Hello there, sweet friends!! It's been months since I posted here! I've been busy traveling but I have made a few cards . . . so get ready for lots of pics! This first 6"x6"card is one I made for our beautiful granddaughter, Sophia! She graduated high school and is on her way to college!! Seems like just yesterday that she was wearing a little blue tutu and tiny black ballet slippers! This image is called "Bye Bye" and it's available in Mo's online store HERE. It's available with straight and curly hair . . . and in boy and girl versions! This is my "go to" Mo image for graduations!

Here's a peek at the inside . . . I tucked a little $$$ in the pocket for my sweet "college" girl!!

And now, for card # 2! This Z-fold card is the "brainchild" of my sister, Dee! Both of these Mo Manning images (Li'l Stinker and You're Ace) are available for members of Mo's Patreon page! I reversed the little girl image and then merged them! This is actually a wedding card for one of my sister's co-workers who is a tennis player. The stinky shoe image is supposed to be his "bride".

My sister came up with the sentiments and then I printed them off my computer! Very clever, don't you agree? I can take no credit!

And next up . . . a gatefold card with belly band featuring Fairy Harrietta available HERE in Mo's online store. There's also a curly-haired version! This card is a commission for my good friend, Sue.

Here's a peek of the card interior! I used lots and lots of sparkle, as you can see! I use Stampin' Up cardstock on all of my creations . . . with a variety of designer papers and fun embellishments from my ever-growing stash! I also colored all of these images with Copic Sketch Markers and various artist-grade colored pencils!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit!! Please check out Mo's Digital Pencil online store HERE and Mo's Dream Team Blog HERE for lots of beautiful inspiration!!

Sweater Weather & Info about Mo’s Patreon page

2023-11-30T16:31:00.002+00:00

Hello again! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying some beautiful Autumn weather! I have another Autumn card to share with you! This one is a 5.5” x 4.75” Z-fold card and features a lovely Mo image called “Sweater Weather.” This young lady has such a sweet smile . . . and those glasses are such fun!!

Here’s a peek at the card opened . . .

This image included that cute sentiment too! Sadly, this gorgeous image can’t be found in Mo’s online store, or as a rubber stamp. This image was released as a special FREE image last year (or maybe in 2021 . . . I can’t recall) for members/patrons of Mo’s Patreon page. Not familiar with Patreon? Here’s what I know . . .

Patreon is an online place where artists provide education, coupons, and free items. I personally am a patron of an incredible pastel artist from Georgia. For a small monthly fee, I get access to a variety of educational videos by that artist. Plus I like supporting artists!

On Mo’s Patreon page, there are several “tiers” including one for $5.00/month and another for $10/month. I signed up for the latter tier. I get access to one or two free EXCLUSIVE images a month, a pre-release image (before it’s available in Mo’s store), and a special code for a discount in the store. Now that’s a smokin’ deal! And that’s how I got my hands on this gorgeous “Sweater Weather” digi image!

I’ve always loved Mo’s images, and have been using them for more than 10 years!!! So this is a great way for me to support one of my fave artists (Mo Manning) and get some great rewards for doing it!! So . . . why not check it out for yourself at www.Patreon.com. When you get to the Patron page, just click on “find creators”…then click on “Mo’s Digital Pencil”…choose your tier and get ready to have some fun!!!

That’s it for me. Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day.

Valerie in Autumn

2023-11-13T21:21:00.001+00:00

Hey friends! So . . . I’m learning a new skill here! I’m trying to figure out how to use my iPad for posting onto my blog and, I must say, the learning curve is a steep one for me (a Baby Boomer who doesn’t understand technology!) Fingers crossed and we’ll see how this works out!

Here’s an autumn card I recently made using the adorable digi “Valerie in Autumn” available HERE in Mo’s online store.

The digi file contains two images . . . This is one of the images. Isn’t she totally adorable? And here’s a quick peek at the inside . . .

I used lots of supplies from my stash of designer papers and dies! And I colored Valerie with my Copic Sketch markers. Sentiment and pumpkin stamps, as well as card stock papers, are all from Stampin’ Up.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Now let’s see if I can publish this successfully! Hehehe!

Please!

To Grammy's

2023-02-19T17:37:00.003+00:00

Hello all! I have a sweet little card to share with you today. My sister, Dee, (my long-distance crafting partner who lives in Minnesota) conceived of this creation for a dear friend of hers who was recently diagnosed with cancer. She actually timed it so her friend received this card during a recent chemo session. Just a little something to cheer her up and let her know she's not alone.

Dee came up with the sentiments . . . and together we came up with the card design, colors, papers, etc. I merely did the coloring and assembling. We make a pretty good team! Maybe we should add my sis to Mo's Dream Team!! She's pretty clever!

This 5.5" x 4.25" card features Mo Manning's "To Grammy's" This precious digi image can be found HERE in Mo's online store!

And a peek at the sentiment in the card insert . . .
