Oh Goodness Gracie!

Hello!  Welcome to another week with Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #140!  I have a real beauty for you this week, Gracie by StampArt Designs by Kathryne...

Isn't she just adorable sitting on that fence?  A real pleasure to color, too!  StampArt has many more of the most wonderful images for you.  OH almost forgot, the sentiment is a bonus file when you purchase Gracie!  Pretty cool, huh?

Our theme this week at Penny's is "lace and/or ribbons."  A real fun one because we can get all girly!  Unless your guy likes ribbon and lace!  True!  I've done it...brown lace and tan ribbon, it worked! LOL  Back to Gracie and Penny's.  Hope to see you there this week!

I hope all is well with you.  We have had rain, rain, and more rain.  Wonder where our summer has been?  And we will be moving on to Fall creations soon! LOL   

Bye for now, friends.  Please send me Bright Spots!  I love Bright Spots from you as they really do brighten my day!  I'll be sure to send you some, too!

big hugs,

Blowing Dandelions

Uh Oh...forgot again!  Where has my brain been?  Hubby would say "what brain!"  Well, here now with another challenge from Penny's Paper-Crafty!  Yay!  The theme this week is "dry embossing."  As you'll be able to see from my card, not much embossing except on the leaves of the die cuts...no embossing supplies.  Oh well.  I hope you like it anyway!  The digi is called "Blowing Dandelions" and it's done by Digi Darla.  

Hope to see you at Penny's this week!  Until next time, I wish you all the best...

This go Lacy is doing a theme- "Favorite Things."  Sooo, just like it says, use your favorite things on your project- papers, embellishments, flowers, or your favorite digi.  That's what we Sunshine Girls used as our favorite thing.  We had to pick "one" of our favorite images and boy, was it tough!  

Here is one of my favorite images, Sweet Pea-

A real sweetheart, isn't she?  Sweet Pea is from the Flower Pot Pretties collection and you can find her and many other wonderful images in the Lacy Sunshine Shop.

Charlie makes the cut!

Hi again!

Today I want to share with you the other card that debuted with Jem in the Whimsy Inspirations Magazine!  Here is "Charlie Fishing on a Rock," 

Isn't he so cute sitting on that rock with his dragonfly and frog friends?   Makes for a great guy card!

Charlie is by Whimsy artist, StampArt Design by Kathryne, as well as the sentiment-"Fun Fishing Sentiments."

That's it for my Whimsy Magazine Customer Submission fun!  It would be great to see you in the magazine!  Look around in Kathryne's shop, pick a digi, don't post it and watch for Whimsy's Customer Submissions call.  Maybe you too can make the cut!  I think so!  I have very talented friends- you!

Wishing you Bright Spots on this beautiful Sunday...

Jem makes the cut!

Hi!

Made it into Whimsy's Inspirations Magazine!  Way back on page 56, under Customer Submissions.  The whole magazine is fantastic, with lots of ideas and tutorials.  You can view the online magazine here.  

As crafters, we know good projects start with a great image, right?  Well, this sweetie is from StampArt Design by Kathryne and her name is Jem...

The sentiment and butterflies are from StampArt, too!  The sentiment was a Talk About Tuesday freebie.  You can can still get it here in Dollar Digi Deals.  The butterflies are from Happy Spring.

Jem is just adorable and super fun to color!  Stop by StampArt Design by Kathryne and take a nosy round her images...you are sure to fall in love!

Another debut for you tomorrow!  Until then, wishing you the very best.  Bright Spots, right?  Yep, we gotta have em'!

Bye for now, Friends!
