So that is what I got up to on Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, I came home worn out and shattered and curled up on the sofa with the poorly blanket.

Sadie’s Potting Bench

Isn’t this just the sweetest darn thing ever?


Sadie and The Potting Bench are by Mo Manning and they are just made for each other, I could have merged the two images together but I felt that Sadie needed to stand out a little more and I wanted you to see the cute birdhouse on the potting bench.


I used Basic Grey designer paper and coloured the images with Copic Sketch Markers used a pretty spring green satin ribbon and made some roll up roses to match the colour scheme.

Little Umbrella–Mo Manning

Well today I started a new journey on the hair front, as you know I have an important wedding ahead of me in just seven weeks I will be the Mother of the Bride and I needed something fresh doing so I had my hair highlighted and the start of a new style cut into it. So maybe it’s that that got me in a fruity mood but who knows ha ha ha.


So Little Umbrella Digital Stamp by Mo Manning was coloured and made up with a Fruit Salad feel to it. Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers and Prisma Pencils and teamed with Stampin Up designer papers, I love the fact that she is curvy.

THE CARNIVAL

Clowns, Fairy floss, sticky fingers, squeals of delight and of course complaints of sore feet near the end of the day... Where are we?

THE CARNIVAL!!
If you just popped on by to say Hello and want to join us on the super carnival hop then you’ll want to ‘START HERE’ with me.
Zoe from
Make it Crafty and Mo from Mo’s Digital Pencil, came together to share the delight and fun of The Carnival. To celebrate - the two fabulously talented teams have come together for a massive blog hop to offer you plenty of inspiration when playing with these images.

Along the way you will find balloons with a letter in them.





Print





Write down the letters as you go because at the very end we want you to guess what the saying is!
There will be THREE grand prizes randomly drawn from the correct answers PLUS there will be hidden prizes along the way so make sure you leave some love as you hop along!
Now we know this is a super big hop, but we wanted to make sure you would get LOTS of inspiration! The hop will be open until the 28thApril so you will have plenty of time to come back each day with a cuppa to soak it all up! (Just don’t lose the letters you have been collecting!)



I have one carnival Themed Card and one Fun Card to show you



Below is JoJo from Mo’s Digital Pencil and Ticket Booth by Make it Crafty
