Emboss it with Mo Challenge #169

Here is my latest entry for Mo’s Digital’s Weekly Challenge.

‘On Your Special day’

I have been wanting to use this digital image from Mo for a long time. I love her pretty little dress. So this contest presented me with a great excuse to play with it in my craft room.  I used one of my shapeabilities dies that I haven’t used nearly enough and then embossed it.  I added some rhinestones to it for some bling.  I colored up Cupcake Princess Sienna with my Copics and cut her out before putting her on the card.

Here is the inside of the card.

Lately these colors seem to be jumping up in all of my projects. My other markers are feeling neglect! I suppose this too shall pass. 

Card Ingredients:

  • Paper: Prima Madeline Collection,  fushia cardstock
  • Stamps: Mo’s Cupcake Princess Sienna (digital), Penny Blacks Gratitude set
  • Shapeabilities: Blossoms and accents
  • Cuttlebug embossing folder: D’Vine Swirl
  • Inks: Momento Rich Coacoa, Tuxedo Black
  • Stickles: Cotton Candy
  • Copics: RV11, RV17, E00, E11, E13, E25, E79, BG13, BG18, Y17

 

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr.!!

“Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the staircase.”

– Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King!  This morning during breakfast, I played for the boys Stevie Wonder’s song ‘Happy Birthday‘ that he wrote and produced in 1981 when he was campaigning to get Martin Luther King’s birthday declared a national holiday.

Growing up,  I  remember my mother used to play this song on his birthday every year and we would dance around to it. It became a tradition in our home.  So I thought this year I would introduces the boys to the fun.  Nicholas took to it fast and danced with me in the kitchen.

Today is a very special day for us all and I am truly grateful for the changes that came about as a result of all his and many other’s efforts.

When the boys get home from school today we will complete some coloring pages of Martin to hang around the house. I included a link to the pages below.

I have included a few links for more information on this amazing man:

Have a blessed day!

 

 

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #188

Hello Friends and Happy New Year!  I missed seeing all of your creative goodness the passed few weeks while on vacation.  But I am back and ready to play. Unfortunately, at the end of my vacation I managed to catch a bad cold and have spent all of last week and the beginning of this one coughing myself to sleep.  Yuk!  So I haven’t been able to jump right in to all the projects I had dreamed up while away for each day, exhaustion takes hold.

The start of some new things on my desk.

On to my desk, well on the left you can see some stamps I am gathering. I am trying to decide whether I want to make my own Project Life cards or buy them like I usually do. I have a box of Journaling cards from last year, that  did not use so I don’t even have to cut the paper. I just need to ink and stamp.  I know it will be economically smart to make my own but will I stick with it? Or should I make a whole bunch while watching TV and then have them ready?  Hmmm.. so much to think about.

In the middle of the screen I have a box containing my recent cutting phase with my Cricut. I cut up a bunch of Valentines images and now you can see me playing around with different inks before I use them on some cards. I am using Distress  inks and Pigment inks and I also have a great new embossing folder that says love to use on them.  I will share photos when I complete some cards.

Well I am off to go see what you all have been up to while I was away!

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!
