Another Go with an image by Mo....

Isn't she a cutie? But biggest regret: The Green. Seriously... for those of you that watch Dr. Phil... I can hear him in my head saying, "What were you thinking?!" I love green... a warm green... but I've never warmed up to this Apple Green at all. What was I thinking?!! LOL...

Anyway, I'm going to try her again in soft pink... everything is nicer in pink. 8)

Father's Day

What an awesome Friday! Last day of my holidays and my big list of "to-do's" is done... okay mostly done... but there are a lot of check marks on things I've not been able to get to (aka procrastination at it's finest).

The card I'm sharing today was not a Have To Do from my list, but a Want To Do. My friend Donna has her Dad in the hospital in Newfoundland recovering from a stroke for quite some time. She's been to visit and has tried to manage things as best she can from here in Ontario. With Father's Day approaching I thought this little Mo Manning fishing image might be just the ticket for a card for her to send. The inside says (or at least it will when I'm finished... see what I mean???)... "Happy Father's Day".

You Touched My Heart...

... and this little Mo Manning image has stolen mine. Isn't he something else?! And so fun to colour too.

Layout is pretty basic. Where would I be without the Spellbinders? Huh??? Hope you don't get sick of this Jillibean paper......like I said I bought a wack of it. LOVE IT LOVE IT.

Ta-rah for now!

OCC Challenge & Mo Manning

Well I finally did my very first Mo card. I have a few of the images and I've been colouring like crazy, so I thought today I would use one in a card for the OCC Challenge:

I bought a whole wack of this gorgeous Jillibean Soup - love the softness and the small design. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts clear set. (Don't you just love Mo's images??? **sigh**)

Back to the Copics!

Two Hearts One Love

Hi everyone! Made a wedding card with the beautiful Basic Grey Cappella designer paper - how can you go wrong?

Not sure why my photos of the inside always turn out fuzzy. Weird.

Hope you're enjoying this great Spring so far. I think I'm going to enjoy the sunshine all the way back to my craft store for more of this Cappella gorgeous-ness.....

Missing You...

I love it when all the scraps on my desk seem to go together and it give me ideas. Besides it's so much more fun to make something then having to put everything away!

I didn't feel like doing any colouring, so I just stamped with the brown & green from the SU colours and kind of layered it off kilter. The flower was an afterthought (and probably too big)... but what the heck... it stays! 8)

A Friends Anniversary Card

Made this card for someone who asked that the Anniversary card have a "friends theme" as the receiptents are such good friends.

So I came up with this.

The little white flowers I bought in the wedding section at Michael's (with a 40% coupon... of course!... ha) - they come in a big tin. Then I just ran them through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and sponged the edges lightly in Barely Banana.

Well........ Mother's Day weekend. No big surprise on what I'm working on now. 8)

Catherine's 1st Communion

Today is my niece's 1st Communion. I thought I'd make her a card that she might identify with instead of something a 7 year old may not want to read.

I thought this girl from MFT (B.C. Dzyns) might be a good pick. I found the sentiment in Ottawa years ago, liked it then, but never found the right time to use it. Here's the inside:

Well that's it for me. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!! 8)
