Wonder of Christmas

It's Day 8 of Christmas in July!! I have to admit that I'm having fun with this! I'm also happy that I'm using digi's that I've had printed forever! Fun to see them on cards, finally!

Today's digi is by Mo Manning and is called Christmas Fairy Holly. The inside says, May the wonder of Christmas live in our hearts all through the year.

Have a happy day!!

Shirley

When I lived in El Paso, TX I was in an amazing bible study group and there was one lady that really touched my heart, Shirley. She has since passed away but I think of her often. 

When I saw this digi by Mo Manning named Shirley, I knew I had to get it--just because of the name. Silly I know but it made me smile to think of Shirley and her big personality and kind heart.

I'm also playing along with another of the Friday Challenges for the yahoo group I'm in--this one is Challenge #3- use your favorite color. My favorite color is pink so this has lots of pink goodness in it!

This card just makes me smile~~hope it does you too!!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

A Friend Is...

I wanted to make a card for our vet and her staff because they were so kind and helpful during the whole process with Daisy. I immediately thought of this digi, A Friend Is.., by Mo Manning. 

We got some happy news today too--Sam got an email from the railroad and once he passes the medical exam and they do a background check he has a new job!! It means a lot of changes for our family as he'll be gone a lot but it's a great opportunity for him so we'll get through it!

Thanks for stopping by!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Bronte and Bella's Clubhouse Freebie

Mo Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil recently started a Facebook group, Bronte and Bella's Clubhouse, and she was kind enough to share a freebie of a close up of one of her darling images so we could practice our coloring skills.

Here's what I came up with~

She was so much fun to color and it was fun to print her out a bit larger than I normally would.

Hope your Monday treats you well! I have the day off so I have high hopes to craft the day away!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Shucks

Ever had a card just not flow for you? but yet you kept going with it and in the end you just wish you had stopped? This is that card for me. 

The image is a digi from Mo Manning called Shucks. I thought it was pretty appropriate since we live in corn country now~ Husker land...LOL! 

But I can guarantee that I will be doing this again at some point and hopefully I'll like the results better. I wasn't going to even post it but figured why not~~gotta share the good with the bad.

Have a good day! I'm super excited that I get to go to work this afternoon for my orientation and drug test (whew, a test I don't have to study for!).


If all else fails-add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Psst Dani and Taylor

The challenge this week over at the Mo Manning DP2 Challenge blog is anything goes with a Mo image so I thought I'd play along. I found this digi- Psst Dani and Taylor printed out in my digi folder so I thought I'd color them up!

I had a horrible headache all day and it shows in my coloring of this image, the shading is all funky but we're just going to pretend it's all where it needs to be, okay? 

I was in a super simple mood so not much to it but I like how it came out, how about you? 

Have a great day! and thanks for stopping by!

The Pink Elephant Challenge #158

Time for another fun Pink Elephant Challenge! Be sure to visit the blog so you can see how you can play along and also so you can see all the other DT’s wonderful creations!
Our challenge this week is Summer Fun! I found this cutie-Lacie with Ice Cream from Mo Manning- printed out in my digi folder so I thought she’d be fun to color up and after all, isn’t enjoying an ice cream cone on a summer day so much fun!!

I colored her with my copics and then paired her with some paper in my stash. I added some stickles, clear glaze pen on her glasses, some rhinestones and a flower to finish the card.

Hope you’ll join us this week at The Pink Elephant Challenge!!

(I don’t like having the blog candy on top of my posts and making you have to search for them so trying a different way! I’ll have the link to the BLOG CANDY at the top of each post)

A cute digi from Mo Manning~ Bunches.

 

Sam leaves in the wee hours of the morning for the field..I won’t see him again until I return from the TAC seminar on the 27th. That means lots of crafty time for me so hopefully I can get things pre-scheduled for when I’m gone and also not have that “so far behind” feeling.

Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you soon with another creation!!
