Emboss it with Mo Challenge #169

January 19, 2013 by 3 Comments

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.!!

January 15, 2013 by 2 Comments

“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!
