Beach Hut Holiday

It's Wednesday! So time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog where challenges are always Anything Goes and prizes are awarded from one or more sponsors.  Stop by the blog to check it out!

The sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs and I used a digi named "Beach Hut Holiday” on my DT card.  I used an upcycled calendar page as my background, plus added some additional color with circles of yellow vellum and a pink plastic document folder. (These wonderful items come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores and sometimes dollar stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and are more translucent.  The plastic is also easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors.)
Right now local college students would be on Spring break, possibly on a beach like this one, if travel wasn't an issue due to the Coronavirus. I cannot wait until this pandemic is over and we all get our lives back. Then... I think that a beach hut somewhere just might have my name on it! Anyone want to join me? 

Supplies: 

·    Digi- Sheepski Designs (Beach Hut Holiday)

·    Sentiments- Computer Generated

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Upcycled calendar page, yellow vellum and pink plastic document folder from my stash

A Perfect Time to Craft 2020-Anything Goes- Challenge #3-2020

It feels like winter is going on forever this year! I’m looking forward to spring rains and this cute Bugaboo bear makes me smile. I especially love his sweet umbrella. A rain of cupcakes would definitely wash away the winter blahs! And isn’t the Dr. Seuss quote a perfect fit? I’ve had it in my files ever since taking some child development classes in college several decades ago. It always resonated with me because I personally really like fun that is funny!

My final card features a digi that I won from Scribbles a few months ago. When I saw the current challenge at Crafty Catz, I knew that I could use this great digi to make a card to fit the theme boys and their toys! A design on Pinterest caught my eye, and I revised it to make this card. The hardest part was finding the right sentiments, but a few Beccy’s Digi sets provided the perfect fit. My sweet hubby likes to create things with wood, so I think this is going to be his 60-something birthday card next month because... well... he's pretty awesome! 

Supplies: 

·    Digi- Scribbles (Toolbelt)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Front Sentiment- Beccy’s Place True Beauty digi set (Ordinary)

·    Inside Sentiment- Beccy’s Place Long Haul digi set (Awesome)

·    Assorted papers and lime green brads (for buttons) from my stash
