Hi everyone! My JiFFy friends and I are here today with our September challenge. We’re a wee bit late but that’s ok.
Just to refresh your memory on how our challenge works, one of us chooses the paper, places it into the mail to everyone and then another of us chooses an image without knowing the paper choice. Sometimes it’s a good mix, sometimes not. That’s what makes it a challenge but it IS just for fun.
Speaking of fun, joining us this month is Lisa Silver, another of our former farm buddies (ha!). We’re excited you’re playing along, Lisa!! 🙂
This month Carole chose the paper, Dried Egg Noodles from Jillibean Soup’s Chicken Noodle Collection. I love their pattern names. Some are so funny…and ALL are wonderful! Once the paper was on it’s way, Julie revealed that she had chosen So Thankful by Hero Arts. So cute!
Thanks for Being You
I made two. This (above) was the second. I liked the first one until I took the picture and then thought maybe the image panel was way too big. Or maybe the brown matting wasn’t big enough. Maybe it’s just too much white space. Here it is (below). You decide. I think I like both but prefer the one above.
(Thanks for sending the extra images, Julie!)
The paper is double-sided with a nice yellow plaid on the reverse, but I decided to stick with only the red. (The dreaded red…oh no!) I figured the area to color was pretty minimal so it wasn’t too terribly scary. I did color EVERYTHING else first, including the background shading, before picking up the red markers. I hate when another marker barely touches the edge of a red area and then drags out the red into your other color. Grrrr… I’m sure it’s just my inexperience.
Be sure to hop on over to see what the other JiFFy girls (and our JiFFy guest) have done with this same stamp set and paper! I can’t wait to see for myself!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
