Mo's Digital Challenge -#43 Wings

Special event for this challenge!

In addition to the random draw for a $20 gift certificate to Mo's Store$, we will be looking for an entry that wow's us for a guest designer spot! Good luck!


This week at Mo's Digital Challenge we want to see projects that have wings! I am a fairy freak so this was a fun challenge for me! Mo recently released a set of 5 little fairies and I thought they'd be cute with a few together on my piece. I don't often color on teeny tiny images so it was something new for me. I sure had to use some of those little glasses to see the teeny parts hehe. I used my scoring board to put the double lines both above and below the image area.

Please hop on over to the Challenge blog to see the samples we have to share with you. Hope you can join us this week!

Happy Birthday Jordan

Jordan, Prom Night 2010

It's so hard to believe my baby boy is 17 today. He's grown up so fast. He's a wonderful guy and we are very proud of him.
We're celebrating at his favorite Chinese restaurant. Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting were his requested dessert. We taste tested a few and YUM.
He is a Pokemon fan and often has a 2 foot stuffed Pikachu as a passenger (belted, of course) in his car. I nabbed a coloring page off the net for his card's image. I think it's pretty funny...hope he likes it too!
