Don't Tell Anyone...

I have had this cutie in my digi collection for quite some time. Isn't it adorable?!?

It is a Mo Manning image called "I Forgot". You can purchase it for yourself HERE.

She has been colored on my craft desk just waiting to be used for about a month, poor thing...

I FINALLY got some crafty time and had to give her a home.

I will probably keep her in my stash for the next time I forget something, which

probably won't be long. HeeHee

I did a little "research on the Forget Me Not flower and found that they are blue or blueish purple.

It doesn't go too well with the color scheme of my card but it fits the theme.

I think it stands out nicely.  

I am entering my card in the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #266, Anything Goes.

Inside:

Image: Mo Manning - I Forgot (colored with Copic Markers and Prisma Pencils)

Paper: Pebbles - Special Delivery 6X6 Pad

Sentiment: Generated in Microsoft Word

Accessories: Spellbinders - Standard Circles Large, Seam Binding Ribbon - Hug Snug dyed by "yours truly',  K& Co. - Adhesive Rhinestones

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Yesterday was my Daddy's Birthday!! I was torn between a funny card and a handsome "guy" card so I decided to mix the two. I gave the card a clean look with manly stripes and a funny sentiment. The inside says..."you must be approaching magnificent!". I think he got a kick out of it.

I hope you had a great day Daddy. Are you thirty yet???

Love you!

I used this new Mo Manning image called Introducing Oskar. Isn't he a dapper fellow? He looks a bit older than my Daddy but I think he worked well. I am entering this card into Mo's "Button's & Bows" challenge.

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #76 - For a Boy

Happy Friday Bloggy friends! I get to share some BIG news with you today. Today is my first post for Totally Papercrafts DT. WooHoo!! I was so excited and honored to be asked. So every Friday; just in time for the weekend, I will have a new challenge for you to join in.

The theme this week is "For a Boy" and our sponsor is Charmed Cards & Crafts, a great on line store with a wide variety of products for your paper crafting needs. The prize is two digi bundles of the winners choice.

When I saw this little cutie I knew he had to go into my Mo's Digital Pencil file!! He was too cute not to pass up. I was working on my card and was thinking of putting a button in the bottom left corner and was wishing I had a small roll of toilet paper sticker or button, but alas...no such luck. Then my creative consultant (who chooses to remain nameless) says, "Just make one". Easier said than done right?!? Then proceeds to tell me exactly what to do!! How clever is my hubby...ummm I mean "Creative Consultant". Lol

Happy Birthday Sista!!!

I am soooo late in posting this card! My Sister's Birthday was on the 17th and with Christmas I totally forgot to send her a card for her Birthday. I know...I know...that is so slack! I did call her and talk to her ON her Birthday if that helps redeem me at all. She lives in Colorado which is way too far for my liking. We went and spent a week and a half with her and her family this summer and it has made me miss her even more. So.....
***HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!!!***
I LOVE you!

This is us back in July! See...just like the picture (but swap us around).

Dino Boy!

Happy Birthday to my "Best Boy", "Buddy Bear", "JoBoo", "Mini Man"...

My son Jackson turns 12 tomorrow! One more year and he will be a teenager! Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday he was running around with his curly hair and dinosaurs. He and his dinosaurs were inseparable! When he was 3 my brother in law asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he told him, "I want to be a Paleontologist". I don't think he was expecting that answer, but that was just Jackson. He soaked up every bit of information he could find about dinosaurs like a sponge. That phase passed a couple years ago and I miss it so much. He actually had a dinosaur back pack in kindergarten. So when I saw this image from Mo's Digital Pencil I knew it was the image for him. He actually had a dinosaur back pack his first year of school. I am entering this card in Mo's Challenge this week for "Fall Colors".

**HaPpY BiRtHdAy JaCkSoN!!!** We love you Dino-Boy!

Now we have a Mohawk! Lol

This week Mo's Digital Pencil challenge theme for the hop is the rainbow -- all colors of the rainbow. I chose pink. I love pink! All shades of pink. I haven't been able to play in the Mo's challenge in quite a while and I barely made it in. Hopefully I can play again next week.
I used Mo's "Strawberry Girl" image and colored her with copic markers. She is just so adorable. The sentiment was made by my daughter.
I will be giving this card to my niece for her birthday later this month. This little sweetie reminds me of her when she was a little younder. She is a cutie patootie! (with a mind of her own) I love you Adain!
