Pearly Sparkles February Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for a new Pearly Sparkles Challenge?
This month we're going with ANYTHING GOES.  We love seeing all of your amazing crafty creativeness so be sure to link up by February 27.
I have a very special friend who celebrated her 80++ birthday on January 30th.  She is an amazing woman who donated the funds for the softball field at the University of Illinois.  My daughter played on the inaugural team and went on earn her Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the U of I.  This wonderful woman has remained dear to our hearts for the past 22 years.  She is still active, lives in her own home, continues to support the university and loves her cats!
Here's her card.

The image is from The Rabbit Hole Designs.  I used dies from Whimsy, LaLa Land Crafts, and Jaded Blossom.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Artful Angel Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing a project from Passionate Paper Creations & Friends' newest sponsor, Artful Angel.  This is an online craft store featuring products from a variety of crafty talent
I chose to use a stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie called Tiny Tea Party.

The stenciled background is LaLa Land Crafts Daisy stencil.  I think it was a great background for the patterned papers I chose for the tea cup.  I did some paper piecing on the cup and saucer and then colored the mice friends with Copic Markers.  The dies are also from LaLa Land Crafts.
We're so happy to have Artful Angel as one of our PPCF sponsors.Be sure to check out the PPCF Facebook page for a special deal from Artful Angel during her sponsorship.

This challenge is "Hard to say . . ." so it could be a sympathy card, belated birthday, I'm sorry.  You know, those cards that are often difficult to make.
Our sponsor is DRS Designs.  The image I'm using was provided by our sponsor.

The image comes as shown with the sentiment surrounding the Calla Lilies.I used Jaded Blossom Stitched Rectangle dies for the frame (I cut 3 including chip board to give it some dimension) and to cut out the image.  The leaves are from LaLa Land Crafts.I used Neenah Desert Storm for the image and colored with Prisma pencils.
I hope you'll join us for this challenge.  Just add your project to the top link.Don't forget to include a die cut!

A Christmas Thank You

 Hi Crafty Friends,

Today is my day to share on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

I try to start off each new year by sending Thank You cards for our Christmas gifts.  I know it's "old school" but it's something I enjoy doing and something that I have always expected my girls to do (even though they are now adults!)

Here is the card I made with an envelope to go with it.  I chose a simple design since I was making multiples.

I used these Jaded Blossom products:

Rectangle Dies

Scallop Rectangle Dies

Large Snowflake Die

Basic Word Dies

Snowflakes stamp set.

The patterned paper is from my Bo Bunny stash.

Thanks for visiting today.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Dr. Digi Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
We are so lucky to have Dr. Digi as one of our PPCF sponsors.  You'll find his images featured on the PPCF Facebook page.  Be sure to take a look.
I was given this image called Angling Andy for my project.I haven't made an easel card in such a long time and this one was really fun to make.

I used Copic markers to color the image which was stamped and then cut out using my Scan NCut.

For the sentiment I used Jaded Blossom's alphabet dies.  The stencil, focal shape and fishing pole are  from LaLa Land Crafts.  I also added some inking using Altenew die ink cubes.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  If you're not a follower, I would love to have you ♥
