Challenge # 247

Not sure about you - but where the heck did September go?

Today is not only the last day of September, but it's Wednesday and time for another Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.

 

Are you ready?

 

Challenge 247 - Sept 30th

Theme - Anything Goes

 

If you don't already know - I LOVE Halloween!! And I was so excited when I saw this image I got to use from Oddball Art!

 

 

Image: Oddball Art Tiffany The Terrible

Paper: Fancypants Design Oct 31 paper pack
Coloring Medium: Copics, atyou Spica pens 01Lavender, 05 Lemon, 06 Melon
Other Supplies: Prima Flowers, Spellbinders Floral Corners 2 die, Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle die, Recollections Gems

 

 

She is so adorable!! I had so much fun coloring her. But when I got done, I just felt like it needed something yet. So I made a 'background' by stamping some little stars all around in the same colors as my papers. Still not sure I am 100% happy - may go back in and add a lil something else yet. Maybe a cloud and crescent moon? But anyway - I still think it turned out pretty good :)

 

Don't forget to visit the rest of the team and see what they have made. And leave some love and you just might win something from one of our great sponsors!!

 Challenge #246: Theme

Here is my card:

Image: Imagine That digis by Kris - Ice Cream treats

Paper: Brown and green cardstock
Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Spellbinders Lacey Ovals & Classic Large Ovals, Mama Elephant Tags a Lot die, Smooch Glitz-Frost, Recollections Gems

As I am sure you have figured out - my favorite ice cream flavor is

Mint Chocolate Chip!

Actually, I really like any ice cream with chocolate in it, but I would have to say this is my ALL time favorite flavor.  I also incorporated the mint and chocolate colors into the card as well. I think it made for a pretty cool card - don't you?

FTHS Sketch Challenge #118

Welcome back for another sketch challenge @ From The Heart Stamps!

 

Don't forget ~ we are back to weekly challenges.

We wouldn't want you to miss out on any fun!

 

Here is this week's sketch:

I did not go w/the twist of making it an interactive card. But, I did use the September SOTM. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Mother Nature starts making her beautiful colors with the changing of the trees. The air is crisper and the days are getting a little shorter.

Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Queen & Co Pearls Yellow Sunshine, Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackable die, Mama Elephant Banner/tags die, American Crafts twine, atyou Spica markers 04 Orange, 05 Lemon & 20 Chocolate

 

I think she looks adorable all decked out in her fall colors :)

 

I hope you will join us.

Sketch Challenge #117 @ FTHS

Hi everyone!

Second post of the day :)

 

FTHS is now back to our weekly sketch challenge! YAY!

 

And here is this weeks sketch & twist:

And here is my take on it!

Image: Birthday Pup

Paper: White card stock, Bo Bunny Double Dot Design, Colorbok Hootenanny
Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle stackable die, Smooch Glitz Frost, ek Success scalloped heart punch

The twist is LOTS of white! Which was a little 'hard' for me as I was wanting to 'fill' up all the white space with something...LOL. I also 'twisted' the sketch horizontally vs vertically. I think this gave me a little more room to play with. I didn't use a sentiment as I wasn't quite sure which one I wanted to use, so I left it blank for now.

 

I hope you can join us for our weekly challenge!

EVERYONE who enters will receive $1 to From the Heart Stamps.

Penny's Paper-Crafty challenge of the week!

 

This weeks is:

Challenge 244 - September 9th

Theme - Anything Goes

 

My image is from Deedee's Digis. I just thought these Sweet Treats digis were so cute! This set comes with 4 outline images, 4 pre-colored images, 4 white-filled layering images, and 5 sentiments, in JPG and PNG file formats.

 

I decided to go with a CAS card to let the image be the 'hero'.

Challenge #243

 Welcome to this weeks Penny's challenge!!

Challenge #243

Our theme for you this week is 

Use a sentiment

Image: Crafty Sentiments Special Delivery Sentiments
Paper: Doodlebug Design 2141 Zoofari
Other Supplies: Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots, Impression Obsession Banner Die, Memory Box Momma & Baby Ducks Die, Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circle die, Knock outs 2" banner punch, Americn Crafts twine

I couldn't resist making this page for my grandson. Noah spent the first 2 weeks of his life in the hospital. He was born on time, but had issues keeping his blood sugar counts 'normal'. They figured seems how he didn't have the usual baby "fat" that he wasn't able to regulate his blood sugars well enough on his own. And the one pic of him smiling I couldn't resist putting on the page. Thru it all he was a pretty happy little guy considering his extended hospital stay. We celebrated his 1st birthday this past May. I happy to say he is doing well, a little on the small side as far as height and weight - but other then that great!!!

Thank you to our 2 fabulous sponsors
