Challenge #258

Hi everyone!!
 
The DT here at Penny's Paper Crafty challenge will be taking a break until the new year. But, we hope you will find a couple of minutes in your busy holiday schedule to join us for this last challenge of 2015.
 
This week:
Challenge #258
Anything Goes
 
Since being asked to join the DT here @ Penny's - I have had the honor of getting to use some amazing images, by some really great & talented sponsors. And I have to say - Lacy Sunshine has been one of my favorites! So I was thrilled to be using another one of these wonderful images.
 
Paper: Kraft card stock, the Paper Studio ~ Old World Winter
Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Smooch Glitz ~ Frost, Distress Ink ~ Antique Linen, Memento Ink ~ Rich Cocoa, Range Enamel Accents ~ White, Stickles ~ Crystal, Paper Smooches ~ Christmas Sampler (sentiment) Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Layers Die, Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circles die, Cheery Lane ~ B146 Pine Branches die, Recollections Bling

I knew right away that I wanted to keep w/traditional Christmas colors. And this wonderful paper pack I have from the Paper Studio works so well with the "old world" feel. I used just a little bit of the Smooch Glitz on the pine branches and roses to give it just a little shimmer. To make it look like just a little dusting of snow on them. And when going thru my holiday sentiments, I came across this one and it works perfectly!
 
Please make sure and check out the rest of the DT and see what they have been up to :) And of course - as always our AMAZING sponsors for whom we could not do this without!
 
Prize - 7 digi images of winners choice
 
and
 
 Prize -3 digi images of winners choice
 
Well.....I hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday season!!
Please join us in 2016 for some more FUN!!
 
Thanks,
 
Michelle

This week's Challenge is:
 
Challenge #257
Anything Goes
 
This week I got to use a fun image from Faery Ink. I had never used them before. They have some great images!!
 
 I had seen a card I believe on Pinterest that had the vellum embossed with the happy birthday. I thought that was such a great idea, I thought it would be perfect for this card! And for some reason, I really like the purple and green together.

Challenge #256

Happy December!!
 
Where did fall go? LOL
Can't believe only a couple weeks till Christmas.
 
Well, it's time again for another challenge @ Penny's!
 
Challenge #256
Anything Goes
 
I got to use this adorable image from Imagine That..digis by Kris
 
This image has ENDLESS possibilities! Perfect for paper piecing - which I did on the 2 birds on the outsides. Just to give them a little more 'pop'. Or you could just paper piece the hats with a fun DP! Color the birds all the same, but give them different hats! Snow or no snow in the background....I could go on and on!! I added snowflakes to coordinate with my background.
 
I always tell myself "NO MORE paper pads"! But on a recent trip to Michaels, along w/their awesome 20% off sale & regular price items -
 I just had to have this paper pad!
 
 
Paper: Recollection ~ Cozy Lodge Christmas
Coloring Medium:  Copics, atyou Spica pens 03 Red, 05 Lemon,
 12 Silver, 21 Lipstick, Gelly Roll Clear Star pen
Other Supplies: Memory box Stitched Rectangle Layers die, Stickles ~ Star Dust, Recollections Gems, Doodlebug Designs ~ Sprinkles in Lilly White, and bakers twine, Martha Stewart Alpine & Arctic snowflake punches
 
I hope you enjoyed my card today! We really hope you stop on by and check out the rest of the DT as well! Some great ideas!
