Mo's digital pencil challenge - halloween

here's my participation for Mo's challenge over at the challenge blog
this week we have to make a Halloween inspired card.  I had this freebie from Mo from quite some time ago and hadn't gotten a chance to use it yet so this challenge was perfect!

pp: Rose Moka, Pebbles inc, doodlebug, prism smooth

stamp: Mo's digital pencil

ink: copic (R20-R22-RV91-RV93-RV95-RV99-Y17-YR04-YR07-YR23-E000-E00-E08-E31-E33-E35-E37-W00-W1-W3-W5-C1-C3-C5-C7-0-100), Distress inks (dried marigold, victorian velvet, aged mahogany)

other: nestabilities

tea party anyone?

this week's challenge at Mo's digital pencil is all about little girls and let's just say that Mo has great little girls images.  I also used the sketch #125 at Taylored Expressions.

Bellarific friday

Hi everyone!

the month is coming soon to a close and with that comes start of the school year and the end of the search of the new Stamping Bella gal!  I am really crossing my fingers that it'll be me!!!

this week's challenge was a sketch

here's my take on it.

what's in it: 

cs: Bella's bestest paper

pp: Basic Grey (Oliver collection)

stamp: Toby is two by Mo Manning (in rubbah at Stamping Bella's)

ink: memento,versacolor, copic

other: pop dots, nestabilities, sentiment by TLC creations

here's a close up of the sentiment.  I didn't use the one that comes with the stamp, not that it's not cute, but i downloaded this freebie from TLC creations a while ago and think it's absolutely adorable.

thanks for stopping by,

practical scrapper and Scrapbook Star "Crop for the cure"

Claudia & Co challenge please scroll down

Yesterday i was lucky enough to go spend the day at Scrapbook Star for the "Crop for the Cure" crop.  I must say i was quite productive (for me, anyways) I made 2 layouts and 3 cards.

Here are the two layouts i made:

the first is of my oldest who lost his first tooth last week.

pp: Cosmo Cricket (Nutmeg collection), Basic Grey (Oliver and Olivia collections)

chipboard: Maya road

letters: Jillibean Soup

stamp: autumn leave

ink: versacolor

other: washi tape, nestabilities, EKSuccess border punch, pop dots, cork

and the second is of my youngest blowing bubble, for this one i used Erin's sketch for the practical scrapper online anniversary crop

cs: Bazzill

pp: the girls paperie, My little yellow bicycle

letters: American Craft thickers

stamp: Hero Arts

ink: versacolor

pen: signo (white), Zig (brown)

other: paper distresser (Heidi Swapp), paper piercer (StampingUp), pop dots, acrylic baubbles (unknown), Emiliy Powers Photology 2.0

here are the two cards i can show you, the third you'll have to wait for Bellarific friday to see it.

the first is for the challenge at Claudia & Co, we had to use a Lollipop; this is Gracie Lollipop

cs: bazzill

pp: My Mind's Eye, Sei

letters: Basic Grey

stamp: Claudia & Co - Gracie Lollipop (you can find the rubber version at Stamping Bella)

ink: Copics (E000-E00-E31-E35-E51-BG73-BG75

other: EKsuccess border punch, ribbon (Offray)

 and the second is for my mom, she has a wedding to go to and needs a card.  i'll probably add the sentiment "for a long life" or something like that.

cardbase: Kaiser cards

pp: Jillibean Soup sticker border

stamp: digital by Mo Manning

ink: copics (W1-W3-W5-W7-C1-C3-C5-E00-E02-E43-E47

flowers/pins: Making Memories

lace(unknown)

bling: multi-craft

zoom...zoom...

i made this card for a friend's husband how races in Lightning Sprint which is bigger than a Go Kart.  hopefully he won't find this too childish.  I really like it...probably becasue i got to use another one of Mo's images!

I'm entering this card in Mo's challenge - beach/summer.  for me Go Karting is a perfect summer activity with the boys.
I'm also entering it in the Taylored expressions weekly sketch challenge.

what's in it?
cs: bazzill, prism smooth, BoBunny
stamp: Mo's digital pencil (zoom zoom)
ink: copics, white gel pen, spica pen
other: Smooch (illuminate)

Bellariffic friday and photos

tomorrow is Bellariffic friday at Stamping Bella's and i am trying to participate more since i have a ton of stamps (i bought a whole bunch, not just 2 or 3, when i was there for the Donna Downey workshops...yes i will post some of my projects soon...just have to finish them)

Emily was away in Europe so the last challenge was given two weeks ago and it was a sketch so i made two cards with it.

the first is the teacher card you saw yesterday

the second i finished this morning.  I used one of Mo's images that was turned to rubber with Stamping Bella, her name is Cinderella of course.  i  modified the sketch a little, flipped it to the side but kept the email right side up, does that make sense?

also entered in the Digital Pencil Too challenge #37 - anything goes!

on to the photos. 

tuesday was Brady's last day of school, here's one of the only pictures i took because my battery died.  I used a free Polaroid action i found called Polaroid generator by RawImage

while he was at school Charlie and I visited a friend, we were outside and Charlie had a great time blowing bubbles, he was pretty good too!

this one was modified using Photology 2.0 from Emily Powers

which one do you like better?

well that's it for today!  see you soon with more cards!
Oh! i almost forgot... tomorrow i'll be picking a random commenter from the blog hop to win 2 stamps from the release so you still have time to enter!

BellaG Designs and my boys

So first off i just wanted to share these cute pictures of my boys; they are growing up so fast it's unbelievable! You are probably wondering what Charlie has in his face. Well, I personally do not like Cadbury easter eggs with the gooey creamy center but i was curious to know if the kids liked them so while we were running errands at the pharmacy i bought them each an egg that they quickly devoured in the car. Of course that meant very chocolaty fingers! I told them to lick them clean (uh, hello! that's the best way to clean up chocolate!) Brady just wiped his hands on his jeans (after i specifically told him not to!) Charlie (that's my boy!) licked his fingers clean, well almost. He started with the pinky, that he stuck in his mouth of course that made the first and middle finger stick up in his face and that is why he's got two chocolate lines up his face. On the whole drive home i kept telling him not to wipe his face clean cause i wanted to take a pic! scrapbooker mom, what can i tell ya!

now off to some cards. here are all the cards i made for my first special order through BellaG Designs. These were all for one of my hubbie's co-worker. hope she likes them!
