You remember Oxford from last week, right? It was my first time ever coloring red hair. (You can see the list of supplies used here.)

Well, I inked Mo Manning’s Oxford up again this week and colored darker skin for the first time. I was pretty nervous about getting it right.

What do you think? All the fun papers are from Cosmo Cricket’s The Boyfriend mini deck. I really like the inside too. Here’s a photo of that…

The stars are cut out using a Cuttlebug die and the “congratulations” is a rub on from Pebbles Inc.

Hope everyone has a fantastic 4th of July weekend! My sister and her family and driving in from Iowa (I’m in Utah) so I am ecstatic!! Be back again soon with a Christmas card. :)

Morning all! I was up until the crack of dawn finishing this card for (possibly my last?) 7 Kids Challenge then blogger gave me upload issues so it was late. Bummer. Did I mention I’ve served on the 7 Kids DT for a full year now?? Who knew I had it in me?! I work with some amazing ladies who I totally look up to. Just working with them (and attempting to make my cards even half way as fab as theirs) has helped me improve over the past 12 months. So I thank them for helping me grow and for a blast over the past year.

The challenge is “It’s so Fluffy.” My first idea didn’t work out. It just didn’t fit once I had the image colored and the card ready to assemble so I added the um, fluffy felt star boarder. It was the best I could come up with. :)

I love Mo Manning images. This is Oxford. He’s the first image I’ve colored with red hair. Thought it was about time I tried to do so. I’m not sure I got it quite right but I did my best with the Copics I have. We’ll call it wonderful and add a few new markers to the “want” list.

Who doesn’t love chubby babies? This chubby baby is Mo Manning’s, “Sumpin’s Wrong”. I stamped him with Memento tuxedo black ink on Neenah cardstock and colored him in with fabulous Copics. I cut his mat out with a few Nestabilities, embossed a strip of green cardstock with my Cuttlebug Spots & Dots folder, and added a handful of Basic Grey buttons to finish it off.

Hope you all have fun plans today. My little family is joining my husband’s side of the family at the zoo. My three-year-old is super excited. It’s feeling like a zoo at my house already. :)

I love this image. I love all of Mo Manning’s images however this one reminds me of my curly haired daughter. It makes me happy.

This weeks Practical Scrappers challenge is to use flowers. My term at Practical Scrappers is almost over too. I’ll soon be design-team-less. Weird…but good. They’ll have a design team call posted soon if they don’t already. Apply for a fabulous time. Only a 2 month term too which is just about perfect in my book. Plus, Christine is absolutely fantastic to work with.

I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll have time to whip up a few High Hopes cards this week. The challenge is a freebie (anything goes) and I have multiple stamps sitting on my desk begging me to ink them up. I have a HH stamp to giveaway too.  :)

Supplies

Stamps: Mo Manning from Stampavie- Soaking Up the Joy (available in rubber or as a digi)
