OK...enough silliness (it's all true!! LOL!)...it's Thursday and that means it's time for another fabby challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Our "hostess with the mostess" once again this week is my sweet friend and cleverly talented Design Sister, Dawn!! And this week, Dawn thought it would be fun for us to use "our favorite recipe" as the theme!! But then, bless Dawn's heart, she took pity on me (the "non cook" of the group!) and modified the challenge theme to the following:
A Recipe for Friendship...
Take two people with common interests.
Mix together with love and understanding.
Stir in a sense of humor and a lot of compassion
Bake for a lifetime...and enjoy the fruits of your labor...
knowing that you both have made a remarkable concoction that will last forever!
Soooooo...I've been just itching to use Mo's adorable little "What's Cookin'?" image...
...and this seemed the perfect challenge for this darling little cutie patootie!! (Although, I must tell you that some of my silly DT sistahs suggested I might want to make some kind of card depicting me ordering "take out"!! Very funny, girls!! bwahahaha!!) OK...here's my little card...
I actually had a lot of fun with this one...well, I always have fun coloring Mo's images...but this one quickly became a "Shabby Chic" card when I decided to add a little Tim Holtz "Picket Fence" Distress Crackle Paint. I added it to the edges...flowers...and the fabulous metal filagree corner! Here's a close up of the corner...
I actually found some old cards that I cut apart and used as DPs...all color coordinated! I love 'em...but have no idea who makes 'em...sorry. I used the fun sketch from Wild Orchid Challenge...so I've decided to enter this little darlin' into their challenge too...pretty smart since I always use "goodies" from Wild Orchid Crafts! The filigree corner and flowers all came from WOC! PLUS...I won the random draw last week for some wonderful WOC craft supplies to add to my ever-growing collection...whooohoo! Here's a close-up of the Wild Orchids Craft flowers I used...
Here's a side view...this ribbon is from Stampin' Up...I just love using wide ribbon for my cards...really adds character, don'tcha think? I also used Copic sketch markers...and the sentiment is Magnolia.
And here's a close-up of these fun charms (they came from Charm Barn online store)...and the crystal and cute safety pin came from my local Michael's craft store...
And here's a peek at the inside...this darling sentiment is from Hero Arts...I've had it for ages...and am so tickled to finally be able to use it!
Sheesh...longest post in history! Thanks for hanging in there...now...pop on over to Mo's and see what my talented Design Teamies have come up with as inspiration for us all...
Then...get crackin' on your own masterpiece. Remember to use at least one Mo Manning image (there are so many digi images to choose from in Mo's online store...and she's creating new images all the time!!) Oh...and be sure follow Dawn's fun and clever "Recipe" to be eligible for this week's awesome prize of a free Mo Manning digi image of your choice! ...
Oops...I almost forgot...add GD after your name if you're interested in entering our Guest Designer "call" for the month of July!
So...that's it for me, kids. (I hear you breathing a collective sigh of relief! LOL!) Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit...and, as always, for your kind comments. Until next time...
