The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #320 Anything Goes optional masculine.

 Hello everyone!  Can someone please tell me where the year went?  Gosh you retire and the years just go zipping by.  I think I work more now than I did in the IT business.  Oh Well.  Here is our sponsor.

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

PRIZE~~ 2 Digital images.

I started being on design teams in 2013.  Dr. Digi's was one of the very first sponsors I created for.  I have since collected quite a selection of digital images.  Please go show some love and say a quick thank you. 

My image for the Month of June is Eugene the Engineer.  I forgot to take pictures before sending it off with my daughter to send to her dad for Father's Day.  So daughter took some picture to get Mom out of the dog house.  Here they are.

Here is Eugene the Engineer.  I used an old set
of markers to do the skin.  Next I paper pieced 
almost the entire card.  The base is bright red,
with a spotted gray layer and then a layer that
has tools on the paper and finally a border of
measuring tape!  (in all honesty, I pretty much
copied an example from a DT member on Dr.
Digi's web site.  But I did change it up)

This is the inside.  I printed the words on 
vellum.  You can see more of the tool paper
underneath.

The back

So I got the card done, made an envelope put stamps on it and gave it to my daughter to give to Dad on Father's Day.  Never took the pics.  The background is her backyard.  It is just gorgeous with a water

feature.  

So for now that it's for the month of June.  I will be back next month with another project.

So from my heart to yours, stay safe, stay healthy and know you are blessed.

Much love and hugs, Jana

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #268 Dad's_______?

 Where has the year gone?  As I am writing this blog I just figured out in less than 2 weeks fireworks will be available for 4th of July celebrations.  Then Christmas in July all month and then it's Halloween.  Life goes so fast.  Here are the sponsors for challenge #268.

Sheepski Designs

PRIZE~~3 Digital Images

Two of my favorite sponsors.  I have been on design teams for 12 years.  I have been creating with images from these sponsors also for the last 12 years.  Please go show some love and please leave a quick thank you!

My image for this challenge is from Sheepski Designs and called Strawberry Season.  Here we go.

The first thing I did was paper piece all the leaves.  Next I
colored all the vines and berries using my Castle Arts Oil based
Colored Pencils.  The front says it's almost strawberry shortcake 
time!  My husband is nuts over strawberry shortcake.  

The inside.

I have a weird sense of humor.  Do you know how hard it was
to find an old image of Strawberry Shortcake?  I found the
image and did a print and cut.  The saying is NOT that
Strawberry Shortcake.

Next I found an image of Strawberry Shortcake the dessert.
Did a Print and Cut.  Made a candle from a birthday set of
dies.  Finally happy Birthday was printed out on vellum.

I can't tell you who or when this paper was printed.  I found
this paper pad at St. Vinnies a while back.  It's good DSP.

That's it for the month of June!  Please come back next month for another creation.

So for now stay healthy, stay safe and know you are blessed!
