Penny Black Challenge! Versatility!

Today I am show casing an image that I love to use for several different occasions... By changing the color scheme or embellishments on the card, you can make an Easter Image a Christmas Image, or Birthday Image etc.... This is a way to stretch the usability of each stamp! Love that!

I have colored this same image in several different color Schemes to show you the versatility of an image I would normally consider an Easter image.

Hot Pink & Lime Green, Fall colors, and rose/denim color combinations! Too Fun!

Penny Black - Challenge - Garden Kitty!

My favorite type of cat is a paper cat... they don't shed... well maybe they shed scraps all over my floor! Yep! Guess they shed too! LOL...

Anyways here is my second kitty card in one day, it's usually dogs or turtles if I do animal cards.... This one is for my kitty loving friends and the Penny Black Gift Tag Challenge and the Penny Black Allsorts challenge. Figure if I join a few challenges it will get me in gear to post more often...... thus the reason for so many in one day..... today is creation day!

I love to give tags as birthday cards. This one could be used as a tag on a gift bag or as a gift pouch! LOVE it!

Love Bug! Penny Black Gem Challenge & Allsorts challenge

I am loving these challenges....

Penny Black Blog Gem Challenge

and

Penny Black Allsorts Challenge

It really makes me think about the different things I already own and never use on my cards. Is this LOVE BUG cute or what! Love her.... she is by Penny Black and named LOVE ANTENNAE . But I like the name LOVE BUG because that's my Bugsies name.

INGEDIENTS USED:

Stamp: Love Antennae 4119j by Penny Black

Butterflies: Prima

Dec. Paper: Pinecone Press

Dies: Spellbinders

other: Rhinestones, scallop punch

an old favorite pic of my little LOVE BUG Bugsie can you believe she is almost 7 months old now.... and a whopping three pounds... Looks like she will max out at about 3.5 lbs.... she is soooo tiny and loveable (but full of vinegar). Her new trick is to hold the doggie door closed from the inside when Jazzie (other Yorkie) wants in. Jazz usually gives up and says "whatever" and trys again later!

Class Calendar Updated through end of 2011
