Favourite Mo project for 2011!

Hi there my dear friends! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday and your batteries are fully charged now and ready for a new year abounding in wonderful things!

This is our last challenge for 2011 at Mo's Digital Pencil Too and we have something special in mind for you. All you have to do in order to be eligible for 5$ shopping spree in Mo's store is to share with us your favourite Mo project you made in 2011. As simple as that.

I have lots of favorite cards but I chose this one because it's somehow special and a bit different than my usual style.

Recipe:

Stamp: Mo Manning: Dare

Coloring medium: copics/promarkers

DP: K&Co and Prima- Botanical, the golden globe is from a greeting  card

Embellishments: compass from stash, meatl corner from WOC, Tim Holtz film strip ribbon, gold dew drops from Robin's Nest

Misc: stickles, DI (antique linen and vintage photo), nestie labels 8

Sentiment: Mo Manning- came along with the image

Since I found it so hard to narrow down my favourite Mo projects, I thought maybe a top 5 would be also welcome; so here are my top Mo cards for 2011:

 

 

 Hope you like my selection:)

Thank you  everyone for visiting my blog today and over the past year; wish you all a wonderful 2012 with lots of accomplishments and especially  great health for you and your loved ones!

Big hugs,

Hi there my lovelies! It's been a topsy-turvy week for me and the following ones don't seem to be much more peaceful either; but I'm glad family and friends will be there to fill up my days and ears:)).
It's challenge day at Mo's Digital Pencil Too and I'm going to show you  the last Christmas card I made with Mo's images. Unfortunately I run out of black in my printer and since I was in such a hurry to have the cards done I printed this one in an awkward colour; the image is really wonderful, you can check it here in Mo's store, but they way it turned out, even coloured is not that successful...lol. 

The challenge theme we have for you over at Mo's today is 

The fabric of our lives!

or, less fanciful put- add some fabric:). I inserted a thick golden ribbon and some tassels, hope at least one of them counts for fabric...lol. Sorry for the bad photo, my sister borrowed my good camera:(.

Supplies:

Stamp: Mo Manning- In the Manger

Medium: promarkers/copics

DP: Audrey Jeanne- Nature's Christmas Paper Pack, one of my favorite papers ever:)

Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, metal corner and charm, ribbon from stash, tassels from Joanna Sheen

 Hi everyone and welcome to my 1st year Blogaversary!
I can't believe only one year elapsed since I started blogging, I had the feeling I've been doing this forever:) But with Christmas drawing near and all the fuss and Chrissy cards, it just dawned on me I had to celebrate something else too:)

So, I thought I'd take advantage of this landmark...lol... to thank each and everyone of you for being there for me over the past year. I have met the most beautiful people from all over the world and I'm really thankful for that. I only wish days had more hours to spend them with you all and also to make lovely cards! I also hope I could provide a little inspiration for some of you on the way and hope to be able to do this in the future too!
