Mo's Digital Challenge with NO CARDS!

OH my I get so excited on Thursdays now! It is MO's Digital Challenge day! I have fallen head over heals in love with Mo's stuff - have you been there to see her stuff! I am sure you have... but if not pop over HERE and take a look and see... bet you go nuts too!

Now to this week's challenge - we were asked to make anything but a card! Now sometimes that really stumps me. As I am just the last couple of months learning how to do 3-d things and make things other than a "normal" card. Well I went through my MO's digital folder to decide which image I wanted to use... I have just started my collection... so I don't have a whole bunch. Folder is growing though! Well my first and one of my favorites images called out - Sumpin's Wrong. Is this just the cutest baby or what?

Now one of the great things about Digital's I am finding is that you can make it the size you need. And I went large on this one. (And colored with my Copics)

This is a gift bag. A chipboard bag that I purchased a few weeks ago. I liked that it is hard sided. I covered it with some of my favorite papers.. DCWV Nanna's baby boy Nursery. I sanded and inked the edges with purple ink. And then ran ribbon across the two patterns of paper, then lace across the top. I untied the handles and added large eyelets - looked more finished. Then I added three mulberry purple roses and some Martha Stewart frond leaf punches.
I added some gift bag filler into the bag - loved how it picked up all the purple cuz it is clear. And you can see.. perfect size for bottles as gifts :0)

Now please do visit the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and see the wonderful items that the DT came up with!!! And join us with our fun! If you don't have any of MO's images... it is instant gratification to purchase them... you can be coloring in minutes!

Craft room update!!!! The flooring went in yesterday!!!! It is so gorgeous! Hubby really has spoiled me! Now just the walls and a bit of trim work and I am in!!! Have a wonderful Thursday!
