Dog treat box

This week on Mo's challenge blog we were asked to Alter an item. I have these wonderful doggie treats I make for my dogs --they love them, may I add---and I wanted to make a fun box to keep them in. I used Mo's fall pup image and coloured with my copics of course. The paper is from a great pet stack from DCWV. I added a few fall leaf embellishments and a little bt of raffia around the outer edges of the box. I just used some simple stickers for the workd treats and all finished :) Enjoy and have a wonderful day everyone.

If you are interested in the recipe for the treats..Here ya go!

1/2 cup water

3TBSP peanut butter

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 350*. Mix all ingredients. Spread dough and cut into shapes ( I found a great dog bone shape cutter at hobby lobby). Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Copic used

Sweet baby girl

Today's card is inspired by an old friend who just had her second baby girl. I wanted to make a very girly card and I think that I did accomplish today.

This image from Mo's digital too is popping up over an over for me this week. It probably looks familiar since I just used it last week also. Another thing that looks familiar? The sketch..I used my sketch challenge this week for this card too! I love the sketch and I think I will be using it over and over again. I like how it mixes and matches the papers and gives the card lots of dimension.

I am also entering this card in Mo's weekly challenge..It's all about the bling. You know I love my glitter and bling! If you would like to join in, come visit Mo's blog here. Today is the last day for the bling challenge, but there will be a new one posted soon.

Super Saturday Sketch #35

Super Saturday Sketch 35. I can't believe I have made it this far with sketches already. With another 17 more and it will be a whole year already. I hope you have had a chance to do a couple of them or all of them if you are ambitious!

My sketch coincides with Mo's digital challenge this week. The challenge is for spooky Halloween theme. I love all of the great bright colors that Halloween brings. I was able to use some of my K&Co paper stack I have been using for two years now. It's starting to get down to the end, but I love it!

Best Friends

Digital pencil challenge #44 is all about inspiration. Bright colors were to be used and I really found out..I need some more paper. With thousands of sheets of scrapbook paper around the house, I couldn't find any bold bright colors. Does that mean I need to go to the scrapbook store??? Hmmm...Maybe!

I used Mo's digital stamp named "buds". If you like it, you can pick it up here in the digital pencil store. I just added some charms and flowers for the girlie touch.If you want to try the challenge, check out the dp2 challenge blog here.

Paper Piecing Alice

Happy Tuesday! Today's creation is all about paper piecing. In Mo's digital challenge this week, we were asked to try some digital paper piecing. It was a challenge because I have only done rubber stamping piecing. I just ran my image through the printer as always and ran a second scrap of DP through after. Color and cutting out the apron is all that is left to do. Once I actually did it, It wasn't as hard as I thought. I will have to try this technique again soon. My papers are some leftover scraps I had laying around and just some simple ribbon to finish it off. If you are interested in this adorable Alice in pencil image you can pick it up at Mo's digital store here. Thanks for stopping by!

Super Saturday Sketch # 29

Today is another long card for my sketch. I kept the sketch simple to showcase the beauty of the design. I think it gives the card a clean crisp look.

My sketch this week doubles with the DP2 challenge #40. It is for Masculine cards. I thought this Little guy was perfect for my choice this week. You can find him in mo's digital pencil shop. His name is Jeffy in July and you can grab him here.

Make a splash..DP2 Challenge #39

Make a splash. That is sure what I will feel like this week. It is due to be hot and steamy around here all week. It will be wonderful to just sit and relax at the pool and soak up the sun. I really wish I was like this sweet young lady and heading to the beach, but with a broken toe and the ocean over 1000 miles away, I won't be seeing any white sand beaches for some time. This is a darling image from the digital pencil too shop called to the beach. If you want her, head on over and grab one. Click here for Mo's store!

Mo's Digital Challenge..Now and Forever

This is one extra card I made that was part of the set I was working on. This design called simply "bride and groom" by Mo's digital pencil is just darling. You can order it here or one of her other fabulous designs. This week's challenge was to make a card using "flowers" for spring showers bring May flowers. I thought what is more perfect than flowers for a wedding. I love how this one turned out. Simple but elegant. I hope you get a chance to try some digital designs..They are actually lots of fun.

Misc: Pearl bling and primas

The journey begins

This is my very first challenge card for Mo's digital challenge blog. It is all about mo's fabulous digital stamps and creating fun cards with them. This weeks challenge was to make a masculine card..which we no are all too hard to do. She has a lot of great masculine images in her shop..Click here to take a look! If you get a chance, click here and check out her blog and see what a great job the design team did with this weeks challenge!

For my card I used one of my favorite digital stamps Captain Hugh and the matching pirate stuff set. I used photoshop to remove any background and made it a white fill to layer all the pieces together. If you don't know how, just use a magnetic lasso around the image, inverse the image and erase the background. This leaves your image to "save as" a png file. You can then layer it without having the rest of the images show through. Never save over your original image, this way you always have it. You can always make a copy of your image before you begin just to make sure!
