I have used a Mo's Digital Pencil image called Noah, on this card, and coloured it with markers. My papers are all from the DCWV Adventurer stack. I've used a few eyelets and threaded a thin leather strip through them. I've also added two little flag tags cut with Bo Bunny dies. The message is a Dovecreaft topper. To finish off, I've places 3 little pearls on one of the tags. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges: Crafting With Friends Challenge 69: Anything Goes Crafty Friends Challenge 85: Anything Goes Jo's Scrap Shack FFC #237: Anything Goes Through The Craft Room Door Challenge 5th June: Anything Goes Little Miss Muffet Challenge #190: Anything Goes Thanks so much for popping in for a visit!

This week I made a new discovery...Mo's Digital Pencil. Are you familiar with Mo Manning's work? Well, you might be and not even realize it, because Mo has designed stamps for both Stamping Bella and Penny Black...seriously cute stuff! I...

Debby of A Scrapjourney started her fun today. She's giving away some blog candy (yummy stuff!) if you'd like to play along. I think you'll see that I'm a bit partial to the Mo's Digital Pencil cards I made this year. I just love coloring them so much. Here are my faves in no particular order (that would be impossible! ☺) The Carolers which you can find in this post. A Taste of Winter found here. Penguin with Gift posted here. Shall I Play For You found here. These little fairies are just amazing and I'm sure I'll be coloring them up again and again. You can find the post for this card here. I really need a second list of five for my more clean and simple cards cause I love a bunch of them too. If you want to play along go to Debby's blog and follow her directions. It's super simple. Merry Christmas!

I had so much fun coloring this image and creating this binder! I do believe I could sit and color ALL DAY!! When I was little...I remember laying in the floor watching my Mom draw paper dolls for me and my sister. I remember one day in particular...my Daddy had just been sent (alone) to Germany (the first of a couple of trips)... my Mommy (22 & pregnant with my littlest sister, MaryJane), my little sis, Angie (3) and me (just 10 months older than Angie at 4) went to live with my Mamaw and Papaw while Daddy was away! On this day, while playing outside...me and Angie had seen several planes fly over and as each one flew we danced in the yard and waved, while yelling "Hi Daddy" Hi Daddy...we love you!" We thought our Daddy was in every plane! Many times Mommy would come and dance and wave and yell with us! All the time knowing he wasn't in that plane, but wanting us to be happy, she would play along! Even though it was always exciting to see a plane fly over because we felt close to him for a moment...it also was sad, for as the plane got smaller and smaller...it would feel like when he left again and we were reminded that he was away! This day, when we started to get sad...Mommy rushed us into the house and got out our favorite things...the crayons! She sat and drew paper dolls for us, for what seemed like the rest of the night!! She would draw anything and everything we requested, then we would color them!! I didn't know then that she was helping to get our minds off of the fact that we missed our Daddy terribly! All I knew was that my mom was the BEST Mommy in all the world and that coloring her paper dolls was my favorite thing to do! As the years have gone by...EVER time I see a paper doll, I think of that day! I hope that I succeed in creating memories like this for my babies! Thank You Mommy for teaching me to be the Mommy that I am!! Thank you Mo for creating yet another Paper doll that as helped me to remember that special day! If you haven't had an opportunity to purchase a Mo Manning image...I strongly encourage you to do so! Mo's images evoke something more than your average digi stamp...they are something special...something that makes you remember, something that makes you dream!! Be sure to look HERE at the Mo's Digital Pencil Shop to pick your own Memory!! You can also LIKE MDP on the Maurie J. Manning Facebook Page HERE! There is a special treat HERE...something about Little Trudy and her Party Dress...you will not want to miss it!! Have a blessed day! LORi BOYD I also wanted to say Happy 4th from our porch to yours!! ♥ the Boyd Family

I knew as soon as I saw this image from Mo’s Digital Pencil that I would be making it into a Christmas card. Originally, I thought that it would have the usual Christmas gift theme… More

Trick or treat! Halloween is finally here. The day filled with treats and hopefully not too many tricks. For my last spooky cute card of the year I chose to color up Little Witch Wendolyn from Mo's Digital Pencil. I have had her printed out and sitting on my desk for a couple months now so I wasn't going to make her wait any longer. Mo actually has a lot of amazingly cute witches and I've colored my share in the past. What really drew me to this particular witchy poo was the addition of the be-spelled broom walking right beside her. I mean how great is it to imagine little Wendolyn learning all her magic spells with her BFF broom right there to assist? It makes me smile just imagining it. :) Have fun out there today and I hope it is spooktacular!

Време е за нашия ежемесечен Blog Hop. В този ден, целият екип от Mo's Dream Team се събрахме и направихме по един специален проект, с който бихме искали да ви вдъхновим. Темата този месец е "Момчета", а наш домакин е Лу, така че мястото, от където започва днешния Blog Hop е нейния блог. Щом вече сте тук, значи сте дошли от блога на Хелън. This months theme is "Boys" and Lou is our host so that is where the hopping starts. You should have came here from Hellen. Този път реших да направя кутия за бебешки съкровища и дневник, приютен в нея. Ето какво се получи: Много харесвам Fairy Sleepy на Mo's DP. За мен тази сладка фея е безполова, ако я оцветя в по-топли тонове е момиченце, а в по-студени - момченце :) А сега, след мен, трябва да посетите и блога на Анеке, която, убедена съм, ви е приготвила нещо наистина прекрасно. Next up is Anneke and she has made something wonderful to show you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mo's Stamps Copic Markers Distress Ink Neenah Classic Maja Design Vintage Baby Baby Carriage Baby Bottles Rocking Horse Photo Corners Scalloped Ovals Cinch Book Binding Tool Crop-A-Dille Crop-A-Dile III InLinkz.com
