Mo's Digital Challenge

Before I go any further... will some kind person out there please tell me how to set my font and alignment to the left so that I don't have to do this each time I type a new Post.  It is driving me crazy.....  Just email me please... thanks

As you know I entered Mo's Digital Challenge last week for the first time and thought I would do the same again this week.  Her images are so cute, the one I've used on this card is called Claire and she's a real sweetie.

The base of my card is a peppermint green, especially chosen to match the dotted DP. This paper was also my inspiration for deciding what colours to use for my image. Coloured in with copics.  The rest of my embellies were purchased from Paola and the flower in one of Paola's own creations. Ain't she a clever cookie?  The tag was cut out using my new cutter which Kendall bought me... I am so pleased with it, now I don't have to try cutting these out by hand...lol 

A glimpse at the inside of my card. I used 2 different sized nesties, kindly cut by Paola as I don't have these gadgets, matted one on top of the other and this is where you write your message.

Thanks a ton for visiting and for leaving such lovely comments.  I've really enjoyed reading them. Will be blog hopping soon to pay you all a visit. Take care, sleep tight, Sharon x

Monday Mojo Challenge

This is my entry for the Monday Mojo Challenge this week. I used their fab sketch and made this card for a friend who is attending a wedding early in March. She asked me to make her a card for the happy couple and requested something to place the money in, as this is what they are giving them as a gift.  I came up with this little number, hope you like it.

The gorgeous DP is from Upikit International.  I used Mo's Digital Stamp for the image and coloured in with Copics.  All the other embellies ie pearls, beads and rhinestones I purchased from Paola.  The sentiment is a wooden stamp purchased from Charmaine's.

As you can see I created an envelope to place the monetary gift in and wrapped ribbon around to keep it closed. [I am really not an expert in this field... as you know, I am also still learning, so be kind :)  My friend Paola gave me a link to some wonderful tutorials which I still need to visit thoroughly to learn these new techniques.]  Gives a nice presentation of having to open the gift, don't you think?  Cut the paper for the message with a nestie - gives it a nice bridal feel too.

A final pic for you to see the sparkle on the dress.  A very happy client, she was thrilled with it.  Hope you are too, all comments are welcome... thanks for popping by, hugs Sharon

My first challenge with Mo's Digital Challenges....

Wow, we're having a heatwave in Cape Town. It think it was scheduled to reach about 36 degrees celsius today and I was planning to stay indoors with the curtains closed to keep my place nice and cool, but I had to go out to collect an envelope from the Post Office... well... let me tell you, I was dripping by the time I got home... roll on AUTUMN!!!!!

I've had some digistamps of Mo's for a while now, all coloured in and waiting to be placed on a card, so I ventured over to Mo's Digital Challenge blog and the challenge for this week is 'Clean 'n Simple'... you really can't get a more simple card than the one I've come up with today...lol   It was so difficult not being able to grab some DP, cardstock for layering, some bling... etc. you catch the drift?  I really hope you like this little number I've come up with, it really is what it's supposed to be...lol

The image is Patience... I ADORE this image. I keep wondering what the poor little kitty is thinking... lol   They really look as if they could be great friends hence the plain and simple sentiment on the card.

That's it for now... there's another image waiting to be placed on a card and it's one of my NEW ones, so I'd better dash... chat again later, hugs Sharon
