Halloween/Fantasy!

Our hostess for this week's Mo's Challenge is Debbie. She has asked us  to make Halloween or fantasy themed cards or projects. I love making Halloween cards but don't have much use for them, so this one is done with sort of a Halloween feel, but it's actually an anniversary card.


Inside: " Whooo loves ya baby?
I do, that's whooo!
Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!"


Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Sewing machine, Prismacolor pencils, MS Branch border punch, Cuttlebug with Nestibilities Scalloped circle  and plain circle dies, Mounting tape

Papers: SU! Pumpkin, Wasabi, Artichoke, and Summer Sun, Bazzill Brown, Neenah white, Basic Grey DP

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon, Beads, Leaf charms (WOC)

We hope you'll join us and share your creation with us in Mo's Challenge this week! Enter for a chance to win a$5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil!

Mo's Challenge #207



They Call Me Mellow Yellow!

This week Kim is our hostess for Mo's Challenge. She asked us to make a card or project using Mo's favorite color, which happens to be yellow...a bright and sunny color for a girl with a sunny disposition!



Unfortunately, this little she-bear isn't too bright or sunny! She's not feeling 'beary' well at all!
Her bathrobe is paper-pieced, but the gingham pattern doesn't show up very well.

Images: "Beary Sick" , female version (a male version is also available, and both come with a digital sentiment) from Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Scalloped oval die, Circle punches, MS Hydrangea punch, Xacto knife, Glue dots, Mounting tape

Papers: SU! Daffodil and Summer Sun, Neenah white, PTI white, DP

Embellishments: Satin ribbon, Yellow Gingham ribbon, Tiny pearl cabochons

Please join us in Mo's Challenge this week for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil!

Hope you are well!

Mo's Challenge #206



Vintage Late 40's to Early 50's

Our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week, Cathy, wants projects with a vintage theme using at least one image from Mo's Digital Pencil. Vintage can mean different things to different people, so feel free to use your interpretation of your favorite vintage era!


This reminds me of kitchens from the late 40's and early 50's when fruit themes were popular, and kitchen gadgets all had wooden handles painted red or green! My mother had colored plaster fruit plaques on the walls and her small utensils had green handles! She also had a white tablecloth with a red aster print! I think Mummu would feel at home in a kitchen like that!


This is the same card with a few changes. The more I looked at the original, the less I cared for it. I guess I'm just not too fond of symmetry! I added a few more red daisies and leaves, and I'm much happier with it now!

Images: "Mummu's Letter" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment

Tools: Copics, Sewing machine, SU! scallop border and daisy punches, MS Hydrangea punch, Nellie Snellen embossing rose leaf punch set

Papers: SU! Poppy Parade, Bashful Blue, Neenah white, Digital DP

Embellishments: Tiny pearl cabochons, Brads

Show us your take on 'vintage', and enter Mo's Challenge for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil.

Mo's Challenge #205



Something Sweet or Good to Eat!

Tracy is our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week, and she wants us to use at least one image from Mo's Digital Pencil to make a card or project that shows something sweet! It could feature a food item
 or just a sweet image...it's up to you!



I think this fits both criteria. Strawberries are delicious and this little girl
certainly is sweet! She's one of Mo's series of  "Fruit Girls"....each one as cute as the next!

Images: "Strawberry Girl" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital strawberry sentiment

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Daisy dies, Nellie Snellen embossing leaf punch set, Mounting tape, Sewing machine

Papers: SU! Blush Blossom, Garden Green, Neenah white, Digital DP

Embellishments: Corduroy brads, Grosgrain ribbon
