Fave Mo Card for 2012

Hi everyone! It's time for our last challenge for 2012 at Mo's Digital Pencil Too and this time we would like you to look back at your creations and choose your favorite with a Mo image on of course and show it to us...again:) I know it's hard to choose, I just picked one which just  stuck with me, maybe because I love summer and warmth perhaps even more than the magic of winter and Christmas. So this is my favorite card for 2012:

Here's the link to my post, in case someone is interested in details. I just love this card!:)

I also have a new card to share with you. I kept this one simple in coloring, no shade or anything, these are cards I made the last minute and must admit I chose some images which required as little coloring as possible:)

Card recipe: 

Image- Mo Manning-Christmas fairy Holly

Images- Digital stacked papers from Digital Scrap Boutique

Coloring medium: copics

Embellishments: flowers/WOC and IAM Roses, bells/Cart Us, ribbon/Ribbon Girl, bird,snowflake/stash

That's it from me today! Look forward to see your favorite Mo cards/projects for 2012! I know we'll all be blown away with beauty!

Please take a minute to look at the gorgeous cards of my teammates. They really had a hard time choosing their faves as well but all their cards are just amazing!

Thank you for your visit!

Big hugs to all!

Just Another Christmas Shaker Card

Happy Sunday, sweet friends! I have a short post today just to show you a quick card I made for a friend. I love making shaker cards and I thought this cute Mo Manning elf would look lovely under an acetate sheat and some beads floating around:):

I love using scarpbook paper lately with more realistic patterns; I think they confer a more festive look to Christmas cards.

Card recipe:

Image- Mo Manning- Little Elf Pipa

DP: Cajoline Papers
Embellishments: WOC flowers, ribbon, star/stash, bells/Cart Us
Die cuts- Marianne Design-pine branch, nestabilities grand ovals and standard circle

This is quite simple to make for a last minute card. I made about 5 of these, not identical but quite similar. I never succeed to make two cards just the same.

Thanks for coming by today!
Take care,

Anything Goes at Mo's Digital Pencil Too

Welcome sweeet peeps and Happy Saint Nicholas to everybody who celebrates this wonderful feast!

I have a short post today, I must get ready for guests coming by this evening! I have a Christmas card to show you today, naturally. Our challenge theme over at Mo's Digital Pencil Too is

Anything Goes!

so  no challenge at all..., just show us your card/project, with a Mo image on of course:)

I've been so willing to color up this gorgeous Mo image- With the Baby-  to the point I even made several cards with it, which is quite unusual for me:).I have lots of requests and no time to make these Christmas cards. Everybody wants them the last minute. People don't actually know how much time goes into each one of them. They just look at the card and say "WoW! This is gorgeous! Could you make me about 10 of these?:)))" As if it's a pice of cake:))

This is an easy card to make but nevertheless it took me about more than 1 hour and a half. So, think about making 10 of these for instance... and for tomorrow....lol.

I couldn't take a good photo as the papers are a bit glossy and the light reflects either on them either on the acetate on the window. The sentiment is in Italian as this is for one of my husband's customers in Italy.

I also added a small glittery star on the window. I was thinking about more things to draw, that would be an interesting idea. I think acetate is my favorite material this Christmas:). It's so versatile and looks awesome on cards.

Card recipe:

Image- Mo Manning- With the Baby

DP: Vintage Christmas- digital- from Jessica Sprague- awesome Christmas collection:)

Coloring medium: copics/promarkers

Die cuts: Grand Arched Window- Poppystamps- from Dies to die for, nestabilities- fancy tags and Persian Accents, Memory Box- Frostyville Border and Holly Flourish

Embellishments: flowers from IAM Roses, ribbon-stash

Sentiment : computer generated

I would also want to enter my card in the following challenges:
Crafts and Me - Anything goes,  Freshly Brewed -  Christmas, Whimsy Inspiration -  festive, Deep Ocean Challenge -Christmas, The Stamping Boutique - Holiday Cards,

This is a quite simple card to make at this time of the year; I love windows and doors on cards; I think they are a must in our ever growing...pffui...die cutting collection:)

Thank you all for coming by! It's a pleasure to hear from you all!

Hugs, 

Christmas full of Love
