It's 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! 

My DT card features a sweet digi image from Star Jam Lines named “Gnome Cooks.” I colored the cute little cutie with Spectrum Noir Classique Markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. I’d found some colorful baby cards in the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby a while ago, and loved using the hot pink envelope with its lime green polka dotted paper liner, and matching scalloped insert on my card. The non-traditional colors seemed a perfect fit for this card, especially when paired with some striped paper and magenta mirrored cardstock. Oh… and a flurry of cute little gingerbread cookies,printed on Kraft cardstock and fussy-cut into so much cuteness! (Sadly, this digi set is now retired. Beccy occasionally brings sets out of retirement and offers them at a sale price. So you might want to follow her blog to be alerted to events. )

Beccy’s Place Challenge- April  

        Since I’m a Contributor for Beccy’s Place, I’m entering just for fun! 

With graduation now about a month away, I'm busy making cards. Here is another one using an owl (this time from Gerda Steiner) perched in front of a fun gold foil sentiment (from a set of wedding announcements found in the discount aisle of Hobby Lobby.) Additional bling was added with stars punched from gold cardstock and positioned beneath a free sentiment.

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Papercraft Challenges #81-Animals on the Farm (we lived on a farm for a short time during my childhood and the only animals that inhabited our old barn were cats and an occasional owl. I did google a bit to make sure owls fit under the classification of animals. I discovered that they are considered to be animals of prey because they eat small animals, including… gasp… kitties! I’m glad I didn’t know that when I was young because I loved our barn kitties, and probably would have camped out in the barn with a pilfered BB gun to protect them! I'm also entering this card into the challenge because Gerda Steiner, the artist who created this cute owl, is the sponsor of this current challenge.)      

Supplies: 

·   Graduation Owl Digi- Gerda Steiner Designs (no longer available, but check here to see current  freebies!)

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

·   Inside Sentiment- Desert Diva Freebie (conGRADulations)

·   Star punches, gold and patterned cardstock, mini diploma, and other items from my stash.
