Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Pink and Girlie

Our hostess this week for the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge is the super talented Lydia,  who has chosen the theme Pink and Girlie.  I am not much of a Girlie girl but love pink.  I chose the super cute special image Mo created to benefit the Make a Wish foundation.  Here is my cute Cotton Candy image:

Who didn't love cotton candy as a kid,  I had to add the blue as my favorite cotton candy was the multi colored ones.   How could you taste the flavor of the color over the pure sugar taste LOL....who cares it was so perfect to pinch off a little and it would just melt in your mouth....and stick to your fingers....and anything you touched ...soo worth it though!!!

The little cutie was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink.  A pink double scalloped border on the left and a single row of fancy scalloped edge using a MS punch on the right.

Don't you love the dp which is a free download from Jak Heath;s blog...she has all different colors and there are two different size polka dots on each sheet...I love polka dots!!!  I added a cute pink checked ribbon with a double bow and small pink button to finish it off.

Be sure to stop by the Mo's Challenge blog and check out the DT creations for this super fun challenge...While you are at it check out Mo's Store and see what new wonderful images she has for you.

I am still bummed I didn't get to participate in the Carnival Challenge but one of these days I will show my card I created after the fact...I had it printed but didn't get it colored before I ended up in the hospital :(  

Thahks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Easter Everybody!!!

It feels so good to actually have made a card, its been over a week.  Since I got out of the hospital after being in for 48 hours I hadn't done much except work and sleep.  I had colored this super cute carrott bunny, called Dusty Bunny,  a couple of weeks ago and had planned to show it to you last week but I just got the card made.  This little fiunny Bunny and I just want to wish you a Happy Easter and let you know that I should be posting regularly again, thanks for not leaving me LOL!!!  Enough of the BlaBlaBla:

Isn't he just the cutest little bunny.  I thought he deserved this beautiful doilie which started out white and i airbrushed it to match the cute polka dot dp.  The edges were spongerd and a few strands of bakers twine were wound around the bottom and tied in a bow. 

The upper right corner touts a beautiful flower cut from bakers parchment paper, I airbrushed the edges and gently molded it from the back side and put them all together with a brad. 

Do you see the 3 cute tiny blue buttons on the left side?  They came in a package all the way from England and sent by Jak as the prize for winning a contest to add a slogan to a picture of her darling grandson Jack.....I was so excited I won and even more excited when I got her lovely package of wonderful dp and embellishments....

I hope you all get all the chocolate bunnies and Easter Eggs you deserve!!!  Me I prefer the Malted milk ball Robin's Eggs Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Super Cute Katie Benefit Image!!!

I thought I would bring you another wonderful image from the Katie Renz Benefit which is still going on.  This super cute image was donated by Just Inklined:

 

Isn't this just the perfect image for someone who is under the weather?    

The image was colored with copic markers and the sentiment tag was created with my Walk in My Garden cricut cartridge using the bread tag and sentiment.  The flower was cut using the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge.  This cartridge has tons of flowers and leaves.  I love that I can make them any size I want, where with a punch I am limited to the punch size.  That's my justification and I'm sticking to it!!!

I sewed the images  and striped dp to the cs. thought it fit the image, and I added 3 I-rock Glam Rocks to the lower left corner of the main image.

Well, winter has hit Omaha this week and we have had 4 inches of snow on Wednesday and tomorrow we are supposed to get another 4-6 inches....so tomorrow I need to go to the grocery store so I don't have to go out after it starts snowing.  

Hope you are all having a wonderful week-end.  Thanks for stopping by and if you haven't checkout out the Benefit for Katie, drop by Jak Heath's blog for complete details.

Another wonderful Katie Benefit image--Sprout, Mo's Digital Pencil

How can you not just fall in love with this darling little "Sprout".  This is just another of the wonderful image available when you purchase the benefit bundle for Katie.  I am so proud that all 3 Design Teams I am on have owners who have donated images for this wonderful benefit for a fellow crafter. Here is what I have created with Sprout which was donated by Mo's Digital Pencil:

 

I am so pleased to be moving on from red and green for a little while LOL.  I thought I would use one of my favorite color combinations, pink and brown for this little gardner image. The image was colored with copic markers and after punching the scalloped trellis MS punch at the bottom it was mounted on brown cs.  The pink and floral dp are a new paper pack I got at Archivers last week called Green at Heart.

I used my cricut to cut the flowers and stem for the doile flower.   I created the doile flower by cutting the center circle from a paper doile and gently folding it into a circle.  I mounted it onto a flower punch base and when it was dry I added a shiny pink button center which was tied with pink yarn.

In case you are wondering whicih cricut cart the flowers and stems were from it is the Pagoda cartridge.

The sentiment was computer generated and punched with the SU scalloped circle punch, sponged with distress ink and my Sprout card is complete.

Thanks for stopping and be sure to stop by this week as I have wonderful challenges from Sassy Cheryl's on Tuesday and Thursday I have the Thursday Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog  challenge.  On Thursday there will also be the first ever Design D.I.V.A.'s Blog Hop which will begin at 7:00 am Pacific Time so be sure to stop by and leave the participants some love.  There are designers from many of your favorite online companies and I know it is going to be so much fun to see what the 35+ participants have to show you.  

If you haven't already checked out the Benefit for Katie please to to Jak Heath's blog for all the details and how to get this wonderful bundle.  It's a win win deal!!!

Have a great day.  I am off to work.

Another image from the Katie Benefit bundle!!

There are so many companies which were so gracious as to donate images for the Katie Benefit going on this month.  I have always loved swings of all kinds so when I saw this image from Make it Crafty I knew it would be one of the first I colored.  What do you think:

 

I have to admit that I got the new I-rock tool today and had to use it, whether it really fit the image or not is still up for debate.  

This gorgeous swing image was donated by Make it Crafty and as always I colored it with copic markers.  I airbrushed the blue around the edges to soften the white a little.  I did add some flower soft to the flowers under and around the swing legs.

The dp is a new pack I got at Archivers today,  I needed some lighter more spring-like colors and this pack has lots of choices.  

If you have not read the reason for the Katie Benefit you can check out the details on Jak Heath's blog.  Katie was diagnosed just before Christmas with stage 4 stomach cancer and this is a way to help her and her family in whatever little way we can.  

I have 3 more images colored from the images available and as I get the cards made I will show them to you.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week-end.
