Oh Paddy Boy......


     Hey, so far so good.  I'm still keeping up with my calendar pages and Mo came out with the perfect new image for March.  I think no matter what ethnicity you are, everyone turns Irish in March.  LOL  I can claim some true Irish blood in my mix although it's pretty diluted, but I think this little fellow is full on from the Emerald Isle.
     Obviously it's Thursday and time for another challenge from Mo's Digital Pencil.  We're about to undergo some changes at Mo's and we hope that you'll like them.  Starting next week our challenges will start being bi-weekly on the 2nd and 4th Thursday's of each month.  Same rules...follow the theme and use a Mo image.  On the 15th we will be opening Bronte and Bella's Club House on Facebook.
     Make sure you check out all the details on the DP2 Blog today to learn how you can join in this new place to play with Mo's wonderful images.  Here's a little bit about the Clubhouse.

As a Clubhouse member, you will get to...

  1. Participate in monthly "Showcase" challenges (beginning April 1st)...with a chance to "win" a Guest Designer spot for a month!
  2. Hang out with fellow artists and crafters (card creators and non-card creators!)
  3. Meet new friends and reconnect with old ones!
  4. Learn new crafting techniques!
  5. Participate in games & contests...with prizes!
  6. Have access to surprises you won't find anywhere else!!
  7. And so much more!
     Sounds like lots of fun huh.  We know that a lot of people spend more time on FB than blogging so we wanted to open that avenue up for Mo fan's too.
     Here'a closer look at "Paddy" who you can find in Mo's store.

     And here's my usual bad lighting pic of him in my calendar stand.


     We'd love to have you play along with our challenge this week which just happens to be "Anything Goes" for your chance at a $5.00 gift voucher from Mo.  She gives one away for each twenty five entries we get.  Don't forget to check out all the deets about the new FB Clubhouse too.
     Have a fabulous Thursday!

Oh...sigh.He is adorable...I can almost hear his Irish brogue. Stunning colouring to bring him to life. Love the doodled frame and the lovely Irish lace :) Your paper choices are wonderful...subtle but adding fabulous texture and those shamrocks are a great touch. What a delightful calendar, Tracy.

I love this image...no references to green beer or kissing, but just this precious little guy holding the shamrocks...adorable! The coloring is sheer perfection. I don't know how I'd ever be able to go to April.
