Clown.  He looks like he's totally run down putting up with all those kiddies and balloon animals!  This image just makes me laugh.  I hope you enjoy the card and please visit us at Penny's this week for another fun challenge.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #457

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  It's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges.  This round we have 2 wonderful sponsors:  Sheepski Designs and Bugaboo Stamps.

For my design team project, I had the pleasure of using Sheepski Designs sweet image titled Catch.  Two little penguins floating on ice and playing Catch with a Snowball.


This card measures the standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5").  I masked off the images and inked the background with Distress Oxide inks.  I used Glossy Accents on the snowball and the penguins cool shades.  In hindsight, I would not have doodled along the top and bottom edge as I'm not liking it.  These are such adorable, chubby little penguins and I love them!

Please join us this week at Penny's and enter for your chance to win some fabulous images from our sponsors. 

Also, I would like to remind everyone of the challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  It's a monthly challenge for all things Paper. 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #456

Hello Everyone, it's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog.  The theme this round is Anything Goes and our sponsor is the adorable Digi Doodle Studios.  For my design team project, I had the pleasure of creating my card with the so sweet image Santa's Eve.


My card measures 6"x 6" and I've used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for the coloring.  The designer papers are 12"x 12" individual sheets I picked up at Hobby Lobby (they have some great loose papers for a very reasonable price).  I added some Wink of Stella to Santa's white trim, mustache and beard along with the bows on the prezzies and the Teddy.  A ribbon, bow and card candy to finish the design.  I'm happy with him and just love his Pink nose!

Please join us at Penny's this week, we would love to have you.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #455

Hello everyone!  After a hiatus from Design Team participation, I'm back to share my DT project for the current challenge at Penny's.  The sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous Cute As A Button Stamps and I've had the pleasure of creating with this sweet Holiday Image Reindeer Ears.


I decided to keep it simple yet effective and it's been awhile since I've colored with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I dusted them off and got lost in the fun of coloring (I'd forgotten how fun it is) and this sweet little guy came out great.  I accented the piece with sequins and my Sakura Gelli Roll Glitter pen.  This card measures the standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5").

We hope you'll join us at Penny's this week, we look forward to seeing your creations.  It's good to be back and crafting again!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - November Challenge

Hello Everyone, it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme for this month is Anything Goes with a Twist:  Thanksgiving.

For my design team project, I created a Post-It Note Holder Box and a Simple Thanksgiving Card.  The Note Holder Box was an inspiration from Positively Papercraft on YouTube.  Of course mine didn't come out as nicely as hers but it's functional and I do like it.  In hindsight, if I create this again, I will cut the mat pieces larger for the sides.  The box measures 3.5" square, 1.5" tall.



My second project was a simple card created for Thanksgiving.  I used a set of Postal Stamp dies and dies for the word Thankful.  The papers were some I had in my stash and the card measures a standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5").
We hope you will join us at The Paper Funday Challenges this month, we would love to see your creations and hope we inspire you in some little way with our projects.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
