Penny's Challenge #180

Good morning.  Thanks for joining me today.  Since it's Hump Day, that means we have a new challenge over at Penny's.  

Our theme this week is BEAR or MICE.
We also have some great sponsors, including:

Meljen's Designs

Crafty Sentiments

Di's Digi Stamps

I decided to use Benson Bear from Crafty Sentiments for my card today.  Isn't he sweet?   I colored him with my trusty Crayola Colored Pencils and Gamsol.  I die cut the image and sentiment block with my Cuttlebug and Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Scalloped Classic Ovals.  These papers are old ones from DCWV from probably about 5 years ago.  Adding some ribbon and rhinestones finished up this card.

How about taking a minute or two to stop by Penny's blog and check out some of the other design team's cards this week.

Have a wonderful day and God bless y'all.

Our sponsor this week is 

Because my computer is still down, I had to use a The Paper Shelter image that I already had printed out.  It was this one or a pregnant lady and I don't think the latter would have worked.

Penny's Challenge #178

Whoot! Whoot!!  It's Hump Day, yeah!!  LOL.  That commercial never gets old.  I love it.  When we went to the zoo a few weeks ago and I saw the camels, that is the first thing that came to my mind and I started giggling to myself.  My daughter looked at me like I had lost my mind.  Yeah, I probably had. :)

So, today being Wednesday, that means a new challenge at Penny's.  Our challenge this week is "Spots and Stripes."  Our sponsor this week is one of my favorites: 
                               

My computer that I use to work with my digis crashed last week so I wasn't able to print out my Stamp Art image for this week's challenge.  Luckily I had some of Kathryn's images and sentiments already printed. This card uses one of those sentiments.  The vintage roses are from a free site that I found for vintage images.

Thanks for joining me today.  I hope y'all enjoy your hump day.  God bless y'all.
