    This month’s challenge at  Sheepski Designs is “Anything Goes” and my DT card features a wonderful image from artist Andrea Norris named, “Wappits.” (How fun is that name?!)  I found free sheet music on the web to provide a fun background. I found the photo captions at a thrift store many years ago. They provided the perfect touch of humor to my card. Lastly, the eggs on the inside of the card were fussy-cut from patterned paper to add some COLOR!

·   Digi- Sheepski Designs (Wappits)

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

·   Sheet Music- “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” a freebie from HERE

I mean… hopefully right after the two blizzards forecasted in the coming week!)

Outlawz Challenge- March 2024 Linky

      I was happy to discover the ABC Christmas Challenge a few months ago, partly because I love celebrating Christmas all year long!

     The current challenge focuses on the letters E, F, and G, so these two little gingerbread cuties is so adorable that they deserve to be placed front and center. (This digi is from a talented artist. Dina Gerner, who closed her Digi Doodles shop a while ago. I was glad to learn that she still sells stamps, now the clear variety, in a web-based shop named Ink n Splatter Stamps.) The humorous front sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place digi set.  (An exciting note, Beccy Muir, artist/owner of Beccy’s Place, is holding a retirement sale of several digi sets for 50% off (meaning that this set is just $3 US!). Besides this set, I have several others, so I’ll be posting cards made with them between now and March 31st. Check the sale listing out HERE!) The inside sentiment is from a wonderful Christmas set from WeAre3. (Sadly, I just discovered that owner Bonnie Kohane closed her WeAre3  Etsy shop last November. I was happy to see that Bonnie hosts a FB page, Bonnie Kohane Craft Time ,where she offers a weekly freebie… plus provides a friendly and supportive place to “meet”! Since I recently retired, I plan to stop in there often!
