Project of the Month Blog Hop - Let It Snow


It's that time again when Mo's Dreamteam gets together and creates a Blog Hop we aim to give you inspiration and a few ooo's and ahh's along the way.

The Theme this Month is let it Snow and was chosen by Peri who is our host this month and she marks the start of the Blog Hop

The image that I choose for my card is Boughs for the Wreath and can be purchased here.

It just oozes nostalgia doesn't it?

I love the richness of this card, coloured with Copic markers and teamed with Kaisercrafts flocked designer paper, Whimsey tickets and the image dotted with glass glitter for the snow.


A close up of the airbrush effect that I used on the imagethis was the start of it, I added shading to the finished piece by spraying a darker green as the figures shadows..




I,m the last on the Blog hop this Month so please make sure you have seen everyones work by starting at the very beginning with Peri you'll be missing out on her fabulous colouring if you don't.

There are still a few days left to submit a card on the DreamTeam blog we are having a DT Call

Hanging the Star


Isn't she simply darling? just the age I love, inquisitive and such fun.

I coloured the image with Copic markers and gave the Copic airbrush another try on the background, the snowflake die is by Whimsey and the word paper by Kaisercraft. I cut out the Peace word and mounted it on contrasting card and lifted it with foam pads

Hanging the Star by Mo Manning is available to purchase here.

Through the Keyhole - Christmas Door

This card was supposed to be for my blog hop on the coming Thursday but I just couldn't wait to show it to you, I did the background with an airbrush, thats a first for me and I was thrilled with the ease of use.
So on to the card.
So who do you think lives in a house like this?
I adore the Door with Wreath image by Mo manning it just totally depicts Christmas to me. I coloured the image with Copic markers then cut around the door so that it opens up, to see who is inside you will need to read the full posting.


Once the door is opened just look who is inside! Santa? isn't it?

I added the Santa Guy behind the door image then cut around the door so that it can be opened.

I think the poor little soul will be traumatised seeing Santa without his beard ha ha.

So sorry for the late posting on this, yesterday was a bit manic and I clean forgot to do the draw, nobody guessed correctly to which tea towel was my favourite, it is actually the plain Glass Clothes so I choose a name by random.
We have a winner of the Matching Apron and Tea towel set, supplied by Al at All Tea Towels.
And the winner is
