It's been awhile...

I'd like to say thank you for the nice comments and welcome to all the folks that are following me from the Swap-bot swap. It feels so nice to have more than 3 followers! I hope you enjoy looking at my creations.


It's been awhile since I've posted any cards. The fact is that I've started quite a few. Sometimes I color some images, other times I work out the background, but for a different card than what I've colored an image for. Either way, I've not really completed any, except this one, which was a commission from my biggest supporter. That would be my sister. She is currently obsessed with fairies and now wants all kinds of fairy cards. I'm meant to make her a boy fairy birthday card for our newphew...the 6'2", turning 16 football player! We'll see how that goes. If I manage it, I will certainly post a photo.

I've also been very busy trying to de-stash all of my stickers and all of my Hello Kitty junk. I've been listing what I can on my Etsy and for the first time in a few years, Ebay. This is an ongoing process as I try to declutter my house.

A Simple Thank You

My sister needed a Thank You card and commissioned me to make one for her. I chose to use the Mo's Digital Soaking up the Sun as this girl just looks sooo happy. It's possible that no one would ever guess my love for gingham and polka dots because I rarely use them in my cards. I truly love them, so I hoard them, using sparingly. I'm working on that, as you can see by this card.
She's been colored with Promarkers and some stickles.

Thanks for looking!

Mo's Digital Pencil #42 Christmas in July

I'm loving all of the Christmas themed challenges that are going on right now and this one's no exception. The latest challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil is Christmas in July and I'm hoping that my entry of Bella and Bronte skating will qualify as Christmassy. I've made this as a recessed window card featuring the pond background digi by The Stamping Boutique.

I've used some dimensional glue on the trees and snow, some stickles for the hats, skates, scarves and snow flurries, colored with Promarkers and chalk. Papers are by DCWV and the pearl border is from Jo-ann Fabrics(only .10/yd!).

Other challenges this is entered in:
