School Days!

Our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week is the talented Tracy! Her theme is "Back to School", and Mo has so many adorable images that will fit the bill!

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Glue Dots, Fine black marker

papers: SU! Marigold, Poppy, and Green Galore, Neenah smooth white, Digital DP

Mo's Challenge #235

For a Girl's Birthday!

I'm hosting Mo's Challenge this week, and, since it's my birthday month, I chose this theme.

Of course, I'm not a girl any longer, but we won't talk about that!

I was thinking of our eleven year old granddaughter when I made this....she's just crazy about all those bright colors! She wants to paint the trim in her room an electric blue and the wall in an acid green! Yuck! I can't imagine living with that day after day!

Tools, Copcs, White gel pen, Cuttlebug with Vine die, SU! flower punch

Papers: SU! Teal, Orange, And Green, Neenah white, Digital DP

Please join us in Mo's Challenge for the next two weeks. Just make a card or project using one of Mo's images and following the theme for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil Too!

Mo's Challenge #234

Things With Wings!

Anja is our hostess for Mo's Challenge this time, and she's requested that we use an image with wings. Mo has so many wonderful fairies that this will be an easy one!

This little bee is adorable and so much fun to color! I used the 'Out of the Box' technique on this card. I just love the effect of having some of the image outside the frame. The ruffle was made with double ruffled gingham ribbon. I stuck a piece of tacky tape down the center of the back of the ribbon, then cut it down the middle to get this thin ruffle. Just remove the backing on the tape and adhere it along the back edge of the circle. I colored the little flowers with the same Copic marker I used on the flower he's holding.

It's All About the Boys!

Our hostess for Mo's Challenge for the next two weeks is our talented Franz! She asked us all to make cards and projects for the birthdays of the boys in our lives. The DT has come up with some fabulous examples! Please check out their incredible work and leave them some love on their blogs.

My card uses one of the sweet little sailors from Mo's "Sailor Boys" set, which includes three boys along with some great accessories for all sorts of design possibilities!

Mo's Challenge #232

It's All About the Girls!

For the next two weeks at Mo's Challenge Blog, we'd love to see cards and projects that are girly and feminine. We all know how easy that will be!

I've used this fun image from Mo's Digital Pencil Too called "Girly-Girl Candy"....very appropriate for this theme, I think! 

This card started with the digital watermelon and plaid papers from my scraps and, of course, this sweet  image. I then colored her with Copic markers and white gel pen to coordinate with the DP, chose SU! card stock that went well and colored these cute watermelon slices from Meljens Designs to finish it off along with  grosgrain ribbon and tiny pearl cabochons.
I may add a small stamped sentiment in the lower corner above the pearls.

Please join us and let us see your wonderful girly creations! You may even win a $5.00 gift certificate from Mo's Digital Pencil Too!

Mo's Challenge #231

Summer Flowers

That's the theme for Mo's Challenge for the next two weeks. It was chosen by my DT sister, Nela.

I don't think there's any flower that says "SUMMER" like daisies. I just love them!

This was made as a retirement/goodbye card as we have several people leaving school this year. Some are retiring and some are moving on to other positions in other schools. They will all be missed! Next year it will be my turn. I figure age seventy is a good age to call it quits, don't you?

Images:  "Shucks" from Mo's Digital Pencil Too, Computer-generated sentiment

Tools: Copic Markers, White opaque marker, MS Branch, Fence, and Grass punches, Glue dots

Papers: SU! Curry, Poppy, Pumpkin, Garden Green , and Celery, Neenah white, Cosmo Cricket DP

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon, Daisies from WOC

Let's see your 'Summer Flowers' in Mo's Challenge. It runs for the next two weeks, so you have plenty of time to create something wonderful and enter for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil Too!

Thanks for the visit!

Mo's Challenge # 230

New Beginnings!

That's the theme for Mo's Challenge for the next two weeks! There are so many new beginnings in our lives...new jobs, retirement, graduations, babies, marriages...the list goes on! 

I'm often asked  for cards for baby showers, but this is the first time I've used an image that was so perfect for the occasion. Isn't this baby adorable? 

I paper-pieced the outside of the umbrella then mimicked the polka dots on the inside using a Copic blender marker. The image and sentiment tag are popped up with mounting tape.

Images: "Baby Shower" from Mo's Digital Pencil Too, Digital sentiment

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Cuttlebug with Oval dies and Embossing folder, Mounting tape

Paper: SU! Bashful Blue, Pacific Point, Neenah white

We'd love to have you join us in Mo's Challenge with your "New Beginnings" creation! The challenge runs for two weeks, and you might just win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil Too!

Hope to see you there!

Here's a card I did recently using ADFD image. I'm entering it in their current challenge.

Our daughter is giving it to our granddaughter's instructor to thank her for all her efforts.
