Mo's Digital Pencil

I love the images Mo draws, they are so detailed and when you want to sit quiet and colour they are perfect. I first spotted Mo's images last year on Rachel's blog and knew I had to buy some. I have bought quite a few and made some lovely cards but as usual forgot to photograph them before I posted them. This is the one exception.

I have been playing with several new images that Geek Alley (my talented BIL) has drawn and will be posting one later today.

Dino-mite Birthday

I have been sorting through the mountains and mountains of craft stuff I have bought over the years. I saw this image on a blog over a year ago and just had to buy it to make a card, well I has sat in my craft cupboard ever since. Do any of you do the same? I have stamps that have never been inked, paper too nice to use, and loads and loads of decoupage. I have decided that every week I have to use some of the mountain before I buy anything new. Oh well lets see how long it lasts, hehehe.

Cricut 60 card

My Mum asked me to make a card for her friends 60th birthday and to make the numbers as large as possible. I knew I had seen a lovely card like that on Zoe's blog so I decided to make one very similar. The lady loves red so I knew this would be the colour scheme. These cards are so addictive once you start and I have made a 70 for my Auntie who's birthday isn't til May, I know how organised am I, and for my friends 40th. I used the cricut to cut the numbers with the George & Basics cartridge.

I resisted buying a cricut for a few years because I thought the cartridge system would be really expensive and although they aren't cheap they contain loads of different elements. I was really lucky to be in Florida on thanksgiving and able to buy a cricut for a reasonable price to try but I must say I have used it so much since I would have gladly paid full price. My matting and layering has never been so neat.

Tween Card

I said yesterday that I had a tween card to show today and I thought I ought to post before work for a change. The image was draw as a request by my brother-in-law. He enjoyed drawing it so much he has been drawing away ever since. Hopefully I will have more of his images to show soon. I have left the card fairly plain to show off the image.

Panda Card

I have been playing with some images created by my brother-in-law for my blog header and created a card for a friend who is a huge Panda fan. He created the image and enjoyed it so much he has been busy drawing ever since. I will have another card tomorrow featuring a tween boy and I think you will love his images. I have added a link below the image to his blog where the images will be available to buy. Even if you don't want to purchase any images at the moment he would welcome any ideas of images you would like to see.
