Sprout

Hello again from Arizona!! My sweet hubby and I are wrapping up our visit here . . . and getting ready to head back home to South Carolina! I have a couple more cards (made in my AZ studio) to share with you!! I'm happy to say that I've done a bit of shopping . . . for DPs, dies, and embellies! Yay!!! But I will be thrilled to get back to my "well stocked" SC studio . . . and my camera! I love my iphone . . . but it's not the best "camera"! LOL!

Here's today's creation . . . a "thank you" card for our neighbors in SC who have been watching over our home in SC and bringing in our mail this past month!! They're the best neighbors ever!!

This card features an adorable Mo Manning image called "Sprout" . . . she's available HERE in Mo's online store! This cutie has always been one of my favorite Mo Manning images . . . and so easy to color!! Here's a close-up . . .

Birthday Pig

Happy Tuesday, friends!! Hello from Arizona!! My hubby and I are here visiting kids and grandkiddos . . . and watching some Spring Training baseball . . . and enjoying the gorgeous 70F degree weather!! And by the time we're back home in South Carolina, most of that beautiful yellow, allergy-inducing pollen will have settled down! Yay!!

I've been having some fun in my AZ studio creating new Mo Manning cards! I don't have nearly the crafting supplies here that I have in SC (although I have done a bit of online "die" shopping . . . patiently waiting for my orders to arrive! hehe!), hence, the slightly simpler card creations!! This one's a birthday card for my son-in-law!

This card features an adorable Mo Manning image called "Birthday Pig" . . . it's available HERE in Mo's online store! And . . . it includes TWO fun sentiments!! Wheet whoooo!! I love "freebies"!

Here's a close-up . . .

I'm Baaack!!

Hey friends!! I have the best news to share with you ... I'm blessed and excited to be back on Mo's Dream Team!! This past year has been kinda nutty for me . . . all good tho! Retirement, new house, and a move to South Carolina!! Plus . . . I'm excited to say that Mo has been talking about resurrecting Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Super Yay! So stay tuned for more info on that!

And now . . . on to my newest 5" x 5" card . . . 
This Mo image just seemed perfect for my "return" to blogging and to Mo's Dream Team! I actually used a Mo Manning image in the form of a rubber stamp (from Stamping Bella) . . . but this cool image is available as a digi too! It's in the section of Mo's online store called "Retiring Images" and is called "Checking FB" . . . it's available HERE in Mo's online store!

Here's a side view . . .
