Mo's Digital Pencil--Altered item

Yeah, it is Thursday, I seem to have missed a day somewhere this week LOL.  The Challenge this week at Mo's Digital Pencil is to create an altered item.  I struggled with this one as I always seem to create the same thing, so I decided to do this:

It's a sweatshirt.  I absolutely love the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and Mo created this awesome one for us. I had thought about making a tote but thought I would wear the sweatshirt more than I needed another tote to carry around.
Be sure you stop by the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog and see what everyone has created, there are some awesome altered items.
Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!!!

Sketch Challenge 300 at Split Coast Stampers

I found Split Coast Stampers when I was a new Stampin Up Demo as a means to find out what people were creating with their Stampin Up Stamps.  I have had a gallery there for a long time and appreciate how my card creations have grown in quality LOL  IMO...very subjective.  Well today marks the 300th Sketch Challenge and to celebrate they are offering prizes from several companies, one of which is Sassy Cheryl's, so I decided to create a card in support of the challenge and Sassy Boss Lady!!!  Here is the card I created:


I chose Broom Witch from Sassy Cheryl's to create my sketch challenge card.  I followed the sketch exactly...yeah what's up with that...I always turn it or add something or change something, but this time I was good LOL. 
The image was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink.  The dp is from the Target dollar bin paper packs from last year. 
I thought the top of the image would be cute punched with the MS cobweb punch and below that I added a strip of MS goo which is also a punch.  The bat is a MS punch and the spider is an EK Success punch I bought last year.
The spider web and boo as well as some parts of the witch costume were highlighted with the Sukara Stardust glitter pen.
If you are looking for a great sketch challenge head on over to the Split Coast Stampers Challenge Forum and join in the fun, who knows you may win a wonderful prize...there are lots being offered.
Thanks for stopping by...Have a great day.

My Favorite Sassy Cheryl's Image--Yep that's the Challenge this week!!!

I am the hostess for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge this week and my choice of theme was,  My Favorite Sassy Cheryl's Image.  You all know it had to be either a Snowman or Bear but did you guess this one:

This is the darling bear that was offered as a Freebie when the Sassy Cheryl's PCP group reached 500 members.  The coloring was done with......copic markers...did I fool ya.LOL.  I did not sponge the outer edge as I wanted to keep a more pastel effect. 
The dp is Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby.  I chose the blue lined dp and then used a Tim Holtz scroll mask and airbrushed a darker shade of turquoise.
I wanted to keep the vintage, dainty feel so I added some white lace topped with a ruffly lace with a row of pearls.  I tied a narrow blue ribbon over the lace.
The corners on the right side were punched with a MS corner punch and a large 4 layer flower was mounted in the upper right hand corner.  The center of the flower was layered with a ribbon bow secured with a  half pearl.
Don't you agree this is a wonderful image, but have you seen any of Sassy Cheryl's images that aren't  I love them all....
Be sure to stop by the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog and check out what the rest of the DT has created, they have really outdone themselves, just for me, yeah right, they do it every week!!!
I know Sassy Cheryl's Store has some awesome new images ready for you to bust your budget, so run on over there and see what's up.

Have a great day. and Thanks so much for stopping by.

Darling Fall image by Mo's Digital Pencil--Sadie

I really love the vision of this beautiful little girl selling apples.  Mo's Digital Pencil has created some awesome new images and I have been busy coloring them :)  Thought I would show you Sadie with Apples today:

I fell in love with that beautiful smile and I think she knows she is beautiful even if she has patches on her clothes. 
Sadie was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink.  The border on the right was cut usng a Mini Scalloped die cut border from Spellbinder's  The red apple buttons are from my stash.  I thought the red striped ribbon was cute to tie in the red and white with the blue background which is BoBunny dp.
A red check flower with a button center tied with red check ribbon finishes off this fall project.

Be sure to stop by Mo's Digital pencil shop and see the awesome new images she has created everything from a baby Kai in the tub to the Queen of Hearts.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.  I am off to work in a little bit.

Cute little Wizard James--Just Inklined Freebie

I know we all love free anything but free images are always welcome, especially when they are as beautiful and detailed as the images for sale.  Last week's free image at Just Inklined  was James the little Wizard.  Here is what I created with the image:

James was colored with copic markers and framed with a Spellbinder scalloped Frame.  The frog in the lower right corner is a Cuttlekids frog.

The rest of the design is fairlly simple. green and white layers with a green check ribbon and three green buttons in the upper left corner.James has a sister named Jenny if you want a female version of this image.  Just Inklined just offered another awesome skull freebie today for this week.  I think I may catch up one of these days.  They also offered up a bunch of new images on the website and they are awesome.

Thanks for stopping by,
