Hey Everyone….I trust you’ve all been blessed with a wonderful weekend!!! My they just seem to go by so quickly don’t they!!!!
Well….I think I had a productive weekend…..thought I didn’t create any new files in the creation of the following pieces…I did have a lot of fun playing with paper…and hope you’ll still enjoy seeing them even without new files…..It’s been so long since I’ve done this much creating in one weekend!!! LOL
So the first think I needed to work on were some ATC’s for my ATC Swap I host every month in my ARTHaven Creations & Friendships group……this months’ theme was Hearts/Love….so here’s what I came up with……
I really love the softness these seem to have…..with a bit of grungy…..I ‘m quite happy with these…I hope the recipients will be….
So…the next thing I had to work on was a Hangie Dangle swap…..again in my ARTHaven Group…Now before I show you this I’ll go ahead and say I struggled with this….just couldn’t come up with an idea I really liked…..but I ended up with something I like….not love….but like….The flowers you see on this piece I did not create…they were some I’ve had for quite a while and figured I would use them……
The buttons create a heart shape…(this idea I love…) It was an idea I found off Pinterest!!! Isn’t that site AMAZING!!! LOL So many gorgeous gorgeous pieces others create!!!! I think the button heart is my favorite part of this piece!!!
So…..the next thing I worked on is a Tag Swap in the ARTHaven group….This was to be something reflecting Valentine’s day…..I love how it ended……was nothing like I had originally envisioned…LOL.. don’t you just love how that happens!!! 
Now I DID create the long stem roses for this piece……I colored them with Jumbo Java Chalk ink on the edges and spritzed with some of my homemade spritzers with Pearl Ex, Pump Hairspray and Worn Lipstick Distress Reinkers…….
The rhinestones were clear….on the ribbon slide and half the rhinestones on the swirles…..I colored them with alcohol markers to match the colored ones I also used…..they turned out perfect….it’s a nice way to be able to custom color things to get the perfect color you need…..Just thought I would throw that out there….
Now I KNOW some of you are going to fall in love with the “torn” notebook paper cut file I’ve made……I can’t take credit for creating this file….Our Paulo made this a while back….it’s it AWESOME!!!!! If you want the file for yourself…you can find it on his site here…. http://scale-files.blogspot.com/2009/10/nbpaper-piece.html …..Oh yeah…if you’ve not been to his site before….Just let me tell you to be prepared…You are going to be AWED!!!! He’s SO gifted and an amazing person to boot!!!!
Ok….now I have one more piece to share with you…I needed to make a card/envie for a swap in ARTHaven…..I had drawn a blank when it came to this…LOL…..so I tried to use scrap papers to create this……after playing around I did come up with something I’m quite happy with……
Got a lot of bling going on don’t I!!! LOL But I just loved it when I did it!!! Now…I did not make the flower on this piece…but isn’t it AWESOME!!! My very dear friend…Angie Hall Haviland made these…and I just HAD to buy some from her……I LOVE them….You can check out her shop here…. http://www.etsy.com/people/AngieHallHaviland She is SUCH a gifted ARTist….I just can’t say that enough….
Okie Dokie….That catches me up for the night!!! It felt SO AWESOME to play with paper…..And I can’t THANK YOU all enough for coming by to visit with me to check it out..I really hope you like what I’ve shared…..I also hope you will come by to visit with me again soon…I would like to wish you all a very blessed week!!!! Until next time…
Every piece is gorgeous.....................and so full of Penny Love! Fantastic job girlfriend! You always amaze me with your talent!

Penny these 4 works of art are a delight to see, the Atc's are stunning.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! So beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe projects are gorgeous... is that a special die cut or is it an svg file in your first project in this page????
ReplyDeleteWow Penny these are awesome! You have been 1 busy lady creating all of these! Thanks for the link to Mystic Thumbs too, it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are beautiful! Glad you had a good time playing in your studio! just wanted to let you know I received the grunge package on Saturday and am so thrilled- It is just what I needed! Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeletePenny, you have so many cut files on your webpage, that it's hard to go thru them all to find which one you used on your first project, the card with the bow on top......can you tell us the name of it? I have been following your site for a long time and love your work.
ReplyDeletePenny...awesome...you my friend are so very talented and I love every piece you create. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful creations, Penny! You should have been named "Grace" because you are amazing!!!! Love you....
ReplyDeleteI just love your atc's especially the first one with the hearts. Are the cut files available for this awesome project please...I've just noticed your skydrive has gone down again. Hope you give Microsoft what for again.xx
ReplyDeleteHi, Penny,
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! I love everything you have done!
I was just wondering if you could go over to my blog (Cheryl's Place) and see if the background is working, it is not when I go there. Just wondering if I have done something wrong. I don't remember doing anything having to do with the background. Thank you, Penny!
These are beautimouse!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Love all of them!!! : )

ReplyDeleteHello Penny, I recently discovered your blog and projects. I was so surprised and delighted that you so generously and graciously shared your beautiful flowers and other designs. Imagine my surprise when I came back tonight and discovered they were gone! Please let us know how we can access these designs again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the first one with the hearts.
ReplyDeletePenny the designs are all fabulous. I think my favorite is your heart ATCs they are so soft and gorgeous! I am always amazed when you start or see something in your head and then it does turn out better than you imagined, know exactly what you mean. I loved the purple Postale envie also...so very pretty. Your Long stem roses are so very beautiful. Always love those and the colors you mixed with the pearl EX are gorgeous colors. You sure had a very productive weekend. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since I have been able to visit blogs.... I missed so much on yours.... Such beautiful creations... love them all.
ReplyDeleteOh my Penny.... I love them all!!! The ATC's are gorgeous! they are all gorgeous!!
