Blog Hop of the Month–Clean and Simple

 

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 CAS (Clean and Simple)and Jane is our host and that is where the blog hop begins.

You should have landed here from Pops blog.

I used Miki’s Puppies digi image from Mo’s Digital Pencil for my project.

The Corners of the image were punched with a EK Success corner punch.

It is always a challenge not to keep adding bits to your card minimalistic is the key to CAS cards.

The snow was made with a sharpie paint pen from Ribbon Carousel 

Next up is Gretha and I know she’ll have something amazing to show you.

Don't forget to leave comments along the way as there is a couple of spot prizes on comments left

The blog hop order if you get lost is Jane, Julie, Debby.Y, Heidy, Alice, Debbie, Mina, Pops, Jak, Gretha, Kerttu

Time for Tea–Die-Namics

I can think of so very many people who I could give this card to, perfect for the Tea lover, me included. Strong with a threat of milk please.

I used a die from Die-Namics called Time for Tea. It was a bit like playing Mother when you are little, loads of little play things like a spoon (I love the spoon), teapot, cup and saucer, tea-bag, just love it.

I added the steam lines to the cup to make that it had been freshly poured.

Oh yes and the spoon (love that spoon), I popped one inside the teacup and this one I tied the ribbon around it and the teabag, ribbon and twine from Ribbon Carousel.

Do you want to come and play tea parties with me?

Our Little King

Jack had his first Nativity play and carol service at nursery on Friday and he sang and bobbed away when the music started, we were supposed to be going to it but Granddad got called into work. Jack mam captured the moment on video for us and sent us this picture of him dressed up. I think it is maybe just as well that we didn’t get there as I’d have bawled all the way through it.

King Jack.

Isn’t he simply gorgeous?

Good Witch

I thought as it is Pantomime season I would get to work on a good witch to get in the spirit of things. Ohh “it’s behind you” not really, it’s below

Teen Witch is so beautiful I wanted to give it a whirl, it is a Mo’s Digital Pencil image.

I coloured her with Prisma pencils and Copic markers.

I used the crushed ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and a bit of twin to tie on the birdcage charm.

Papers are from a Basic Grey paper pad.

Are any of you going to a Pantomime this year? I’m hoping that by next year our Grandson Jack will be ready to sit through one.

Card Drive–Give Your Support

I think we all hold a thought for parents and families of those that lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut, such a terrible thing to happen, lets see if we can show our support and send our condolences to those that need it.

 

Eskimo Kiss

Have you seen the snowman advert yet where he treks out to buy his girlfriend a Christmas gift? well here is the sequel as these two are totally in love.

I embossed the  Tim Holtz Snowman in the background using the Cuttlebug and added a bit of love and two pins to finish.

Office Party

We all went out for a Christmas dinner yesterday, it was brilliant, we don't get much time to socialise but our boss took us all to dinner oh yes including my wonderful man Chris.

It has been a very busy year and it was lovely to finish it off with a meal and a good old chin wag.

I did a panoramic photo of the motley crew after stuffing their faces.

If you click on it you will get a closer view.

Two likely lads, Chris my other half and Jim our Artist

myself and Jonathan, our IT wizzkid.

All in all we had a lovely time.
