Mo Challenge #126

Morning all...from a very foggy part of Surrey...but hopefully it'll clear to another lovely sunny afternoon. We've had some fab weather this week :)
Well...here we are at Thursday again, and that means its...Mo Challenge day again!! YiP!! After we gave you last weeks excuse to go out and buy something new, this week we'd better not push our luck and have the theme of... Buttons & Bows...so I think we must all be pretty safe :)
I have used the fantabulous Spring Fairy 'Puddle' ...and coloured it with a mixture of Prismacolor and Polychromo pencils...on Kraft x

 I'm off to sort my craft room...I can't find anything any more!  I had to do a 30min round trip to go and buy silicone glue earlier as it was quicker than rummaging for mine!!! Ooops!!!

Mo's Challenge #125

Afternoon...and a very sunny one here in the South too!! :) I could get used to this...but it's just as likely to snow the next minute though with the weather we've had recently! This should have gone on much earlier...but I was trying to hide it from the person that the card is for! A bit difficult anyway as she's on the team...but hopefully she's got it IRL now :)
The sunshine always makes the day better...and added to crafting...we have it made!  Well... I'm back with Mo and the team...and have missed them all and my crafting...my little pocket of sanity!! lol
This week at Mo's Challenge we have the fab theme of  TRY SOMETHING NEW....I just couldn't decide on 'which' something new!!!  I haven't...sorry...'hadn't'...bought anything new from the craft world for absolutely months...but then!!!...... Oooops!! It all changed!! :)  Soooo... on my card this week I have used a new technique (for me)  of colouring on Kraft cardstock...with my Prisma pencils and absolutely loved it!!

   

 The thing is...do I NEED to buy more when I have Mr Holtz Distress Ink pens on order?? Do I? Huh? Huh? I think maybe....I do!!!!!! Lol

Anyway....I have also used my new Tim Holtz flower/leaf die...Memory Box heart die...Martha Stewart round the page punches and...flower spacers and brads from Nellie Snellen....oh and...Craftwork Cards Designer Paper...that's new too!! :) 

If you can't join in this week due to having nothing new.....you have our full permission to go craft shopping!!! :)  

Mo Challenge #121

Morning all ... gee I'm running late today!! Only to be expected though really as I have a poorly Mum, who has us praying very hard this week. When I'm not with her, I seem to live on the phone to various people and  pestering for constant updates...or had my own heart stopping moments when the hospital phone me! In between times I've found some sanity on my craft desk! Well...actually...there's heaps of it all around my desk too, if I'm honest!!! :)
BUT...it's that time of the week again when we can get some Mo therapy! This weeks Mo Challenge was set by my fabby friend Sheila...and she chose  BINGO for the theme. I have used the totally gorgeous Winter Fairy Talva  and coloured her with Copics .  My three Bingo items are ... Gems...Glitter and dry Embossing......
Nip across to the challenge blog to find out 'how to play' and see all the fabulous creations made by the team.

Mo's Challenge #120

Good morning all. It's a touch chilly here... but the sun is shining and there is no 'white stuff' out there.....YET!!! But...worse things can happen than getting snowed in with all my craft stash!! :)
Well...it's Thursday again which means....it's Mo Challenge day...Yay! And this week we're being spoiled as it's a 'ANYTHING GOES' week with a SKETCH...so dig out your fav images...fav crafty stash bits and get going!!! :)
I've used Mo's totally gorgeous Ragged Romeo and coloured them with Copics.
I had a rummage about in some old paper piles the other day and found this from Funky Fairy...who sadly are no more...but Shaz certainly had some fab designs x
I'm off to find some nice flower punches to play with now....have a good day all...and keep safe out there xx

Music saves My Soul - Pitbull feat. T Pain

Yay...it's Saturday!! :)
I was a bit slow to start this morning after a tiring day yesterday. Usually I'm up and out to Bokwa by 9am on a Saturday...but...my feet just didn't want to make the transition from bed to floor today, never mind 45 mins of high impact, cardiovascular dancing!!!
 This is one of the tracks we have at Bokwa... if you don't know what that is...follow the link to madness!! Lol   Just loving Pitbull...there's something about him.....yum....
 So...by the glory of Music Saves My Soul...I'm just going to listen to it from the comfort of my chair  today  :)

Mo Challenge # 118

Erm....Happy New year all!!!  A bit late as we're so far into January already! But it's Thursday...and it's Mo challenge day and I'm up and running again...YAY!! :) 
This weeks challenge at Mo's has the theme... STITCHING ... Real or Faux... I love sewing on cards, but my machine hasn't made it back out from Christmas time yet...so no real stitching from me this time. I have used Mo's totally gorgeous Winter Fairy Halla  and coloured her with Copics.
Now I've found my craft desk again I hope not to lose it !!
Take care all and hope to be back very soon :)

Mo Challenge # 113

Good morning...although it's a rather chilly one down here...it's sunny!! Yay :)
This week at Mo's Challenge we have a great theme....to use fabric on your cards. I've used a really yummy Christmas fabric with santa hats and candy canes...covered two card panels and used them as a backdrop for this really gorgeous little guy from Mo's Digital pencil x

Mo Challenge # 111 - The Great Outdoors

Good morning from a chilly South of England...but it's neither raining or snowing so it's good with me...and ties in quite nicely with our theme at Mo's Digital Pencil this week...which is.. The Great Outdoors!!
 I have used the gorgeous 'A  Thousand Stars' from Mo and coloured with Copics.
If you have a couple of minutes, nip across to see the teams work...it's fab! x

Mo Challenge # 106

Morning all...

Thursday again already!! But it does mean that it's Mo's Challenge day...AND...almost the weekend too!! YIP  :)

This week we have a great challenge with a few options....Give Thanks/With Thanks/Thanksgiving...it's up to you x

I've used the so gorgeous 'Kisses' image from Mo's ...Digital Pencil 2 ... and coloured her with Copics If you get a chance nip and have a look at the teams creations...they are just FAB!! x

Today is also a mixed emotion day for me... a year ago today I said goodbye to my dear Dad, who sadly lost his battle with cancer x Mixed feelings, as I'm so sad to have lost such a special man from my life...but also...so very thankful...and proud to have had him as part of it xx

Mo Challenge #105

Good morning from chilly... but potentially sunny Surrey :)  
This weeks challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil was a real tough one for me! How was I supposed to chose my favourite Mo image??? ONE??  I mean really!! Lol  But...that's the only tough bit...once you've chosen your image you just need a sentiment to go with it and voila...you're done :)

I have used the absolutely gorgeous Ragged Angel  from Mo's Digital Pencil ...

Music Saves My Soul...Nicki Minaj/Rihanna

Marcea's Music Saves My Soul is back!! :) Whilst Marcea ...like me...has had a busy few weeks, music still plays most of the day (and night)  in my life, so I haven't missed that.
This week I really couldn't decide between my fav two tracks of the moment...but am going with this one from Nicky Minaj and Rihanna ...

Mo Challenge # 104

Good morning!! Long time no see!!
It's been a busy old time here but I'm back!! Hopefully Mr Blogger will post this for me as I'm off on swimming duty at school :)
This week at Mo's Challenge the theme is 'Inspired by a Song' ... set by our ever so talented Elaine.
I have used Mo's wonderful Chimney Sweep image...which of course immediately shouted Mary Poppins at me.
If you have 5 minutes with a cup of tea, nip over to the challenge blog and take a look at all the DT work this week...

Just Inklined Create & Craft Launch

The ever fabulous Jak Heath launched the brand new range of  Just Inklined Christmas products on Create & Craft tonight....and is back on air at 10am and 1pm tomorrow with more new goodies  :)
Here's a card I made using one of the designs from the  Book At Bedtime range x

Music Saves My Soul...Stevie Wonder

I've lost a week somewhere!! Half of the children are back home (that makes it sound as if I have hundreds! lol) ... and I have FOUR days until I drive up and collect my eldest daughter and Grandson as they are moving back in with me :)
 But my music keeps playing and this week for Marcea's Music Saves my Soul I've chosen this track from Stevie Wonder which is one we listened to last night at my sister's house while we sat outside with the wood burner 'til the early hours!! :)

Mo Challenge # 96...Something Blue

Morning all!! Another dull and dreary day here in the UK...think I must have blinked and missed summer at some stage!!  I suppose it kind of blends with this weeks Mo's Challenge as the theme set for us is 'Something Blue' ...that said....there's nothing dreary about any of the DT's cards...nip and have a look at their wonderful work over on the challenge blog x
I've used the totally gorgeous On The Pot (boy)  from the wonderful Mo and her Digital Pencil...coloured him with Copics...and added him to a card with DP's from Stamping Up and the Daisy & Dandelion ranges.

Hope you have a fab day x
