My sons visiting with his dog and I’m in the process of adopting a new dog and I’ve been spending my usual card making time with my son and the dogs…. three chihuahuas, not a house full but a lot of dogs !

The Penny black challenge was to use swirls so I used one with ink and one cuttlebugged into the background card. the oval with spellbinders nestabilities. . The stamp is penny black, the swirl hero arts and the color for the frog and flower are chalked.

Frogs and flowers

It’s Saturday and I’m back from Denver trying out my new camera for cards.
I’m not sure if this is really in focus, tried several times but couldn’t get it clearer.
the challenge was flowers and i had to use the new pb stamp I bough in Denver,
( one of many on the sale shelf at Hobby Lobby). the frogs are chalked and I added
punched flowers.

Monochromatic brown frogs

The Penny Black challenge 97 is to create a card in monochrome brown.. Since I have so many stacks of paper I just had to go through and choose the browns. Isn’t the one with the flowers, perfect? I like all my stamps but the frogs are best!

Hoppy Easter checks

The penny black challenge is to use checks… and I couldn’t find my pastel checks so the red and blue go behind the spring /Easter card I wanted to make. It’s stamped with virsamark and colored with chalks then the eggs filled in with stickles although you can see in the picture. The ‘hoppy’ stamp is darcie.
