Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Back to School

It's time for another Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and Debbie has another wonderful challenge for us this week..  Back to School.  I was so excited I get to use this darling little cutie called To School: 

This little cutie could have been any one of my three girls going to school as they were all blonde at that age.  I might have  french braided their hair LOL.    The image was colored with copic markers, sponged with distressed ink and then, I brought up my sewing machine, all the way from under the desk...I should do it more often as I really love the look of stitches on the card but can we say lazy....
I thought the checked dp was perfect for this little school girl and used the same piece for the fan flower.  The little school bus in the upper left corner was cut from a cricut cartridge as I just through it was the perfect embellishment and I could make it the size I wanted.  I didn't have the right color card stock so I used a copic marker to over color the bus after I had it assembled with the black accent pieces. 
 If you have little ones and are looking for a perfect little image to use for a picture frame or scrapbook page these are the perfect images and they come in boy and girl images with straight and curly hair. Mo always thinks of everyone!!! While you are in the Store be sure to look at all the new images Mo has been creating, the houses and Come Hither and Hocus are amazing!!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Ribbons and Lace

Heather has chosen another wonderful challenge for this week's Sassy Cheryl's Challenge which is to use Ribbons and lace.  Two of my favorite elements when card making!!!

I just love this little Pencil girl without glasses, and of course she was so much fun to color with copic markers.  I thought it would be fun to color her in peach and then I found this cute peach and blue dp in my stash that was just perfect.  I used some of my favorite lace bordering a band of peach polka dotted ribbon with a hand tied bow.

The sentiment was  cut with my cricut Pagoda cartridge Kanji word feature.  isnt it perfect for a little back to school card.( Of course you have to have a freakin magnifying glass to get the right words, I did woman the first two tries lol , they are a shift on a flower image  )

My card ended up kind of plain and simple but I think it is perfect that way, the image is the main feature and I love her. 

Be sure to stop by the Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT has created, I know  Cheryl  always has some new images in the store and she has really been on a roll lately  and this week is no exception.  Be sure to check them out!!

We would love to have you play along with the challenge. Every week Sassy Cheryl gives away a 5 dollar gift certificate to her store and with the new/old images   I know I always have some on my wish list. LOL

Thanks for stopping by and have  a great week.

Riley and Company Challenge--Make a Scene

No, not that kind of scene!!! LOL.  I am the hostess this week for the Riley and Company Challenge.  I love to create little scenes with this darling little Moose, so that was the theme I chose.  With school having just started here in Omaha, and the rest of you probably getting ready, here is Schoolgirl Sophie:

Sophie is headed into Moose School for her first day of school and isn't she just the cutest with her little pink outfit and antler ribbons. 

The brick wall is from Riley and Company also, just used my Copic multi liner pen to finish the ends. The same pen was used to draw in the landscape, sidewalk and step.  There is a reason I only color LOL!!  The image was colored with copic markers.  Just a tip on the brick wall,  the wide tip of the copic markers is the perfect size to make a swipe on each brick in an alternating pattern to give the effect of a brick wall.  I used 5 different copics E40, E50, E53 and E31 and E33 to color the brick wall.  Really makes fast work of a brick wall. 

In keeping with the School Theme I added letters and numbers to the right side of the image, which had been cut out with my Top Note Sizzix Die cut from SU.  The red rickrack border on the left side ties in the red letters some.  A paper prima flower with red button center and Sophie is off for her first day of school!!!

We would love to have you play along with the challenge and if you download your project to a gallery use the keyword Riley1610  so we can all see your wonderful creation.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects for the challenge.
