Squigglefly Challenge Card

I chose Shy Bear from Squigglefly for my challenge card.  It is a sketch challenge this week.  I have a couple of friends from other DT's on the Squigglefly DT and thought I would play along this week.   Hi Debbie, Sue and Heather :)

The image is colored with copic markers and I used my dangerous MS circle cutter to cut out the image and matte.  I say dangerous because I got in a hurry removing the protective tip from the blade and cut my finger badly.  I can be hazardous to my own health LOL!

Squigglefly has some really cute digital images and this little bear is adorable.  If you want a closer look at this image double click on it.

Thanks for looking and play along if you have time!

Thanks for Looking!

Today is Friday Hanna Stamps Weekly Challenge and Mo's Digital Pencil Birthday Card!

Okay, maybe I was in a weird mood when I made this but I think it is cute!!!  How many times have we all forgotten a birthday and we say, "Oh, crap(ola) I Forgot Your Birthday"  Think of it as a picture card where the pictures tell you what the words are.... okay it is a stretch, I still think it is cute :)

This was created for the Hanna Stamps weekly challenge, hosted by Silke,  which was to create a card for a man or boy. 

This is a really fun new set that was released last week and I have already made several cards with it. 

************

My next card will probably be my birthday card to my sweet granddaughter Sierra who will be 2 December 12.  She is a little red head ....this could be her!!!(look below for comparison)

I just love this new My Minds Eye paper pack that I got last week when Michael's had 50% off certain ones.  It is called Delightful and perfect for lots of my Mo's Digital Pencil projects.  Isn't this the cutest little girl image called You're My Best...  I thought that the I WUV U sentiment fit a two year old too.  Wanna see how psychic Mo is,  here is a picture of Sierra and peek of my daughter Michelle:

I told you.  This picture was taken in July at the baby shower for baby Leigha.

Just wanted to share my observation, tell me if you agree?!?

Hope you all are having a great day.  I am home with one of my headaches and am going to stop now and go lay down for awhile.

Thanks for stopping by, always love to have you :)

Out There -- For a Worthy Cause!

Blogger is being really weird tonight.  I was sitting here thinking of what to write and the post published itself...  all righty then... edit published post  :)

I call this card Look Up to see my Star!   created in honor of Layton, 16 month old family member of Jak who died of Meningitis October 27, 2009.

To find out about the reason for this image please click on the Jak's blog for her sad story and what she is trying to do to find a vaccine for Meningitis.

I don't very often feel the need to contribute to a cause but not just because Jak is a fellow DT member on Mo's Digital Pencil I was compelled to contribute and couldn't wait to color this image. 

If you also feel compelled to contribute to the cause follow the link on Jak's blog, there are two digital images in the purchase and all proceeds go to the Cause.

I will color the other image included in the cause contribution in the next day or two. 

Thanks for stopping by See you tomorrow for the Friday Hanna Stamps Challenge TGIF!!!

Thursday means new Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog project!!!

I chose Penguin with Gift for my sketch challenge this week on Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog. I really like penguin images for winter and Holiday cards.  You can find the sketch challenge on the Mo's Digital Pencil Blog, didn't Caryn create a wondeful sketch.?

I used some Happy Holiday dp from Michaels for the backdrop for my Penguin colored with copic markers and sponged with Tim Holtz distress inks. 

The scroll at the bottom is a cuttlebug fancy scroll and the top panel is white cs that I punched with my new MS corner and border punch.

I added some stickles clear glitter glue for a touch of snow under the penguin feet along the bottom of the circle.

The penguin's scarf is colored with Atyou glitter pens in red and green., and the candy canes on the gift wrap are also colored with the red Atyou glitter pen.  It really sparkles which you should be able to see by double clicking and enlarging the photo.

A red poinsetta prima flower and a green button and my card is ready to enjoy for the  Holiday Season :)

We have had great participation in our challenges and we love to have you all play along. 

This week Mo is offering the winner of the challenge, (which is a random drawing on Wednesday before the new challenge posts on Thursday), the opportunity to offer a suggestion to Mo for an image and  you get to name it too.  Doesn't that sound like fun!

Be sure to check out all of the other DT members projects, there are some truly spectacular projects.  

Tomorrow I will have a special project for a worthy cause.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

An experiment with Angel of Peace

I love this image, Angel of Peace new from Mo's Digital Pencil, tonight and tried to add lots of glitter on the wings, doves and the angel's rope belt is gold glitter pen.  I hope that when you double click the image that you will be able to see the sparkles.

 

I love to color angels. I used all of my 0000 colors on this image to keep it very subtle in color.

I used my new MS corner and border punches to create the outside edge and did really good until I got to the very last corner and then messed up.  I will fix it but wanted to see if you could see the glitter.  I took 10 photos and this was the best. URGHHHH!

Miles and his Flutterby

Isn't Miles and his Flutterby from Mo's Digital Pencil just the most darling little image that we an all relate to.  I think all little kids love butterflies and all creatures great and small.  Just to see the wonder in their eyes as the butterfly lands trustingly on their head or hand on on the flower nearby.

I colored Miles with copic markers and added the fence top made out of a new MS border punch.  I couldn't resist as Michaels has all MS items 30% off this week. 

I added butterflies that I punched with a MS punch from embossed cs.  I love the texture that this gives to the butterflies.  I sponged the edges with Weather Wood distress ink.

Hope you like the little guy as much as I did.  Mo has added a lot of really neat stamps this week so if you havne't been there yet, go check them out.  .

See you tomorrow with a heavenly card.

I have coloring to do now so see you later,

Hanna Stamps November/December Release Challenge

It is hard to believe that it is November and that means a new release from Hanna Stamps.  Due to the frenzy of the holidays Hanna Stamps is having a single Release on November 16 for November and December sets.  The Release Party Challenge gives the DT members an opportunity to sneak in a new set in the challenge :)  You should play the challenge as Hanna Stamps is offering a 20.00 gift certificate.  The winner will be announced at the Release Party between 9:30 and 10:00.
This month Kristi of Hanna Stamps decided to release her new sets a couple of weeks early in order for everyone to be able to get those new sets in time for Holiday gift giving.
Here is my first sneak peak from the Chanuka Hanna set:

I used my newly discovered favorite Holiday dp called Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey. Hanna is colored in copic markers.  The texture of the skirt was created using the blender copic marker and pouncing the marker up and down all over the skirt area to gain the effect.  Just a tip to do some pouncing but remember that as it dries it lightens even more and you can redo it to take off more but it is very difficult to add the color back.

The images were cut out using the Spellbinder Label 4 die cuts and then embossed to attain the rim around the edge.  The rim along the edge was outlined with the Atyou gold glitter pen. 

The gold ribbon was laid on and then I tied a real bow and attached it on top of the strand of ribbon.  I created white and red/cream flowers using the MS geranium flower punches I got at Michaels.  I love these little flowers.

This card was created for the Hanna Stamps New Release Challenge which was a sketch challenge.  I followed it almost perfectly, however, I did add the 3 flowers in the upper left hand corner that the sketch didn't show. 

We are going to have a DT blog hop on Sunday November 15 to jumpstart the release party which will be Monday November 16 at 8:00 pm Central Time.

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow!
