Miss May for Mo's Dream Team

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!

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.

Norma said...

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.
