Mo's Challenge # 161

Let's Chill!

Mo's Challenge this week is "Let's Chill!"

I suppose that can be interpreted at least two ways.....it could be something that

 shows a relaxed attitude or something to do with cold weather. I chose to go with the second meaning because the weather here is getting a bit chilly!

My card uses Mo's sweet "Winifred" which is a great image to paper-piece.

 I haven't done this technique for quite some time, and I really enjoyed it.

I put a new blade in my Xacto knife, and it made a huge difference in the ease of cutting!

I hit the organdy ribbon with a heat gun to make it curl and age it slightly.

"C"is for........

That's Mo's Challenge for this week! The "C" can stand for anything you like.

 Just make a card or project using one of Mo's wonderful images and make sure it includes something that starts with 'C"!

I've used Mo's sweet "New Baby" on my card. It's also available with just the little girl peeking into the bassinet. There are actually three things that qualify this card for the challenge....the children, the carnations, and their curiosity about the new baby!

I've used Mo's "Fall Fairy Jensen" on my card. Isn't he adorable?!
I love coloring pumpkins...probably because orange is one of my favorite colors!
I composed a short poem for the inside. I'm no Robert Frost, but here it is!

"Fall is the nicest of seasons
For so many reasons.
The colorful leaves are a pleasure to view,
 But the best reason of all,
We get to celebrate YOU!
Happy Birthday!"

 Don't say I didn't warn you! LOL!

Mo's Challenge #158

Cute and Cuddly!

I'm late posting my blog this week! I've not been feeling well, as my arthritis has acted up making it hard to do much of anything with my hands.

I find myself feeling a bit better now....at least I'm able to type!

This little girl is so adorable!  My husband and I loved nothing better about parenting than cuddling up with our freshly-bathed, pajama-clad  little ones and reading them a story before bedtime.

Inside: "Time to retire? Enjoy every minute. You've earned it!"

Mo's Challenge #157

Autumn Fun!

Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the cool, crisp air and the beautiful fall foliage.

 Picking apples, and carving pumpkins are just part of the fun of the season!

"Autumn Fun" is this week's theme for Mo's Challenge.

This little girl is saying goodbye to a little robin that's heading south for the winter.

The little maple leaves were made with a punch then embossed using the Nellie Snellen rose leaf

embossing tool. I've found it can be used to give realistic veining to many styles and sizes of punched leaves. I ran the piece of light-weight cardboard though a paper crimper several times in both directions to achieve the texture

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Cuttlebug with Quickcutz flourish die, MS Branch border punch, 

EK Success maple leaf punch, Nellie Snellen rose leaf embossing tool, Paper Crimper

Papers: SU! Gable Green and Pumpkin and fall colored scraps, Neenah white, Light-weight

 cardboard

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon

Please join us in this week's Mo's Challenge! Just make an autumn themed card using one of Mo's great digital images for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil!

Mo's Challenge #156

'B' is for.........

Mo's Challenge this week is anything that begins with 'B', so it's pretty much 

wide open to interpretation!

 I've chosen 'Birthday' as the theme for my card.

 

 I just love this image! It's cute and so much fun to color!

 I found a pink button in my stash that reminds me of  frosting on a cupcake, so I had to use it along with some scraps of Basic Grey DP! I think the card looks like a confection with all the pastels and frill!

Mo's Challenge #155

Anything Goes With Mo's

That's Mo's Challenge this week! So easy...I love it!

I used the opportunity to make a masculine card. My husband needed a 'thank you' card for a friend whose hospitality he enjoyed on a trip to New York State with his brother recently. 

I paper-pieced the recliner. I love doing that, but don't often think of  it when I'm printing out my images. It's much easier to print the DP at the same time so that you don't have to guess what size the image is!

Inside: "Thanks for making me feel right at home!"

 Images: "King for the Day" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment from TLC

Tools: Copics, MS Border punch, Glue dots

Papers: SU! Curry, Cocoa, and Olive CS, Neenah white, Paper Studio DP

Embellishments: Twine, Buttons

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I've had this image colored for some time now, and just got around to making a card with it.

The little diamonds across the bottom are the negative pieces from a lattice die. That's proof that I save everything!

Images: "A, My Name is Alice" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment

Tools: Copics, Lattice die from Cheery Lynn, MS Butterfly and Hydrangea punches, SU! Oval punches, Tacky Tape

Papers: SU! Red, Pink, and Bashful Blue, Neenah white, SU! DP (Very old!)

Embellishments: Tiny pearl cabochons

*********************

I was in a red, white, and blue mood!

Images: "Waiting for the Parade" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment from TLC

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Fine black marker, MS Border punches, Corner punch, Nellie Snellen embossing leaf punch set

Papers: SU! Red and Bashful Blue, Neenah white, Basic Grey DP

Embellishments: Flowers from WOC, Grosgrain ribbon

Well, that's it for this week! I hope you'll make something wonderful using an image from Mo and enter the challenge for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate from her shop!
