Favorite 2011 Mo Project

I posted this on my Splitcoast Gallery awhile back. I just forgot to post it here. It was one of my favorites, so I'm blaming it holiday overload.  I only remembered it when I ran across this Mo DP2 Challenge which is "Favorite 2011 Mo Project."

This is defiantly one of My favorite Mo images.  I colored her with Copics and shaded with Prisma pencils. The little poinsettia is a PSX stamp and the sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.  I added some 3D paint for the snow. Then I stitched it to some blue/gray and used cream card stock as the base.

I thought it turned out pretty, but after view what the DT created.. OMG!

Jumbo Peony

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Will you look at the magnificent stamp that I bought and then just tucked away into a drawer.  I bought this just before Thanksgiving and I was already into Christmas mode.

This Jumbo Peony Stampendous lives up to it's name. It is so large that it hung over on my largest acrylic block.  I stamped it with Memento tuxedo black and shaded it with Copic BV02 and V09.  "Friend" is also from Stampendous. I dotted the "i" with a little pink jewel then lightly sponged some pink here and there.
The card was cut with a Spellbinder's die.

I am entering my card in this weeks Simply Less is More Challenge week-47-just-one-word. 

Just one more

In my previous post, I said that I "probably" would not be posting until after Christmas. That was before I went to the Simply Less is More blog and saw this week's challenge theme is music . So it got me to thinking about the Mo's Digital Pencil image that I got last year. Then I started looking for it. Since I upgraded last year, some things got moved and apparently some didn't get backed up, because I just couldn't find it. Then I became obsessed and ended up purchasing this digi again. It's so cute I really didn't mind that it was a second purchase.

I colored Singin so Beautiful with Copics and added some 3D paint on hats. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.

I'll Be Home for Christmas

This will probably be my last post until after Christmas. So let me take this time to thank all of you have visited my blog and left those cherished notes of encouragement.  Card makers make the sweetest friends.

This lovely stamp is from the Stampin Place which I colored with Copics, pencils and Stickles.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up. The itsy-bitty pine cone is from Judith. The label is actually a flag die and sorry I cannot tell you what company. The paper and embellishments are both from K&Company.

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick post to let everyone know, I still make cards.

The holly is a free digi from Cuddly Buddly.  I thought it need something else.  I found this ornament at the back of to drawer. I have no idea where I bought it but it had a clearance sticker for $.79, so I'm thinking Michael's.  It says it's a Brother Sister Design??   I also found this perfect color and size ribbon from which I hung the ornament. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.

Have a great Monday everyone.

The staff

Let me start by saying, there is a lot of effort that goes into making a card.  And talent has it's price. Maybe I should replace the word "price" with.... you decide.  This is a picture I took of my desk after creating my latest masterpiece.  Note the little 4 x 4 inch square left for my poor little card.

And this is how I left it this morning

As I have mentioned before, I have a VERY tidy husband.  And he takes "tidy" to a new dimension. 

Hubby is retired and takes very good care of me.  So when I returned from work this is what I found.

Notice the neat rows he made of my stamps.  I'm sure it concerned him that the bottom row did not come out to the same length as the others.

Also note the 3 cut-outs a lined up as well as my glue which is all facing the same direction.  I'm really not poking fun.  But really, is it not just a little funny?  Yes, ladies he does laundry, vacuuming and yard work.

If he ever reads this the gig up.

Now to my card which I am entering in the Simply Less is More Challenge which is the colour green.

 I was really stumped with this challenge, so I started look through my inventory when I ran across this Serendipity stamp. 

I took very little coloring with my green Prisma pencil.  I suppose there isn't one of you who's seen a green dove, but I think he turned out pretty.

The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink. I added green pearls as holly berries and matted it on this pretty embossed green card stock.

By the way Hubby has a good sense of humor.  He lives with me.
