Ice Blue

This week at Mo's we reverted back to our alphabet challenge so if you've been following along we are up to the letter "I"  Now you can use anything you want, Like I is for Ice Cream, or anyone of Mo's adorable images that begin with the letter "I" like "I Dunno, "I Even Love the Box", or "I Heart You". Just Use your imagination.. Yeah Wait that begins with an "I"  so like I always say, the skies the limit just don't forget to use one of Mo's images and you're good to go.  So with that in mind, I decided to go with "Ice Blue" and my "Imagination".

What's Black and White and Red All Over

This week, it's my turn to be the hostess and since it's Halloween, I decided that I'd do a Halloween/Fantasy theme to close out the month and with my love of all of Mo's fairies how could I resist using one of her fairies to represent the fantasy end of the spectrum.  This is one fairy that I don't know why   took me so long to add to my collection.  I had Fairy 2 and Fairy 3 for quite some time but what took me so long to just add Fairy 1 to my collection anyway you can find her   HERE.

For the Boys

This week it's our ever so talented team mate Anja's turn to pick our theme and she decided to have us make a card for the boys in our lives.  Well that's easy for me since there is a lot of testostorone in my neck of the woods.   You see, in the Lanci Family, it's practically all boys.. My husband comes from a house of 3 other brothers, his brothers all had sons except one so out of the 8 Grandkids there is only one girl who is the oldest.  They are now having children of there own and out of the great grands there is also only one girl but we tease since it is not a Lanci... but the Lanci boys are having boys....So making boy cards for my nephews is nothing new. We also tease that when my boys get married and have children they are the ones that are going to have the girls since the streak has to stop somewhere.  But anyway since I am making Halloween cards I decided to use this adorable new little image from Mo called Zombified which is perfect for one of the little men in my life or one of the big men in my life since there are so many..lol.  You can find this adorable little zombie right ..

For YouWith Love Part II

Our theme this week is Anything Goes. I love Anything Goes challenges cause it gives me a chance to spread my wings. Now you can follow the sketch if you want by our ever so talented Iulia or like me you can just do what ever you want as long as it includes a Mo's digital image. It's Anything Goes, so the skies the limit!!

As you know, last week I made a book for my son's girlfriend for Valentine's Day I used Ragged Romeo which you can find HERE. Well I wasn't done, I also decided to make her a matching candle, another thing that I've been wanting to try since I saw my DT sister Elaine make one awhile back you can check hers out HERE. They really are easy to make, and as she said, remember to make your image darker than you normally would. If like me you are visual, just go to You Tube and type in Stamping on Candles. Very helpful

Here is the Candle:


The entire project book closed:


Book Open:

I had so much fun making the candles that I had to make another one for one of the teachers I work with who loves angels. So I asked her what her favorite colors are and she said pink and green, so Tina, this one's for you and this image is called Sending Peace and you can find her HERE

Happy Birthday Stupid

Now for those of you who follow my blog, you know about my sister and her antics. Her bunny ears in pictures, and how when we were little she always got me in trouble. Hey isn't that what big sister's do. But no matter what I still love her. As soon as I saw this image at Sassy Cheryl called Very Sassy Opinion which you can find HERE, I knew it was perfect for her and this is why. When we were little, she told me that when she stuck out her tongue it meant she was calling me stupid. So there we were sitting at the table eating diner and it was nice and quite and what do you think my sister does.. You got it, she sticks out her tongue. So I say "Ma, Laura called me stupid" to which my Mom says, Laura didn't say anything stop trying to get your sister in trouble.. So she does it again, and I say "Laura called me stupid again" then you see that smirk...you know that smirk...Ha Ha I got you in trouble. This went on for a few days before my mother caught on.. then guess who got in trouble... So Laura my sweet and loving sister..Happy Birthday... I love you and this card is for you.. I went for the vintage look because I found these gorgeous digital collages at an Etsy shop called
Iralamija Shop. She has gorgeous collages to down load, I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them, and will probably add an element to all my cards whether it's a small ticket or one of her gorgeous postcards they really are a must have. You can find them HERE
