Procrastination

Okay, on my previous post I did a little bragging on how I had posted 3 days in a row.  That was 7 days ago. Next time I'll try not to break my arm patting myself on the back.  I had to really scramble to get these Christmas cards done to fulfill my Splitcoast Christmas card challenge obligation of 3 per month.

I went for a vintage look on this one. 

Mo's Digital Pencil - Hero's Art sentiment - Graphic 45 DP - Colored with Copics & Prisma Pencils.

This was a really fast card.

Inkadinkado - Unknown sentiment - K&Company DP. Colored with Copics

Mo's Digital Pencil - Card Stock - Frame cut with Silhouette Cameo. - I added pearls and 3D crystal clear paint.

Three cards! I have to rest now.

Stitching

Count them.. I have posted 3 days in a row.  And I've even held a couple back. I had a really long dry spell where I just couldn't produce anything I really liked. I'm starting to feel creative again, so I thought I would try entering another Mo Challenge, which is stitching (real or faux). I chose real, because after all I paid good money ($49.95) for that machine. I've heard people use them for mending clothes also. Can you believe that?

I colored this sweetie with Copics.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up.  The added some bakers twine with a strawberry that I cropped from a PSX stamp. The image was matted with some DCWV DP and red cardstock.

Stop by the challenge blog. The designers have posted some fantastic works of art. 

I've been showcased!!

I popped into the Less is More Challenge blog to check out this weeks challenge and what a wonderful surprise. They showcased my purple card. And see my badge displayed just to right  These are some fabulous ladies, which makes even more special. You need to stop over there and check them out!

I have some ideas for this weeks challenge rolling around in my head. (There's lots of room). But first I have to show off my latest digi.   

Tell me she is just sweet.  I cut the right side of the image and slid some DP behind her. I colored her with Copics, but really the pretty little fairy from A Day For Daisies, did all the work.  In case you can't read the sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms, it reads: " Plant a seed of friendship, reap a bouquet of happiness, by Louis L. Kaufman."

Toadally in Love.

No, I didn't miss spell again. This time it's on purpose.  A little play on words you know. That doesn't mean there may not be some little miss somewhere else.  I always notice them a few days after a post.

Anyway, I want to share something.  I found a new blogger. Really she found me. She only started blogging this month and she's very talented.  Stop by and show Carole Ann some love.  Leave a comment.

This is a pre-blog stamp.  It's unmounted, and when I purchased it, it didn't seem important to know the company.  I think it's an Elzybells stamp.  I colored toad (or frog if your prefer) with Copics and matted the image with pink card stock then I mounted on some white card stock that I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The flowers are from Martha Stewart and the sentiments were computer generated.

Have a good day!

Looking for Robins

So far we have been experiencing a unusual mild winter here in Sioux City, Iowa.  Those Robins may be tricked into coming back early.  We've had some January days in the 50's and even one at 64 degrees. My friend, Sherri, bought a new snow blower last fall.  I told her she needs to buy one every year.

This challenge this week at Simply Less is Moore is week-50-one-layer-birds and my Robin fits the bill.

I just love this image from A Day For Daisies.  I colored this with Copics and added the sentiment from Inkadinkdo. So easy!

Everyone have a fabulous, fun week.

The Color Purple

Quick post.  It's a good thing I don't make a living writing novels.  I got nothing clever to say, nothing to comment on, nothing to explain.  What happened? I always got something to say. Not today. Nodda! Nope, not a single line. So there you have it. And here is my card.

The stamp is Stampabilities and the sentiment is Hero Arts. The little butterfly is from Cheery Lynn.
I am entering this in Simply Less is Moore Week-49-Colour Challenge.

I think I must ask them why they use "Moore" in their blog address and not "More". But then they will probably wonder why I have misspelled scissors in my blog address. The creator of this blog cannot proof read, is a little dyslectic and a poor speller. Creative people can't be bothered with details, right?

Puppy dog tails

This Mo image just captured everything what little boys are.  Her images all tell a story and it can be whatever you like. This reminds me so much of my boys when they were little.

I really had a hard time taking this photo. I really wanted to pick up the stripes in his overalls. I took some shots inside and some outside. I think this is an inside shot.

"Justin's Ice Cream"  was colored with Prisma pencils and Gamsol except for the skin which is colored with Copics. I used my liquid pearls for the ice cream. The sentiment is from Stampendous, which I was able to manipulate into a wave line. I mounted the image onto blue card stock and stitched it. I added the ribbon, then mounted everything on this pretty DP from Cosmo Cricket.  

I am entering this in Mo's digital challenge anything-goes-w-mo-image.
