Bushels of Love

This sweet image is available to the Patreon subscribers of Mo Manning @ Mo's Digital Pencil.. How adorable are the barrels filled with hearts and the big curly ponytails on the little girl? This was a lot of fun to color!

Christmas Door

I'm still in a Christmas card making mood (well, when am I not lol) and so I decided to make another card for Mo's Digital Pencil. It's an Anything Goes challenge with an optional theme of Christmas.

For my card I used the image Door with Wreath. I love how simple and rustic it is, you can really do whatever you want to this image to make it your own. I grabbed my copics and did some quick coloring, using a pop of red for my shovel and doormat. On the wreath I used a red gel pen to add some berries and then I used a white gel pen to create some snow on various parts of the image.

Thanks for stopping by!

There are 3 different tiers you can sign up for and for each tier you get special offers, discounts and access to free or pre-release images, all while supporting a talented artist.

I just think this image is too cute! It's called 'Dandelions' and it's a little girl holding a big bouquet of dandelions. I have to admit, I'm one of those people that will leave the dandelions in my yard long enough for the bees to do their thing and then I pull them out and they go into my burn pit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Baseball Birthday

After a bit of a hiatus Mo's Digital Pencil is back with a challenge blog and for the first challenge back it's Anything Goes with an optional theme of 'spring'. 

I'm a baseball fan so for me spring means the start of baseball season, and after the season my football team had I was really looking forward to my baseball team bringing some joy back into my life ROFL The image is called Johnny Baseball and I had him sitting on my desk already colored in blue and gray, otherwise I would have colored him in my teams colors of red and white.

I grabbed some striped DSP because with baseball I always think of pin stripes. I then added a strip of Smoky Slate across the middle of the card to divide the top and bottom. The sentiment was stamped in blue to match the theme and the image is popped up over the middle of the card.

Winter is Coming

This week at The Paper Players they have a Clean and Simple challenge with a theme of "snowy day". I am a winter girl through and through, the more snow I have and the colder it is  the happier I am so I definitely had to play along!

I knew right away that I wanted to use a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Winter is Coming. This image cracks me up because its someone shoveling with just their hat and the shovel peeking up over the snow. I've had many a winter like that here in Alaska (although this winter we've barely had snow, boo!!) and shoveling snow is one of my very favorite things to do, I find it very peaceful and relaxing.

I used my cool gray copics to color along the snow line and added a pop of color to match the sentiment, with a bit of yellow added for the shovel. To finish it off I used a SU embossing folder to add some falling snow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bee Mine for Sunday Stamps

It's time for a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps and this week Annette has a great sketch for us! I've been coloring this image for a few days and wanted to use it on my card so I turned the sketch but all the elements are still there.

The image is a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil and is called Bee Mine. I used my copics to color her in and then I printed out the sentiment, cut it apart and then paper pierced it to match the rectangle die I used on the main image.

Make sure you head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us, we'd love to see what YOU do with this sketch!

Bee Mine

Just a quick post today. With my Christmas vacation coming to an end and hubby back to work as of Weds I'm back to being alone during the wee hours of the night. I did a massive clean up of my craft desk last week and finally got some time to create late Fri night/early Sat morning.

I love this fun image from Mo's Digital Image and thought she would make a great bookmark so I resized the sentiment and image on Word to make it fit the shape of my bookmark die. I then colored in the image with my copics and finished off the bookmark by mounting it on red cardstock(I forgot to get a photo of that tonight) and then added the yellow ribbon. It would be perfect to give on Valentines Day with your loved ones favorite book or magazine.

A Winter Outing

This card is for the current challenge over at The Merry Christmas Challenge blog. It's a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil and I just love it. It reminds me of when my kids were young and they would go with my husband to do various activities for Christmas. We're big Christmas decorators so hubby usually had the kids helping haul lights and decorations all over the yard :)

The Merry Christmas Challenge still has a few weeks to go with the current challenge so head on over to the blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us!

Boo! for Sunday Stamps

Ooops, I'm a bit late with my Sunday Stamps post! My best friend is leaving Alaska to move back to FL due to her husbands job so we spent Saturday having a girls day exploring the local mountains and on Sunday my entire family was at her house, packing and cleaning. By the time we got home Sunday I was ready to collapse! 

We have a square sketch to play with this week and I decided to go with a Halloween theme. This image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and was recently half off. I don't make a lot of Halloween cards but I couldn't pass this fun little witch up!

My image is colored with copics and my paper is retired SU. I'm trying to use my stash before buying more paper. So far I'm doing pretty good with that, but we'll see how long it lasts :)

Make sure you head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us!

Oh What Fun

The current challenge at Jingle Belles ends tomorrow and I wanted to play along so I had to hurry and get a card made this afternoon!

They have a guest this challenge, Leslie Turner, and her prompt was "create a project that includes snow... snowflakes, snowmen or a snowy landscape".

I went with a digital image from Mo Manning called Valerie in Winter. There are 3 images in the set and they are all adorable but I especially love this particular image. We lost our beautiful beagle mix Spike Sept.15, 2016 and this winter has made me miss him even more, as we have over 4 ft of snow and I think about how we had to shovel a pathway in the yard for him during our snowy winters. All you could see was his black and white head bobbing up and down on the path, peeking out over the snow drifts. 

After I sized the image to what I wanted I printed it out, cut the image area out with a die and then colored it with copics. The sentiment is an older retired one from SU and I thought it was perfect for this image.

I'm also entering this card in the DP2 Anything Goes challenge for Mo Manning images!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ho Ho Whoa

I recently discovered Mo's Digital Pencil (I know, I know, I must have been under a rock) and just had to get this image. We're big Christmas decorators and are friends with many other extreme decorators so this image is perfect for mailing out in 2017 to a few friends. It's great to already be done with some cards for Christmas 2017 (I made 6 total of this card)!

I printed out the image and then colored it with copics. After cutting down the image panel to the size I wanted I cut a green panel in the same size and then just adhered them in opposite directions on top of the patterned paper background. The background is bold and fun but doesn't take away from the main image, which is perfect.

For the inside sentiment I think I'm going to print out a quote from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, I just haven't decided which one to use yet.

I also discovered Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog so I'm entering this into the Anything Goes Challenge!
