Stars and Stamps sketch #35 and challenge

Here is this week's sketch from OWH's Stars and Stamps blog. In addition to making the sketch I also went for Barb's challenge. http://papertherapyponderings.blogspot.com/2010/09/monday-september-20-2010.html Purple, penguin, and holiday card on moldie old paper for OWH. You didn't have to do all the challenges but I couldn't resist. The penguin is an old digital freebie and I am very sorry to admit I don't know who the artist is. Kinda cute though.

At first I couldn't think of any penguin stamps I had but then I remembered these little guys from The Cat's Pajamas. Little goofballs! I added a sentiment from Hero Arts and a few Studio G snowflakes. The bottom layers are Cuttlebug embossed. I'm still happily using up the pack of purple stripe paper from Lasting Impressions I bought a least a year ago. Not sure if that is actually 'old'! ;-)

I've got an idea for another penguin holiday card so there may be more to come!

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Aren't they cutie pies? This was a black and white photo of my sisters when they were little girls. I played with colorizing them in Photo Shop Elements. It was very fun. The red frame is parts of a Michael Strong frame stamp. It was embossed in pink. Sentiment is computer printed.

I sent this card off to my parents who will be hosting a do with my brother, one of my sisters (the little one with big eyes) and the son of the other sister. I hope they get a smile out of the photo.

Cats, buttons and scraplings

I love Sprinkles no matter what she gets up to! Here she is gracing the fronts of a pair of scraplings I made for the Two Peas Stamptoberfest challenge as well as Amy's supply challenge for The Cat's Pajamas's TCP Tuesday.
