So Krafty!

Kim is our hostess for this week, and she wants us to us to use Kraft card stock in our creations! I've colored on Kraft with Prismacolor pencils before, and I love the look,  but I much prefer the speed of my Copics for coloring. I decided to use the Kraft for my card body instead of coloring an image on Kraft. I used it to make the daisies, too. I used regular brads for the centers and dotted them using a Spica pen and Multiliner.

I made this card to welcome a new couple to our rural neighborhood.

Images: "Tall Houses" (a set of three) from Mo's Digital Pencil, SU! stamped sentiment (I used the 'omitting' technique, as the stamp said "Welcome Baby")

Tools: Copics, Spica and Multiliner pens, Prismacolor pencil, MS Fence, Leaf, and Daisy punches, Nellie Snellen leaf embosser, Black marker

Papers: SU! Reds, Gable Green, and Kraft CS, Neenah white

Now it's your turn to show us your wonderful creations using at least one of Mo's great images!

Turquoise!

 Tine is our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week, and she wants us to use turquoise on our cards and

projects. That was easy for me as I love to use turquoise. I think it goes well with so many other colors!

I love this image! I don't know what it is about her that appeals so much to me, but I always love working with her, and I always seem to make her a red-head!

Inside: "Sending you a bucketful of sunshine!"

Images: "Maggie" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment from PrintWorks

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Prismacolor pencil, Cuttlebug with die, Oval punches.

Papers: SU! Turquoise and Apricot, Recollections gingham DP, Digital star DP, Neenah white

Embellishments: Brads

This card uses another of my favorite images! I just love the look on this baby's face! This card doesn't have any turquoise on it, but aqua is a close cousin!

Image: "Spit Happens" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment

Tools: Copics, MS Lace border punch

Papers: SU! Soft Sky and Daffodil, Neenah white, MS DP

Celebrating Love!

Oops! Time got away from me, and I'm very late in posting my card for this week's Challenge!

My younger sister is visiting from Dallas, so there have been a lot of family activities to occupy my thoughts and time.

 

 

Anja is our hostess for this week, and she has chosen the theme of  "Love" for Mo's Challenge.

This card is one of three that I made for our daughter-in-law to choose from for a wedding she and our son were  attending.  Mo has images of three wedding couples, so I used a different one on each card.

Images: "Wedding Couple" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Anna Griffin embossing folder and Nestibilities die, Fiskar's punch

Papers: SU! Lavender and Gable Green, Neenah whit, PTI white

Embellishments: Satin ribbon, Roses from WOC

Please join us in Mo's Challenge this week to celebrate love! Just follow the theme making a card or project using at least one of Mo's fabulous images and enter for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate from Mo's Digital Pencil!

Mo's Challenge #192

'F' is For.......

  Mo's Challenge this week is to make a card or project using at least one of Mo's great images with a theme or element that begins with an 'F'.

My 'F' is for formal, but it could also be for frame,  flourish, or flowers!

Our daughter-in-law needed a card for a wedding she and our son were attending. I made three different cards using Mo's three wedding couple images so that she could choose the one she liked.

 The one above is the one she chose!

Image: "Married" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, Gold Metallic pen, Spica pens, Cuttlebug with Embossing folder and Marianne swirl die, Glue dots

Papers: Neenah white, PTI white, Gold metallic CS

Embellishments: Flowers from WOC, Tiny pearl cabochons.

Here's another, and I'll show you the the third one next week!

I used Core'dination paper and my new Anna Griffin embossing folder for the background. It was lightly sanded to reveal the under-lying color. I'd never used this paper before, and I really like the effect.

Inside: "May your hearts still be dancing long after the music has stopped."

Fun in the Sun! (NOT!)

I know this doesn't seem to fit the theme for Mo's Challenge this week, but hear me out. I work with 12 and 13 year old kids, and towards the end of school I asked them what they would be doing during their summer vacation. Almost all the boys said they would be playing video games during their time off!

 No "Fun in the Sun" for them, I guess! 

I love the 'glazed over' look on his face! If you have gamers in your family, you know that look well!

I colored the image first, then found this perfect masculine plaid DP in my stash. I couldn't believe how well it picked up all the colors I had used!

Inside: "Now that I have your attention,  Happy Birthday!"

Image: "Game On" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Computer-generated sentiment

Tools: Copics, Silver metallic pen, Prismacolor pencil, Square punch,  Mounting tape, Tacky tape

Papers: SU! Gable Green, Only Orange, Blue (?), Neenah white, MME DP

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon, Natural twine, Buttons

Mo's Challenge #189

School's Out!

At least it will be for me next Wednesday! I love my job, but I love summer vacation, too!
"School's Out" is  Mo's Challenge theme for this week.

I made this card for our daughter's birthday. She's addicted to facebook!
This is pretty much what I'll be doing, though, once school is out for the summer....on the computer and not getting dressed until noon! LOL!

Inside: "Happy Birthday from two people who 'Like' you very much!"

Image: "Checking FB" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Mounting tape

Papers: SU! Turquoise and Green Galore (I'm really bummed that they discontinued that color!), Neenah white, Unknown DPs

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon, Prima flowers, Flower brads

 I've used "Georgie Cartwheel" on this card. He's as excited as I am about getting out of school!  He has not been put in the new store yet. If you want him, just ask Mo and she'll make him available for you.

I've made a spinner card with him. You can find the instructions for these cards on Splitcoast Stampers. They are fairly easy to make and kids love them! Below are more views of the way he spins across the card.

 Images: "Georgie Cartwheel" From Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment

Tools: Copic Markers, Oval punches, Slot Punch, Dimensional dots, Pennies Glue Dots

Papers: SU! Red and Blue, Neenah white, Unknown DP
