Bye Bye!

Hi again, my friends! I have a Mo's card to show you today! I just love the Bye Bye Boy and Bye Bye Girl images that Mo drew. And Cosmo Cricket paper, of course! If I can manage to part with this I think it will be a RETIREMENT card for our 4th grade teacher, Mark (taking his toys and going home!). Mo has images for so many purposes! I printed the digital image out on my Canon printer onto Neenah classic Solar Crest white. I think the trick to the printer is to have one with a rear tray so the paper doesn't have to bend around as it prints. My card is a standard A2, but the fold is to the left. I love rounding the corners of the opening edge!

He is (of course) colored with my copic markers and I save the colors this time!
E000 and E11 for skin.
E31, 33, 35, 25 and 29 for his hair
BG10, 72 and 18 for his jeans
Y17, YR15, YR16 and YR18 for his back pack
Coo, C1, C3, C5, and C9 for the bike tires and handlebars
R24, R35, R46 and R29 for his jacket and bike.
I also added Glossy Accents to the windshield of his backpack. and Silve Spica pen to the tassles and hub caps and the bumper on the pack so there is some nice sparkle and shine.

Speaking of that, there is a Mo's Blog Hop tomorrow you won't want to miss! Hope you can hop with us!
I've had a question about coloring red and they are tricky! I think red bleeds more than the other colors! I will try to some sort of picture tutorial in the near future (school's almost out-1 week to go!) because of this request by JzScrapRN. For now, I think the main thing is to be sure of your color choices-all reds are not created equal!
Thanks so much for coming by the Cottage today!

Mo's DT blog hop! In Stitches

I hope my card doesn't have you 'in stitches'. When I thought I could complete this card on Wednesday night I wasn't planning on a blazing headache!! I had this adorable image of Eli colored, but had to put the card together and stitch.

That's where it fell apart! I never should have stitched my focal image because I botched it up horribly! It looks like Eli took over driving the sewing maching instead of his box!

Well, the image is super and here is the link to Eli on Mo's Digital Pencil Too!

If you're traveling in order you came here from Rosettes' blog and I bet you love what you saw there!

I have the colors, but just can't get them typed tonight. Will try to get it done tomorrow.

Now you can move on to some fabulous prjects by the other DT members as you move through the hop!

Next up is Lori and you'll want to see what beauty she has come up with!

Thanks for stopping by, I've been soooo happy with all my visitors this week!

Please remember you can go HERE to comment for a chance to win my Tilda Honey Bee project!

AND you can go HERE to win another card and a Tilda stamp!

With appreciation! Enjoy your day!

Turquoise!

Well, it's STILL snowing in Western New York! I'm okay with it because I finished TWO cards this morning and I want to show you both of them! This is an image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I'm so sorry I can't find it in her store. It was one of the freebies on Paper Craft Planet when she reached a milestone in memberships. I'm not sure what number, but you may be able to find it there for FREE! I love the paper on this card. I saw them first on Paulabella's blog.
My touch was to add the homemade chipboard buttons. I used the Sizzix button die that I got from SU, cut them from Cool Caribbean and cardboard then glued them together and sponged the edges with Teal. After that I tied yellow embroidery floss through them. Neat!
Mo's wonderful illustration is colored with copics-I think this kid's mom owns Geranimals! Even his sneakers match!! And the dog collar!
(I'm lovin' Cool Caribbean with Teal and Kiwi green! More to come with this combo!! You betcha!


This quickie card is one I made to mail to a friend of ours who fell and broke his hip. They have two new Golden puppies so I made the dog all yellow.

Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Thanks so much for coming by! Coming soon will be the Copic Creations challenge AND the Magnolia-licious March monthly challenge which is a fab sketch by our Jacque!

Enjoy your day! I'm off to dig the car out for a trip to the Post office-blog candy to get in the mail!

Uh oh! Sam's in TROUBLE!

Hi! Here's a card I finished the other night, but needed better light to photograph. It still isn't as crisp as I would like, but I wanted to show it to you! This is Sam, who is in trouble (again!)! He was recently added to Mos' inventory of awesome digital stamps. You will find him in Mo's Store HERE.
I printed him onto Neenah Classic crest white in a small size so I could put him on a regular A2 size card. The dp is from Cosmo Cricket awhile back. The sentiment is handwritten (yes, in blue pen! What was I thinking?!) and punched out with the SU small oval punch. buttons are from Papertrey Ink.
I think I could use this for a late birthday card or just for fun! I know my sister might appreciate it because she went through this with her son a long time ago! She could laugh about it now!

thanks so very much for visiting! I love reading your comments and appreciate each one.
Have a great Saturday!
