Boy did I get some exciting news last week - I got chosen to be a part of Mo Manning's Dream Team for the month of May - that's right - I'm Miss May - wooohooooo. Of course I was going to go ALL out and make myself a sash and parade around all month wearing it - but my kids wouldn't let me - Kill Joys!!! I have been a HUGE fan of Mo's images ever since my friend Kellie introduced me to them at Stamp Camp last year. I have addictions to some stamp companies, and these cuties are one of them.
I really wanted to celebrate being chosen as Miss May and thought of all the times I enjoy celebrating. Christmas HAS to be the top of my list - it's Summer here in Australia, it's a time for everyone to celebrate and I get to deck my house out in all it's Christmas glory - it only takes me 3 days to unpack the boxes and put everything out - haven't figured out WHY it's takes a week to put it all away after?!?!?!
So I made my first Christmas card of the year to start the celebrations....isn't this little guy the cutest - his name is Sticky - watch those fingers on your furniture - LOL!!! I've had him for a while but he missed out on last Christmas - so it's only fair he helps me celebrate now! You can find him at Mo's store HERE.
Once again I've used my Martha Stewart border punch to frame my image - check out Norma's amazing tutorial on how to do this HERE - simple and yet FABULOUS! The DP is from Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding range. The candy cane has been covered is sparkle using my clear spica pen - it looks great IRL.
Once again THANX to Mo's Dream Team for having me along for the ride this month!

Congratulations Miss May, fantastic news! So love your creations using Mo's images and Sticky is no exception! I love Christmas too, not the same though when it is 30 odd degrees. Take CareX:)

Hi Debbie,
thought I would let you know I nominated you for an award. You probably don't do the blog award thing anymore but I thought I would let you know because you are always an inspiration to me.

Gorgeous card Debbie, he is adorable and makes me want candy canes now :) your bows and flowers are stunning and I love your colouring, you have really brought him to life. I think you should definitely go for the sash, and a sparkly bikini, go all out girl!!
Congratulations MISS MAY. Well, they just figured out over at Mo's what we fans of your cards knew all along, you should be on the DT!! So excited for you and what a start to the Month. This little elf is so darn cute and your coloring as always is awesome. They are lucky to have you and you will do an outstanding job for them! Now, the heck with the kids, wear the sash and dance around!!!

Hi Miss May! What? No photo of you in your swim suit? lol! Your card is fabulous, as always!
Well, I do declare, "Miss Mo May", is such a well deserved honor! You've done them proud with this first masterpiece of a card. Love your coloring and all the great embelishments. That punched border couldn't be more perfect. I still have to try that tutorial myself. Can't wait to see what's in store for your peeps next:))
Ooo, super CUTE Debbie *Ü* Love your gorgeous coloring! Good for you getting a start on Christmas cards!! I soo need to catch up this summer so I can send them out the first of Dec instead of AFTER Christmas like this year! LOL
Congratulations Miss May. You soo deserved to be part of the Mo Manning Dream Team, even if for only one month.
Love your card, it is OH SO CUTE. You must show me how you did the border.

Congratulations Miss May!!!! I love this card. Thanks for the link to the tutorial too.
Aha, wasn't I right that they would pick you! It would be the biggest crime in the world if they didn't. BIG BIG congrats! I'm tickled pink for you as I know how you love Mo's images. And as you've once again illustrated with this card, her image comes alive under your talented and skillful hands.
Hugs.
Norma
