Project of the Month Hop


This is the first of the Blog Hops for Mo's Dream Team

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.

The theme for our projects this month is:
"Favorite Mo Stamp, along with Favorite Color Combo"
So this is one of my favourites.

Kai in the Snow

Take 3

As you can see I printed 3 images coloured 1 totally then the other 2 coloured the parts in the image that would be closest to me.



This gives you a better view of how I layered up the Kai image.

Attention to detail...

I used a peeloff (eek) which was clear with a silver outline and added it to the coloured card and cut around it for the larger snowflake, for the smaller one it was a Kurtake punch then coated it with glass glitter and added a pearl to the centre.

A couple of smaller snowflake to the bottom corner and a little snowman charm to the ribbon.



I hope you enjoyed a view of how I used the image.

For more fabulous inspiration that you are just not going to want to miss go and see Elaine Hughes project, all you have to do is click HERE and I'll take you over there.

In addition to the Blog Hop the challenge team have also been busy, so check out

Winter Door with Wreath

I coloured this digi Stamp (Door with Wreath) by Mo Manning with Promarkers the wreath is part of the drawing but I think you'll agree that it looks 3d it literally pops.
The base card was embossed with the snow fall embossing folder, I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the dotted paper. The image was die cut using the Quickutz cookie cutters some red seed beads a blue satin ribbon and a die cut snowflake, to finish a sprinkle of crushed glass glitter.


Attention to detail...



On this close up shot you can see the crushed glass glitter and the seed beads that I added for berries I dotted a little glue about the image and again added the crushed glass glitter to mock falling snow.

Baby Sitting Jack - 12 weeks old

We had the privilege of having Jack overnight last week, Mum & Dad went out for a meal which meant that Grandad and myself had the chance to get lots of cuddles with this little lad.
I did the during the night shift and Grandad did the early morning shift leaving me in bed for a little while longer.
Grandad and Jack have lots of conversations and this one amused Jack greatly as he went from this........

to this.....
The chat obviously tickled Jack, check out that curly nose ha,ha,ha.
