Fun, huh? And, you know that Mo has so many adorable images that are just perfect for this week's challenge! So have fun with this!! And, as always, if you need some inspiration, the Design Team  Mo's DP2 Challenge

This challenge was perfect for  my daughter-in-law's birthday card. Here is my furry friend!

 

I love one of Mo's newest images, Nurse which is right on as she is studying to become a nurse!!  I sized and printed Nurse on white Cryogen and colored her with Copics. I framed her in Cheery Lynn's dies, Polynesian Sails Oval. The center of the Polynesian sails has a circle doily.  This makes the perfect card corners when cut into fours!! How clever is that!!  Using Basic Grey's Sweet Threads and Viva Decor Pearl pens I completed this 6" square card.

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!!

This was a difficult challenge for me!! I couldn't decide what project to make.  So, I decided on an Altered Clip Board. The Sweet Stamps I used are Poinsettia and Poinsettia Large.  I painted the clipboard with Making Memories Paint, cranberry and evergreeen.  The poinsettias on the clip board are stamped in black pigment ink.  The small Poinsettias in the photo corners  and Poinsettia Large are stamped in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and colored with Copics.  The DP is from Basic Grey.  Lace Light Deco Border and Elegant Evergreen Die from Cheery Lynn add Christmas Flavor. The gold gems are from my stash. The ribbons are from American Crafts. The clip board was sprayed with a gloss acrylic spray.  The sweet girls on Santa's lap are my granddaughters, Kathryn and Kaitlyn.
