PIP Challenge 2048

PIP will be sponsoring this week's challenge 

(Animals as a THEME) 
by offering a $5 gift code from Mo's Digital Pencil 
Here's my card for this challenge:

View the action
This was a simple card. My favorite kind!
I made it for my 16 month old grandson.
I've been making him cards lately. He just 
loves to carry them around and sometimes
he just sits and looks at them. Fun. 
The image, from Mo's, was colored with
Copics and fussy cut. I went online and
searched for "cartoon rooms" and came
up with the one I saved and printed out
for my background. I added a spring "tool"
to the back of my image and attached it.
The little springs are Action Wobbles
from Art Impressions. 

Stay healthy and safe and enjoy 
virtual hugs!!

A big THANK YOU to our sponsor
 for this challenge: 

 Without our amazing sponsors the 
challenges wouldn't happen. 
SheepSki Designs is offering the 
random winner THREE DIGIS!!

This week I didn't have an image to use
because I knew that I was going to be
preoccupied with my grandson, LJ. He
had a lump on his lip removed, suppose to
be a cyst, but was a mass. We awaited
results of the biopsy, which, thank God, 
was negative!!!! YAY! But the trips
to doctor at Children's Hospital (2 hr. ride)
took up much of my time. LJ also fell 2x
right on his lip. Bleeding but no extra
damage!! YAY, God! It's been a long
couple of weeks but he's healing nicely!
WHEW!!!

Newton's Nook
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis and wonderful die cuts they have!  
Go check them out now!
Here's my card!
I always have fun with Newton's Nook
The tractor was Farming Fun stamps 
and Dies from NN. I bought them to 
make cards for my little 16 month 
old grandson who loves tractors! He 
carries cards like books. He's a honey.
 Not sure about the farmer and chickens...
the embossed, in black, silhouette is from 
Sweet n Sassy. I sponged some blue ink 
for the sky. Embossed the silhouette. 
Added some green card stock. I used 
Copics to color everything.
I raised up the farmer and one chicken. 
Then some layers and that's it.

Bugaboo

Here's my card!
This cute little ant is from the
Picnic Ants 01 set. It is a fun set!! Leave
it to Bugaboo to help create great cards!
I colored my image with Spectrum Noir
and Copic markers. I found an apple 
sentiment online. I changed it a little from
the actual sentiment though. It made me 
smile. Naturally some perfect background
paper was all I needed to finish my card.

 for this challenge: 
A brand NEW sponsor!! So happy
to have them join us at PIP.
Jan's Digi Stamps is kindly offering a

Well...I'm a FAIL for this challenge and 
I really wanted to do Jan's Digital Stamps
justice BUT a headache and a busy 
week has kept me from being productive.
BUT, I will be creating something with 
the awesome digi soon. Don't let my 
lazy and painful week keep you from 
playing along in this week's challenge!!
