Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Layers

Happy Thursday and welcome to the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and the theme Layers.  This can be interpreted a lot of ways but I really wanted to use this darling new image from Mo so my choice is to use the layers of Odette's tutu to fulfill the theme:

Oh, I am in love with this darling little ballerina with her sweet little puckery smile and that curly topped head of hair.   Colored with copic markers and highlighted with pink and clear glittery Atyou pen. 

Layered in pink and Pink and white checked designer paper.  I added a pink and white polka dot sheer ribbon, a silver lace photo corner topped (layered) with a hand made pink rose bud and in the lower left corner I created a delicate floral cluster of two rose buds and a new Daisy quilled flower in pink and white.  Had to play with my new kit :)    There is an additional layer of a lace paper doile under the main  image layer.  That is a lot of layers for me.....I think she is just the cutest thing and because she is she will sit on my shelf for just a little bit :)

Be sure to stop by the Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT and GDT members have created for you, I know it is going to be wonderful.  Play along in the challenge for a chance to win a Mo's image and Mo has so many new,   and old images that I can never get enough......Check out the store.

Here in the States it is a Holiday week-end called Labor Day week-end and because it is my MIL's 90th Birthday this week-end there is going to be a celebration and the whole family is coming in so I have taken the week-end off from work so have a wonderful 4 day week-end off...like a mini-vacation LOL.   It will be so nice...So looking forward to seeing all of the kids and grand kids...

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day!!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Back to School

It's Tuesday and that means it is time for a new Sassy Cheryl's Challenge, aren't they fun!!!  This week Jeni has chosen the theme, Back to School and for most children this is fun, some have to Cowgirl Up for it including our Cowboy Sally:

Colored with copic markers in pink and brown with green, she is a cowgirl after all.  I mounted her on a piece of notebook dp which I punched with a SU spiral punch and then I had a perfect Corrective Action tag, because you know this little Cowgirl is going to get a note from the teacher and her parents are going to lay down the law!!! hopefully not too many of the boxes will be checked. 

You all know how much I am addicted to flowers and I made the beautiful flower in the lower left corner with a new cuttlebug quilled daisy kit which included the quilling pen, 4 dies and stems, how cool is that.  Took me about 5 min to roll it all together, I see a lot of these in my future, oh quit groaning, you know you love them LOL.

Be sure to drop by the Challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT has created for you to see. 

I know Sassy Cheryl will have some new images for you and be sure to grab a couple and play along with us for a chance to win two images in the random drawing which is held every week. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative week.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Distress it

Oh, I am in love, the challenge this week at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge is Distress it. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Vintage and so this is right up my alley.  I had a special gift to make and decided to make a piece of framed art and not card.  I used the new Adventure Guy:

This was perfect to symbolize all of the memories and treasures of adventures new and old . The metal tag which, of course, would not photograph well, says Enjoy the Journey.  Love all of the, Tim Holtz, embellishments that always add so much to the distress, antique feel of my creation.  A really fun size to work with, The frame is 8X10 so I enlarged the image as big as I could and still managed to keep the print image from distorting the pixels at about a 5x7 printed image...pretty cool huh!

 Hope my friend likes it.

Be sure to drop by the Challenge blog and check out what the rest of the DT has created and then join the challenge for a chance to win a Mo's Image. Mo has some new images that are just too cute so be sure to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful creative day.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge-- Your Favorite Color Combo

Yea it is Tuesday and that means that it is time for another Sassy Cheryl's Challenge and the theme this week is your Favorite Color combo.  Here is what I chose:

I love coral and teal together and Sassy Sally and her Autumn Leaves.  I colored the image with copic markers and sponged with distress markers.  Mounted on carmel cs which I edged with my spiral SU punch.  I added a poste card tag with a tissue paper flower in the lower right corner,  a band of netted trim I love, and a hand made hat pin tied with a white organdy bow.  All mounted on a beautiful Vintage polka dot dp with a side band of cute sentiment dp which I thought went so well with the image and color scheme.

Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog and check out the rest of the DT cards.  I know that Sassy Cheryl has been creating some new fun fall and Halloween characters so be sure to stop by and grab a couple and play along in the Challenge...you could win 2 images how cool would that be!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day...go create something, you know you want to!!  :)

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Just for Him!!

Yippee!!! Tuesday is Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Day and Jackie is the hostess this week and has chosen another wonderful theme:  Just for Him.  I chose Overload at School:

Thinking of all of my grandchildren going back to school this image seemed perfect for the boys who never seem as excited about going back as the girls do, so I though a card might make it a little more fun :)  The image was colored with copic markers and mounted with a blue layer left to tie the red and white ribbon at the bottom tied in a knot so as to be more masculine.

The dp's are miscellaneous from my local scrapbook stores I have had in my stash waiting for back to school projects and I used my cricut to create the #1 Student sentiment on the Tim Holtz label.  I made the pleated rosette and tied a strand of bakers twine in the apple button in its center.

Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT has created for this fun challenge theme and be sure to grab an image and play along.  A winner is picked at random each week and wins two images of their choosing so jump in and enter, I know Sassy Cheryl has created some super new, cute, and Sassy images this week, so even more to choose from.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Anything Goes

Can you believe that it is Thursday already??? Time for Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and the theme this week is: Anything Goes,  so, go wild!!!  I fell in love with this adorable elephant when I saw it and thought of this card immediately but didn't use it until today, I Forgot!:

I used three of these little guys and created a card and thought the perfect sentiment was...drum roll..... Tons of Love....:)   I thought they would look adorable with a brown and pink background, mainly because I don't have any grey and pink dp, do you??? 

I know a couple of kids would would love to get this card. I love the yarn that I wound around the bottom of the card and attached a brown felt bow with a pink button tied with a pink strand of yarn.  I tied all of the buttons with pink yarn. 

Be sure to stop by the challenge blog and see what the DT has created for this fun challenge and  I just want to say that we had so many wonderful entries for the Guest Designer spots, you guys are so talented it is so hard to pick 3 gals.
