Dream Team Blog Hop of the Month

Its that time of the month when the Mo’s Dream Team come together and do a special project to give you a little inspiration and hopefully some Oooo’s and Awes along the way.

This Months theme for the Blog Hop is Summer Tones and Pops is our host and that is where the blog hop begins.

I couldn’t resist using Kai in the Sand from Mo’s Digital Pencil  for my image this month as our two girls simply loved the seaside when they were little and this is such an adorable image.

Coloured with Copic markers and Prisma pencils and the gorgeous ribbon is 5/8 two toned Grosgrain from Ribbon Carousel

Slimming Results - Visual Changes

Today is the first time I have seen a visible result in my opting for healthier foods.
I have been doing this for quite a while now, just making better choices in picking my foods and Chris has been doing this with me. I see a big change in Chris, the man is wasting away, if he turns sideways you can hardly see him.

I know my meds make loosing weight a little harder for me but I have now lost well over 1 stone so yes I'm feeling rather proud. As I spend most of my days in stretchy leggings and tunic tops and long floating cardigans to hide my butt, it is difficult to see any changes, well at least that was until today, my top kept wrinkling on my chest and when I took off my cardigan I looked quite lost in my top (Big Grin) this could mean a whole new wardrobe shhhhhh!

so my surprised look is a happy surprised one indeed.

Pool Party

I had a day off from my blog yesterday partly because of my tired and grouchy post and partly because I had a play with some new goodies due to be released in September. Shhhhhh don’t tell anyone I told you.

So back on track again today with some summer fun.  This one is Pool Party by Mo’s Digital Pencil

Swimming was my passion when I was young, always on the school team and I was swimmer of the year and even had the opportunity to swim for the County.

I kept the card pretty simple and coloured it with Copic markers and used the Grosgrain ribbon from Ribbon Carousel as my embellishments

Promarker Blog Candy

Well as the Olympics came to a closure I thought it would be good to end the blog candy for Letraset Limited Edition ProMarker Autumn.

They consist of the most gorgeous colours too, so some lucky person is in for a real treat.

It will be something to enjoy now that the Olympics is finished although i think we should all get behind the Paralympics too. I only hope it gets the coverage it deserves.

I’ll be back later today with the winner of the markers so stay tuned.
