PIP Challenge 2017

PIP Challenge  2017

There is no official sponsor for this week's
challenge but PIP will be offering the winner a 
$5 Gift Certificate from
Mo's Digital Pencil
Here's my card for this week!
I may be jumping the gun on my grandson's
birthday, in July, but with everything being
shutdown and keeping a stay-at-home order,
it may just be July before I see this little man, 
in person, again. I haven't been able to cuddle
him since Christmas. ARGGGH!! I miss that
little man...and here's why...


Yep, he's my favorite grandbaby!! He is
my only one though. 
ANYWAY...
I colored the image with Copics and glossed
the balloon, and felt the card didn't need
anymore than that. It's tough to add to 
such adorable images! 
Stay healthy and safe and enjoy 
virtual hugs!!

Challenge Time

Well...one good thing about having to stay
home is the fact that I can make cards to
mail out and join in challenges! This card 
went to a friend of mine in NY. I met her when 
she was just a very little girl. Her father and
I played cards and visited. I became friends
with the whole family and this little girl, 
now in her 20s, with two children of her own,
are still friends. They were all from Russia. 
Her birthday is today and she is now 27 yrs. 
old. WOW! I entered this card these challenges:

I used a stamp set from MFT. I'm a Polar
Bear lover and these little bears make the
best! I colored the bears with Copics and
used daubers to add Memento inks to the 
little panels. MFT had matching die cuts,
that usually cut out perfectly...but...I didn't 
take my time, so they are a bit off. 
I raised the bears up with pop dots, created
a couple of layers and finished!!

Here's my card!
First of all, 
I want to thank Di's Digis for their sponsorships!! 
They have soooo many wonderful digis! 
Please do stop by and let them know you heard
about them from PIP Challenges!!

With all the COVID-19 issues and risk, I've
had my former partners, at County Rescue
Services when I ran as a paramedic, just 
6 years ago, in my prayers. I am VERY thankful 
that I don't have to be working now but 
my prayers go out to all my friends 
there (Terri, a member of PIP's DT), and 
the 911 operators, (my daughter, Heather) 
in the Green Bay area. I sent this card to
CRS. I am grateful for all they do!!!
This cute little image was a freebie from
Whimsy Stamps. Copics, fussy cutting and
embossing folder for background and that
about covers it. That chubby little penguin
looks a lot like me in my uniform! hehe

Challenge 2015

This week's sponsor is 
Bugaboo
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis they have!  
Go check them out now!

Here's my card!
 Another beach type image and a great one
from Bugaboo! I can always find fun images
at Bugaboo! I colored my image with Copics
and used an oval die cut. I added some clear
lacquer to the sunglasses. I stamped the 
background flowers and colored them. Taking
a black SN Sparkle pen I filled in the entire
background. The sparkle is wonderful!
I used a sentiment from the same Paper Smooches
stamp set I got the flowers from. I raised the
sentiment with mounting tape and finished!

PIP Challenge 2014

Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Challenge 2014

Where does the time go?? It just flies by!
Well, at least it use to...before COVID-19.
I pray that you are all hunkered in somewhere
germ-free. Is there such a place? hmmm I've
remained inside and away from everyone
for more than 2 weeks now and every day 
seems exactly the same. lol. But crafting 
does continue! YAY...so onward!
This week's sponsor is 
Di's Digis 
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis that they have!  
Go check them out now!
Here's my card!
Beccy's Place is a brand new sponsor
at PIP Challenges and you will love her
delightful stamps and digis, as well as 
matching die cuts! I love dies!! Be sure
to check her "store" out! You won't be 
disappointed! This pelican is from the
stamp set, By the Seaside. I used Copics
to color my sea bird and cut it out. I 
stamped some palms, in black, for my 
scene. Add bit of blue for my water. 
Once I attached my pelican using pop
dots I added a sentiment
and attached all the layers to finish.
