Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--End of Summer!

Thursday means time for a new Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge, and the theme is, End of Summer.  I always think of the End of summer meaning School, and an Apple for the Teacher! so I chose the new, Harvest  Apple Fairy:

Isn't this just the sweetest little fairy you have ever seen, at least since the last one that Mo created and until she makes another one...I always love Mo's little fairies :)  I think any teacher would make this little harvest apple fairy her favorite student.  Not sure my apple doesn't look more like a peach, but I will just have to practice my technique, darn the bad luck :)

Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has created for the challenge and grab an image and play along.  If you are interested in a Guest Design position for 3 months with the team put GD behind your name with your challenge entry for consideration.  There will still be the usual random drawing for a 5 dollar gift
certificate to the Mo's Store, for every 25 entries to the Challenge.  Have you seen all of the new images that Mo has been creating?  They are so awesome...I did some buying last week :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative week.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Make a Splash!

I can't believe that it is almost Fall already and that the time for playing in the water is almost over.  The Make a Splash theme is perfect for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge this week.  I chose Quiet Moments with Max:

Colored with copic markers, clouds airbrushed. then image mounted  on neutral dp's.  I punched a border on the right side and used some washi tape I made that had the perfect sayings on it for a quiet contemplative visit with a friend by the pond :)  A ribbon on the left hand side onto which I added a button bike trinket I made to go with this card to symbalize that Max might have ridden his bike to the pond to visit his friend and tell him all about what he had done all summer.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT cards and see what water or splash themed cards they created, then grab a Sassy Cheryl image and play along for a chance to win  no one but two Sassy Cheryl's images of your choosing in the random drawing held each and every week.  Now tell me, does it get any better than that!!!

Of course you must use a Sassy Cheryl's image to enter and win...no brainer....

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day :)

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Sweet!!!

Happy Thursday!! Time for a new, Mo's Challenge, with a Sweet theme this week.  Of course I have been way too good for way too long so I had to stretch the theme just the tiniest bit...but every single one of Mo's images are Sweet so they all qualify, right?... so I chose, Gathering Kindling:

I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it and couldn't wait to use it .  I dug out my Christmas dp and after two sets of photo corners these were the right ones :).  I added a wooden die cut bird, blue flower, lace and sweet smile sentiment to make this a wonderful cover for my Christmas Journal this year.  Some of my favorite images to color are the Sweet Children of Christmas and Winter that Mo creates, I can spend hours and hours coloring them.  Love them.

Be sure to stop by the Challenge Blog and see what Sweet images my Teamies chose and be sure to grab a Mo's image and play along.  Have you seen all the new Mo's images has put in the store lately, totally awesome, grab an image and play along in the challenge for a chance to win one of the gift certificates given as a prize for each 25 entries.  Remember you must use a Mo's image, you colored yourself to enter the challenge, easy peasy.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Black and White!!

Happy Tuesday!!! Time for a new Sassy Cheryl's Challenge for which I am the hostess and this week I chose the theme, Black and White, as in a black and white photo:

I chose, Come Here Often, featuring the handsome Noah.  Colored with many shades of grey and just to keep it from looking ghastly normal flesh tones :) Hey it's my theme I can cheat a little :)   A little Glossy effects to the ice cream Sundae glass, a couple of black and white brads holding a flower and photo strip.

I always seem to choose this theme when it is my turn, much to my teamies chagrin :) but I love black and white photos so much I have decorated my second bedroom in this theme.  I have taken most of my family photos and edited them to black and white and framed them, have a black and white bedspread.  A black and white table runner made a beautiful valance for my window, a black and white semi plush rug and black desk lamp with red lamp shade and my photo gallery room is a great guest room.

Be sure to check out the Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created, they complained (a little) but created beautiful cards :) So grab a Sassy image and join in the challenge fun.

Mo's Digital Pencil--Water Water!!

Yep, it is Thursday and that only means one thing.....Time for a new Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge...this week the theme is Water Water.... I chose the adorable Bring on Summer:

Isn't this just the cutest summer image that fit the theme perfectly.  Mo gave this image away for free on Facebook  during one of her occasional 12 hour free image facebook unannounced giveaways.  It is now available in the shop.  Just too darn cute, in a homely sorta way, but he will grow up to be a  handsome man for sure! Enjoying the last few weeks on the beach before school with his inner tube and water gun.

Be sure to drop by the  Challenge Blog and see what the DT has created for your viewing pleasure.  While you are there grab a Mo's image and play along in the Challenge for a chance to win a 5 dollar gift certificate since Mo gives one away for every 25 entries...pretty good huh!!.  Not too soon to start thinking about those Christmas cards and Mo has been creating some new Christmas images so perfect time to get one or two and create a card for the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Anything but a Card!

Time for a new Sassy Cheryl's Challenge and I think I am the hostess :). I chose the theme Anything by a Card because I love to make altered projects and hope you do too. I used We're All Ears:

I love to create little gift boxes for my grandkids using the Hobby Lobby or Michaels ones they have at the check-outs.  This one happened to be black so I didn't have to paint it or cover the bottom.  Here is a pix of the way it looks apart:

 

Colored the image with copics and then added two strips of musical note washi tape.   3 lady bugs and a happy tag were the fun elements I added to the front and a beautiful large red rose which I made a while back in one of my marathon rose making sessions :)  Sometimes it is nice to just grab one and attach it LOL.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects, they are very creative you know!!!  Grab a Sassy Cheryl's image and add it to an altered item or make a tag, book mark, gift bag, the possibilities are endless.  Cheryl has lots of new images to choose from too.   One in particular I am grabbing for a bookmark or back to school journal  :)

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful creative day, remember crafting is cheaper than therapy!!! That's my story and I am sticking to it!!!

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge-- G is for........

Thursday is upon us and that means it is time for a new Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and the challenge this week is, G is for.....  I don't know why this is always such a challenge? Maybe because there are so many possibilities.  I chose Caitlin for her Gift:

Colored with copic markers and airbrushed, I added a green polka dot bow, a green metallic camera  and cell phone (which someone had texted Love), which I had cut with MFT dies.  A few hand made roses and a doile and my little birthday card with the green bag is ready to go.  How can you resist that darling face ?!?

Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT has created.  Grab a Mo's image and play along and you just might win a 5 dollar gift card since Mo awards a gift card for every 25 entries.  Check out the new Mo images too, they are awesome as always.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.
