Favorite Mo Project

This is my favorite Mo project for 2011.   It was never posted to the Challenge site, I did post on Webster's pages.    It was my Father's Day card for my Father - inside sentiment was "You could  look far & wide and never find a better father."   Thanks for looking!

Favorite image/sentiment

Like everyone else I found it impossible to chose a favorite image by Mo so I chose one I haven't used in a challenge.     It is My Friend found here -http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/products/My-Friend.html.   It was a lot of fun to color and I used Copic markers as always.   The paper is from Lilybeedesign - Picket Fence 6x6 Tiny Tablet.   The sentiment is a stamp from Tim Holtz and was stamped with Concord Grape distress ink.    I finished the card with a sheer white ribbon and a net flower from my stash with a pearl in the center.   Thank you for looking!

Toto too

My entry this week in Mo's Digital Challenge Furry Friends is Mo's Kansas - featuring Dorothy and of course, her furry friend, Toto!    There wouldn't have been an adventure if not for Toto, after all.   Image is colored with Copics, paper is Graphic 45, I glittered the ruby red slippers (of course) and finished with glitter domes.   Thank you for looking!

Dancing in the leaves

Something about autumn days makes me feel like dancing.    I chose one of my favorite Mo Manning images for this weeks challenge centering around autumn colors.   The image is Mummu and she is colored with Copics, the leaves falling around here are part of a set I have that actually make a wreath, the leaves in the corner of the card are part of a border collection from K & Company.   I can't identify the manufacturer of the gem leaves and the paper is left over from another project.   I really need a new camera as this picture isn't very good (it has to be the camera, right?   It can't be the operator!)   Thank you for looking.

Back to School

For this week's challenge at Mo's - Back to School and my take on the first day of school picture.   I used the image Helena and Henry, paper pieced Helena's dress then cropped the picture to fit in the frame.   The papers are all Webster's Pages, colored with Copic markers and finished with a grosgrain ribbon.   Thank you for looking

Feeling Blue

This week's challenge from Mo is Feeling Blue.   Blue is my favorite color and I wanted to make the color the star of the show.   I chose the image Prima (one of my favorites and one I use a lot) and the boldest blues I own.   Colors like cobalt accenting with some lighter blues.   I glitzed her up with Stickles and Copic Spica markers.   The paper and bloomers are from Webster's Pages and the punch is Martha Stewart.   Thank you for looking!

Christmas Joy

Sigh, technology is challenging me today.   As did this "anything but a card" challenge.   This is a Christmas wall hanging.    If I could have gotten the picture right you would have been able to tell this is an ornament decorated with the lovely Bella Loves Christmas, ribbon and flowers atop Christmas paper by K & Company.  The sentiment is from Graphic 45 and says "Christmas joy is in my heart".   I had quite a lot more on the plaque but it seemed to overwhelm poor Bella and I wanted her to be star.    It's okay because I have plenty of time to play with this before I hang it up!   Thank you for looking!

Wonder

Easel card for Mo's Challenge.   It's always all about the paper for me and I wanted Mo's image to look as if she is part of the background.   The image is Baby Fairy Yuriko who is feeding a hummingbird.   The paper is from Webster's Pages Wonderfall collection, the trim is, yellow, Webster's Pages, white, K & Company.   Colored with the following Copic Markers:
E000, E00, E21, E49, E50, E51, E53, R32, R20, YR02, G17, G83, BG15, Y17, Y19, Y21.   I also glittered her up but it isn't showing in the picture.  
Thank you for looking!

Giggle

It is a very gray day here and it appears my camera wanted to convey that as the colors on this card are much more vibrant than they appear here.    Anyway, here is my entry to Mo's Challenge this week.   The challenge this week is create something that features something sweet and food related.   I can't think of anything sweeter than cotton candy and this little girl.   You can find her here http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/products/Cotton-Candy.html.   She is colored with surprising few Copic Markers.   The paper is from Basic Grey, their Out of Print collection.   I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder colored over with distress ink and finished with some rick rack trim, pearls and a tag which you cannot read but says Giggle - all from my stash.   Thank you for looking!

Black, White and .......Pink

This week's challenge at Mo's is to create something using only black, white and one other color.   I considered skipping it but remembered I had this beautiful Anna Griffin which was only shades of black, white and pink.   After being inspired by the Design Team's work, I took the challenge.   I chose to use Wednesday's Child (available here http://digitalpenciltoo.com/index.php/Wednesday-s-Child.html?keyword=wednesday\\\\\\\%27s+child).   Oh the drama, coupled with the color black I decided that this would make a good "big" birthday card - you know the birthdays I mean, the ones that send a person into a tailspin.     I colored her with Copic markers using 100, C3, C5, C7, W1, Rv00, R00 and R81.  I finished the card off with a very pink ribbon (the color in the paper unfortunately doesn't show up very well) and pearls from Memory Makers.   Thank you for looking!

Thinking of you

This week's entry at Mo's challenge - vintage, distressed and with lace.   I found some toile paper, used some lace from my stash and vintage buttons from Webster's pages.   The image is http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/products/Teacup-Fairy.html and is colored with Copic markers.   Thank you for looking.

Cake

Here's my entry for this week's Mo's Challenge which is Flowers, Fairies, Flutters and Fancy Fold.   This started out a fancy fold card but I couldn't make it work so I'm going with the Cupcake Fairy from Mo and maybe we can count the flags as flutters.    The fairy is colored with Copic markers to match the cupcake paper that came from stash along with the dotted swiss by My Minds Eye.   The flag stamps and sentiment are both from Hero Arts - Friendly Flags and Birthday Messages.    I finished the card with pink satin ribbon and fibers.    Thank you for looking!

Spring Harvest

Here's my entry for Mo's Challenge this week.   Here are the parameters:

"A Recipe for Friendship"

Take two people with common interests,
Mix together with love and understanding,
Stir in a sense of humor and a lot of compassion,
Bake for a lifetime...

and enjoy the fruits of your labor knowing that you both have made a remarkable concoction that will last forever!

Create a card or project with one element in this recipe. It could be an image with 2 people, an image that portrays love or a sense of humor. You could even create a card with a recipe included or something that has to do with cooking.  

Soooo, I used the image Harvest Dancers - a very challenging image to color.   I purchased it to use as wall art and intend to size it to 8 1/2 x 11 for that project so it will be easier to color, this one at approx 3 1/2" square was difficult.     I think it fits the challenge as obviously these guys have known each other long enough to celebrate their harvest.   And while we generally view the harvest as coming in autumn there are harvests throughout the growing season and I thought it would be a good opportunity to tie it to the Webster's Pages Spring Market line.    After all, all good things in any recipe originate at the hands of a farmer and if you're lucky you can get your fresh ingredients at a farmers market.   Anyway, no details to provide - image was colored with Copic markers, I have no idea which ones as I was concentrating on staying within the lines!   Thank you for looking -

                                               

Pearls & Flowers

Happy Thursday!   I actually colored this little girl a few months ago just because I think she's so beautiful.   Of course she fit naturally into a challenge that includes pearls & flowers.    She is Flower Girl and she can be purchased from Mo Manning here http://digitalpenciltoo.com/index.php/Flower-Girl.html.   Naturally this is a wedding card.    The image is colored with Copic markers, the paper is from Webster's Pages.   The doily is actually scrap from packaging - never throw anything away!   I completed the card with a string of pearls and some roses.   Thank you for looking!

Hello Summer!
