Mo's Dream Team Project of the Month 1 year Celebration

Its that time again and this Month's theme Frogs and snails and puppy- dogs tails, that's what little boys are made of. And Kerttu is our host.

We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way.

The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit.



You should have landed on my blog from Kerttu

My Image is Tex (no puppy dogs tails but there is a horses tail) and he can be purchased here

Couldn't you just pick him up and give him a big slobbery kiss? Tex is a smile image because everyone smiles when the see him I love his little holster with the bottles and the soothers tucked in the belt, sheer genius.

Next up on the blog hop is the uber talented Peri who will as always have something breath taking to show you.

We would love you to join in our 1 year celebration and if you visit the Dream Team Blog you can play along on the hop as showcase your own card with the theme Frogs and snails and puppy- dogs tails, that's what little boys are made of made with Mo’s images.

Dancing Mr Santa - Sassy Cheryl

I'm thinking that this card may have Jack's name written all over it, it is a scalloped circle card made into an easel card, Dancing Mr Santa is a digi stamp by Sassy Cheryl and I love it.

Coloured with Copic Markers and a snowflake and a leaf punch to make the garlands.

Attention to detail...

The attention to detail just has to be the leaves and the snowflakes each one individually glues in place to create a garland around the image.

The List - Sassy Cheryls Challenge 33 Lets add some dimension

The digital image is called The List and can be purchased here

I wanted to keep it simple so my dimension is adding layers and seperating them with double sided foam pads you can see this more clearly in the picture above

Mummy - Mo Manning

Check out his gym shoe peeking through the bandages.

Most of you that know me will also know that I struggle with Halloween cards, I love to see them but I'm just not that good at making them, so this one is my 2nd attempt I got the whole card made the first time and decided that I just didn't like the layout but I have to say now that this one is finished I'm pleased I pulled the last one apart to save my image.

Mummy is by the uber talanted Mo Manning and can be purchased here.

Bouquet

It's not my Birthday, It's not my Anniversary, he ain't in the bad books, yet I got a bouquet from my wonderful husband today.

Now this can mean one of two things, either he loves me orrrrrrrrr he has done something that he daren't tell me about yet ha ha!

Either way they are gorgeous & I'm feeling a very spoilt girl at the moment.

Larabelle - Tiddlyinks

I thought as soon as I saw this image by the talented Christy Croll I thought that it would make a fabulous card for a younger person as a good luck card, something like University or starting a new job or going for an interview, I love the suite she is wearing and I think it would have been my choice when I was younger and in fact both of my girls would have wore this type.

Any way.... Lara Belle can be purchased here

Coloured with Copic Markers, backing paper Stampin Up, edges done with the Fleur di Lis EK success punch, some black nail heads and purple ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Hopeful Thoughts

Possibly the quickest card I have ever made, 2 minutes and it was done.

Clean and Simple most definitely.

Black and white card sock, Hopeful Thoughts stamp set by Stampin Up, Martha Stewart Deep Edger Punch and some black ink the white card is all one piece just scored and folded like a shadowbox but without the aperture.

Sadie with Apples - Mo Manning

I wanted this card to have an earthy feel to it, I think I managed that, yes?

Sadie with Apples by the talented Mo Manning the image can be purchased here.

Coloured with Copic markers and then distressed with sponge and ink around the image.

Design papers by Stampin Up, a few berries and some ribbon from my stash and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Eskimo Kisses - Siku & Shiya / Create4fun challenge

I loved playing with this image to make it 3D if you look closely you can see all of the fur has dimension and also the little skirting on Shiya's coat.

The image is by Mo Manning and called Siku and Shiya and can be purchased here and I think it is the sweetest image I have ever seen.

The frame was made using the nestabilities Squares and then embossed with the Limited edition 2009 snowflake cuttlebug folder I know a few of you have been searching for that folder and I have seen it on eBay and I was also told that Custom Crops had some in stock.

I coloured the image with Copic Markers.

Also entered into the Create4fun challenge

Attention to detail...

Die cut Marianne poinsettia cut in blue and white and edged with crushed glass glitter and a prima flower center added to the middle, also a couple of iridescent wired pearls added.

A couple of punched leaves coated with the glass glitter and 3 mother of pearl, pearls.

Peace on Earth

Clean and Simple was my theme for this little beauty, I've had the Reach for the Stars image for a while and new it would make a beautiful Christmas card and I wasn't disappointed.

Reach for the Stars by Mo Manning can be purchased here

Coloured with Copic Markers and the shading was done with Prisma pencils, a pretty bow and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Game On- Fab'n'Funky challenge

This is one of those images that will be used over and over in our family it would work from teenages up to grown men, I knew this one was a winner as my Mam claimed the card even before it was made ha ha!

Also entered into the Fab'n'Funky Challenge

The image is Game On by Mo Manning and can be purchased here.

Just look at the concentration on his face, woe betide anyone who dares to walk in front of him.

Colouring medium - Copic Markers

Papers - DCWV

Embellishments - Buttons

I truly think every one of us has one of these guys at home. I know it's a pose I often see Chris in. He often challenges Natalie (daughter) to a game of some kind and then both of them makes it their mission into getting a higher score than other.

Even secret practices happen. They just never grow up do they?

Jack Helping with the housework

I know, I know it's pink but Jack was desperate to have a broom or a vacuum so what else could a Gran do.

We had Jack to ourselves all afternoon as his Mum has just had her tonsils removed and need some rest.

We had a funny thing happen at bathtime though eeek! I got his hair washed and his body and we were then playing with his bath toys when all of a sudden he let out one almighty pump, which on any other occasion would have been fine but Jack has had a dicky tummy and I can tell you now it wern't just air that came out "blech" we had brown water and he was still in it.

Needless to say I hollowed for Granda and we had to show him down.

Chi - Tiddlyinks

It has been such a long time since I made an Oriental card and then I came accross Christy Croll at Tiddlyinks who is one talented lady, she makes cute fun digital stamps that are sure to please in many a style so theres something for everyone.

The image used for the card is Chi and can be bought here

Coloured with Copic Markers double mounted onto a Bo Bunny designer paper.

Kissing Robins

This just depicts Christmas to me, I simply lurve Robins.

I'm always well pleased when I get a Christmas card with them on.

The Kissing Robins is a new Digital Stamp by Just Inklined, I coloured it using Copic markers and then added Crushed Glass Glitter to the top of the house and around the oval, The base card is embossed with the snowfall Cuttlebug folder and the ovals cut with Nestabilities

Free Halloween Sheet

I've no card prepared for today so I hope you will forgive me, I was at the theatre last night with my Mam to see a play, a very funny one too. I'm not sure if I have already told you how amazing my Mam is but I wanted to tell you that she has started a computer course. When we lost Dad my Mam picked up a computer for the first time and loved it, she views many of the blogs from my Blog Links she surfs the WWW if she needs to find products and the likes and she wanted to know a bit more so she signed herself up and has even set up her own email address.

So rather than a card I know many of you have know started on your Halloween Cards so I've prepared a free sheet to help you on your way.

Click on the image to bring it up to full size then save it to your computer.

Autumn Splendour

Don't you just love the Autumnal colours? the trees are now a rainbow of the Autumn shades, vibrant and glowing earthy tones. I tried to capture a bit of that in my next card.

Three Trees is a new Just Inklined Digital Stamp which you can colour for any season, I used Copic Markers and the olives and orange shades then distressed the edges of the cards with distress inks.

Background papers are from Stampin Up the Autumn Ribbon is from my stash and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Queens Cutie - Kenny K

I simply love these DCWV papers they mix and match so well. Bunny Zoes Crafts even to samples of them so rather than get 2 of each design you get 1 of each for half the cost, it's a great way to get a couple of packs that you like for the cost of 1.

The image today is Queens Cutie by Kenny K coloured with Copic markers.

Just Inklined to Hop - Stripes

Just Inklined's blog hop with the theme of Stripes

Karen is our Host this Month and the hop starts with her so be sure to strat at the beginning .

I used the Betty Bumblethorpe Digital Stamp which is a delight to colour and can be purchased here .

A close up view of Betty looking very much like my Mother-in-Law Shhhh don't tell ha ha.

Roses in Bloom

Clean and simple with a splash of colour, the cram packed Roses in Bloom Stamp set by Waltzing mouse Stamps never fails to produce a card that I love, I teamed with the Universal Embossing Folders Budding Vine .

I stamped the rose on a seperate strip of card to make the background then stamped out the smaller rose coloured it with Copic Markers then cut it out to add to the gift tag.

Sorry Shanna

My card today was inspired by Becca Feeken she used cupcake liners on one of her cards and I found some at Sainsbury's whilst shopping they aren't cheap at £4.99 for 12 lasor cut outers but they do look lovely on a card I used 2 of the outers to make this card.

Sorry Shanna is a digital stamp by Mo Manning, coloured with Copic markers and diecut with Nestabilies Labels, a ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

A close up of the little lady, you can also see from this close up picture that the cupcake outer has a antique finish with a brown edge to the cut area.
