My Fave Mo "Make" of 2014

Hey there, my lovelies! Welcome, once again, to my little corner of Blogland!! And Happy Holidays!!

Guess what? There's another super fun challenge happening over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Our challenge for this fortnight is for each of us to take a look at all the projects we've created in 2014 using one (or more) of Mo Manning's images . . . and then select a FAVORITE!! Whoa . . . that's a tall order! I love ALL of my Mo "makes"!! This card, though, is one of my faves! You may remember seeing it . . . just a few weeks ago, in fact! This is the card I made using Mo's "Fairy Christmas" digi set available HERE.

The following post first appeared here on my blog on 11/27/14. Enjoy!

*****

I used all three of the Fairy Christmas images and merged them! And then . . . I added lots and lots and LOTS of glitteriness!!

I decided to do something a little different . . . I decided to make a "Shadow Box" card (you can find an easy tutorial HERE) . . . but then I took it a step further and made my "shadow box" into an easel card!! (I needed more space for more and more and more glitter!!)

My card "recipe"

Fir tree die: Magnolia

Pearls & white cardstock: My stash
Embossing folder: Embossalicious
Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds: Stampin' Up
Snowflake punch: Martha Stewart
Snowflake edge punch: Stampin' Up

Copics & color pencils

And a side-ish view . . .

So . . . now it's your turn. But first . . . please head on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog HERE to check out the fabulous 2014 cards made by my talented Design Teamies! Then, please join us! Just upload a fave Mo card or 3-D project that you created in 2013.

Oh, oh, oh . . . and don't forget, Mo is awarding (selected at random) one $5.00 shopping spree at her online store for every 25 challenge participants! What an easy and fun way to get some new Mo images, right?!

Okey dokey . . . that's it for me! Sending much love and joy to you and yours this holiday season! And . . . here's to a very safe and prosperous New Year for us all!! Warm hugs . . . until next year!

We're getting "KRAFTY" at Mo's!

Hey everyone! Just a couple of week's until Christmas . . . and, as luck would have it, it's also time for another challenge over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! This fortnight's "host" is my talented friend and Design "teamie" Kim!! She'd like to see cards and projects made with . . .

"Kraft Paper"

Hmmmm . . . pretty easy, huh?! Here's what I came up with . . .

And another . . .

And one more . . .

I decided to make three small "kraft" cards using Mo's "Valerie in Winter" images!! They're precious . . . and super-de-duper easy to color/paint. I used Copic Sketch markers and colored pencils for these cuties . . . and, naturally had to add some "sparkle"!!  You can find this fabulous "Valerie" digi set HERE in Mo's online shop!!

And here's one more pic of all three little cards . . .

Now, I hope you'll pop on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog to check out the fun projects created by Kim and the rest of my super-talented Design Team sisters! Then please join us for this fortnight's "Kraft" Challenge!!

** Mo will be awarding (winner selected at random) one of her images as a Penny Black "Slapstick" cling stamp!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!! Hugs . . . .

Clean & Simple, Kraft Paper, AND Mo Manning . . .

Hello everyone! Just a quick post today since I have lots and lots of Christmas "things" to get done . . . but I wanted to share a little Clean & Simple creation I whipped together using kraft paper and a darling little Mo Manning digi image . . .

This cutie is called "Snow Pals" and is available HERE in Mo's online store!! I actually painted this image with Sennelier watercolor paints! And added a bit of Liquid Applique (enhanced with my heating tool) for the fur. DPs are from Nitwits. Here's a side-ish view . . .

Don't forget to join us for our current challenge over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog where our theme is "Snow"! Mo is awarding (selected at random) one $5.00 shopping spree at her online store for every 25 challenge participants! What an easy and fun way to get some new Mo images, right?!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!! Hugs . . . .
