A Long Over-due ‘Just for Fun’ Challenge
It’s been way too long since my good buddy, Carole, and I have done one of our Just for Fun challenges. To refresh your memory, we take turns, one of us choosing paper and the other choosing the image, but the choices are made without knowing which paper or image is chosen by the other. That’s the “challenge” part. The rest is “Just for Fun!”
This time around I sent to Carole this double-sided pink and brown paper by Kaiser. I know you can’t see much of it because I nearly covered it all. (I tend to do that sometimes.) But when I saw it, my first thought was “This is so ME!” I love pink and brown. I’m not sure if Carole does…I guess I’ll find out. 
Once I mailed the paper, Carole chose this cute Inkadinkado image of birds.
Together, Life is Sweet!
These little guys (or gals) are a Quartet of friends. Each one is different from the other, but they love each other just the same, as good friends should. They don’t ruffle each other’s feathers and they’re always there when they need each other.
I had a hard time matching the paper with my “limited” number of Copic markers, so I blew the dust off of my Prismacolor pencils and used those. I really should leave them out so I’ll use them more often.
All the panels are raised on pop dots and the hardware was a gift from the very sweet Jessica Rone. (Thank you again, Jessie!!)
Please be sure to check out Carole’s project! I’m sure it’s fabulous!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

This is just so sweet and pretty! Love those colours!
Fantastic, Michele — and you do such a fabulous job with those Prismacolors, you really do need to keep them out! Your birdies are much sweeter then the gossiping gaggle in my card! Of course, the same could probably said for you and me! ; )
Very cute! I love the color combo too!
WOW, that is GORGEOUS! Is there a fire behind the birds? LMAO I am TOTALLY kidding and need some soft shadowy lessons.
What do you use?
Love the colors in your card-cute bird image. tfs
I love those fancy little birds! Pink and brown is such a gorgeous combo too….love this card!
Love the paper chosen and the image; oh so cute. You both did a superb job (no surprise there)!!
Wow, Michele, your colouring with Prismas is amazing!! Love the square nesties….I NEED those ones! Warm and rich card….fabulous job!
Do you realize you both colored the birds almost identically?
Love the paper and layout.. thanks for sharing!
So cute - what a fun challenge! Regarding leaving your Prismacolor pencils out so you remember to use them - wouldn’t it be great to have EVERYTHING out so we could remember to use it! Just a little bit of an impossibility! LOL!!
Way too cute! Love that little quartet! And, yep! pink and brown..that is so you!
Just stunning Michele! I always love your yummy colors and card details!
this is a true beauty!!! LOVELY!
I love those birds, and your coloring is beautiful, Michele!! I love your patterned paper and all of your sewing as well!!
This is just too cute!!
These birds are adorable and the paper and the colors are great. I really like the combination of all of it together!
Gorgeous! Beautifully put together, love the stitching and colors.
