Ladybug Friends

I don't know why I can't remember to post my McMahon Five Designs card before I go to bed on Friday but I never remember until I see Sue's newsletter in my inbox!  Anyway, here's my cute little Ladybug Fairy!!!

Kris has really been making some cute designs, hasn't she.  She creates the Imagine That digi images and the Bella's Beauties digi paper!

I took a mini vacation (with my mom, sises, and niece) Memorial weekend to visit my brother in Eastern Idaho.  We had a great time visiting Mesa Falls--one of my favorite places on earth.  Before we drove up there, we went to a Carousel exhibit at the Museum of Idaho and I dropped my camera and broke it.  We ran to Walmart to get another but I didn't have the correct car charger for it so I had to borrow my mother's camera to take pictures at the falls. I'm going over there tomorrow to help her plant some roses and a Wisteria tree so I'll get the photos then and share them next week.  I think you'll love Mesa Falls as much as I do!!! 

Now, on to the rest of the release.  Be sure to stop by my DT sister's blogs to see examples of their projects!

Hi all!!!  I've been doing a little more drawing and thought I would share my latest girlie!

I can see problems but I still really like how she turned out.  I'm still not sure how and where to shade but that's why I keep practicing, right?

Thanks for looking!!!

Blessings,
Christine

Red Red Robins...

...just a bop bop bopin' along.

It's another new release today at McMahon Five Designs.  I really am loving the new illustrators that we have now.  I chose to use one of Kris' new images to work with this week.

This new image comes in either a line drawing or precolored so you don't have to color if you don't want to.  But I love coloring so much that I just had to color these beautiful robins.  Plus, if you would rather, this bird is generic enough that you could color them up in any number of bird species, don't you think?

Do you want to see what else is being released this week?  Well, you twisted my arm!  First of all, is the set that I used for my card.  You may notice that I used some of Kris' digital paper for my card too.  In case you didn't realize it, you can just print the paper and use it in your card or project just like any other paper.

I'm One Groovy Happy Camper

Wow, we have been busy at McMahon Five Designs!!!  Our two new illustrators are outdoing themselves and Sue has created a really cute digi.  She even had me in mind when she drew it.  

I mentioned this a few weeks ago and then Sue decided to delay the release of this image so we could spotlight the new illustrators.  Those would don't follow me on Facebook don't know about my love for vintage campers.  Sue combined my love of vintage campers with my inner hippy for this image.  I LOVE it!!!  I didn't find room for it but Sue made some great sentiments to go with this image!

I'm heading over to my mother's house today for an art day!  I'm not sure what we're making yet but I know what colors I want to use so I'll be packing that.  It's kind of fun to go without a plan and just jump in there!!!

Have a great weekend all!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Spring Birdie

I'm taking a class, Spark Your Spring, by Marjorie Romney-Aslett.  It's such a wonderful class and she teaches so many beautiful spring projects for your home.  I've been working on a few but finished this one!

Isn't this about the cutest thing you've ever seen!  Marjorie is so clever and her projects are so cute!  I used fabrics on the wreath that I got from the thrift store.  I bought a couple of bags of fabric scraps.  I think I'm going to get some more.  They are so fun to work with!

On Saturday, my brother cut down my sister's twisted willow tree.  I took the opportunity to get some for my spring decorating!  I think my brother thought I was insane when I pulled several branches to the side for crafting!  He just doesn't understand me!!!  They sell those at the craft store for $10 for a small bunch.  I probably pulled out a hundred bucks worth and mine were all hand picked!

Anyway, I made the nest using some of the twisted willow, wire, and my trusty low temp glue gun.  Thank goodness it was low temp!!!  I'll be making a lot more of these little nests with the branches I saved!  I added some moss to the bottom to kind of ground it to the wreath and added some shredded book paper that I sprayed with some different spritz sprays.  I got the little birdie at Michaels and added the little ribbon rose.  I think it's the perfect addition to her hat!

I'll have to wait until the rest are complete in order to share more.  I am decorating my white feather tree for spring.  I might share some sneaks of each project before I finish with everything!  I think I'll only be doing two more for now.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week!!!

Blessings,
Christine

See I told you!

I'm posting again today!!!  McMahon Five Designs has two new illustrators but they aren't new to the McMahon Five Designs family.  The first one is our very own Kristine.  She is now designing a new digital stamp line called "Imagine That" and a line of digital papers called "Bella's Beauties."

Our other illustrator is Michelle P's brother, Ryan.  Michelle talked him into sharing his doodles with us.  It's gonna' be so fun to get the male prospective.  He came up with some adorable images for his first week.  His line is called "Draw Me a Daydream."

I made a card with the most adorable image that Sue made just for me but she decided to wait on that one so we could really give our new illustrators the spotlight!
