Thanks Mo!

I got this sweet email from Mo Manning this evening. She is the illustrator of the images for the cards I showed on my blog yesterday. She had an opportunity to see my cards using her adorable images from her store, Digital Pencil Too, that I had posted here. She had asked me if she could share my cards with her blog readers... awwww..... I was so honoured! She had some wonderful comments for my cards and she just made my night! Thanks Mo! I'll be back to buy more images very soon!

Come and check out's Mo's blog, Mo's Digital Pencil Too! and see her post here with one of my cards on it. Goodness I love her work....

A New LOVE!

I love browsing blogs using my Google Reader.... especially scrapbooking and card markers blogs. I must have 150+ blogs I follow and a few days ago I came across a blog that was showcasing some ADORABLE digital stamped images... and needless to say.... I couldn't resist having a few of them to add to my ever expanding digital files.

So I went to visit the Digital Pencil Too; a blog and store created by Mo Manning and I was in LOVE! I loved ALL the adorable images she has drawn and shared and I wanted to take them all home with me. I did manage to buy a few of my favourites to use and create with. And of course... when I have something new, I just HAVE to find some way of using it right away.

So here are some of the cards I created using Mo Manning's wonderful digital stamps.....

Note: I printed all my images out on my Laser printer. This heat sets the ink and allows you to use your images with Copics.
