Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge for February

 I recently purchased a few digital images from Mo Manning. She is my favorite artist for child images because she captures the sweetness and innocence of their radiance. I have enjoyed using some of these cute images on my Valentines this year. I made this one today just for this challenge.  I colored the image with Copic markers (my favorite coloring medium). I used some design papers as the frame and as the diecut heart border. I have 3 grand daughters so I thought one of them will receive this and they all like bling, so I added the rhinestone trim.

Crafty Catz 537 and My Time to Craft 450

 

I am entering this in the Crafty Catz Challenge and the My Time to Craft challenge this week since Valentine and Love are the themes. This is a cute digital I purchased from Mo Manning. The sentiment is from Unity.  I used a pale pink card base, a designed paper background and a pink glittered paper heart that was diecut. For embellishments I added a rhinestone color and a heart sticker for the tag. 

Here is where you can find these challenges:

Use Your Stash Challenge 415 - hearts

 

A friend sent me this sparkly glittered heart probably over a year ago, and I finally made a Valentine worthy of  it (hopefully). The sentiment is from an old retired Stampin' Up set that I have kept over the years. The lacy border is made from a die from Sizzix, I used kraft paper as the base just to contrast a bit from all the shiny and sparkle. The red is a foil paper and I used white for the lacy borders and sentiment.

Double D - Valentine/Love and Mod Squad challenge

 

I used a Gina K stencil for this design, and the sentiment is from a retired set from Stampin' Up.  I used candy apple distress oxide ink. The hearts are puffy stickers. There is a strip of washi plaid tape across the tape.  

I am entering it in the Double D challenge this week and the Mod Squad Challenge to use the word Love on your card.  You can find that challenges here:

It's been really cold, however, the warmth of gifts from loved ones has succeeded in making us happy.

Let's thank them for all the efforts they make!

Create a project that features a mailman/ postman, letter box, letters, mail truck or envelopes.

Should you post to an online gallery other than your own blog, please add keyword or tag CCEE2105.

We hope you will be inspired to play along and share your creations with us using Mr. Linky over on the CCEEStampers blog site HERE. While you are there check out the design teams fabulous creations for this challenge. 

Here is my card which is a free digital I got over on Impression Obsession. I colored it with colored pencils. The die cut is from Tim Holtz (Sizzix). 

Color Throwdown Challenge #628

 

I stamped this card for this week's Color Throwdown challenge using pastel pink, lime, lavender, and aqua. I used some of my distress oxide inks. I used an image from Unity as is the sentiment. You can find the details of the challenge HERE.

Retro Challenge

 There's a great color challenge going over on the Retro Challenge this week to use red, black, white, and gray. I love this color combo so here is my card:

Love this paper that I had in my stash for over a year. I colored the some of the white flowers on the design paper red. I used town black strips to crisscross in front of the card. I stamped the Enjoy in candied apple red distressed oxide ink, then I die cut it and stamped the "this moment" across the front of it.  I mounted it all onto red cardstock,
