Challenge 72 - Oh, Baby!

Hi, Mo fans!  And, welcome to our challenge this week. We've got a really fun challenge in store for you. But, before we get to the details, let's see who our lucky winner is from last week's random drawing...

and that is Alexa de la Cruz.. Congratulations, Alexa.. and thanks so much for joining us in our challenge. Just email Mo to arrange for your free digi! And have a great time coloring it up!

One of our newest members at Mo's team is Pat Frank, and she gets to hostess this week. Let's meet Pat...

I still pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming!! Nope...not dreaming...but definitely a dream come true!!

I'm thrilled to have been invited to join Mo's Challenge Blog Design Team. I fell in love with Mo's images early in 2010 when I got really serious about crafting!! I have to confess...I didn't feel comfortable with the whole digital image thing...mostly because I'm not particularly techno-savvy!! So I purchased my first Mo Manning images as stamps! It honestly didn't take me long, though, to figure out that I could have so many more Mo Manning images if I could just overcome my computer phobia!! Well...let me tell ya, that was the only motivation I needed! LOL!! And the rest, as they say, is history!
I'm "Gramma Pat" to 5 gorgeous grandkids...ranging in age from 4 to 12... all living in AZ...while I live nearly 3000 miles away in Richmond, VA!! I miss the grandkids terribly, which is probably why I LOVE making cards featuring little children...like the oh-so-adorable little Mo Manning images! The other day I caught myself smiling while I was coloring one of Mo's images! Do any of you catch yourselves doing that?! hehehe!!
Six years ago I married the most wonderful guy who pampers me...and totally "gets" my paper crafting and online shopping obsession! Am I lucky or what?!! I have been a Registered Nurse for nearly 30 years, and currently work fulltime as an Infant Development Nurse Specialist at the Bon Secours Health System here in Virginia. I'm getting ready to open a brand new clinic where we will follow sick and prematurely born babies and children at risk for developmental delay.

In between taking fun trips with my handsome husband...and reading...and working with babies and their families,  I love hanging out in my beautiful and cozy craftroom. I am just sooooo tickled to be hostess for the March challenges at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog. I hope you have fun with them...and thanks, in advance, for joining us!!

Pat's theme for this week is "Oh, Baby".. and it's your interpretation. Here's what hostess Pat and our team have put together for you this week. Enjoy!








 


 
Oh, baby!!  Aren't these cute?  Come and join us in our challenge this week.. grab one of your Mo digis and get creative. Link up your selection here with Mr. Linky. Our rules are listed to the right of this post. But, if you have questions, please just let us know.

Have a fantastic week, Mo fans!
