Mo's Dream Team Blog Hop


Hi everyone - don't you just LOVE the 3rd Thursday of the month??? I know I do because it's Mo's Dream Team blog hop time - and it's always a lot of fun to get together with the rest of the team for a play! And you guys get a chance to win one of 2 $5 vouchers for Mo's store - the winners will be randomly chosen from comments left along the way.

This month our gorgeous and talented hostess is Alice - and she's asked us to make an easel card! Alice's blog is the start of all the fun and I'm second on the list so you don't have too far to pop back if you've just popped in here for a visit!

The image I've used is one Mo gave out on her FB page and was used for a little competition she ran - but she's available now in Mo's store HERE. Her name is Trudy and she comes with her cute party dress - it has tabs so you could make her into a dress-up doll if you like. Being a digi means you can have a whole heap of fun though - so I enlarged the dress and printed it off onto some DP. I then used it as the backdrop for my easel card and ended up creating a card for a seamstress friend of mine. The fabulous lasercut chipboard pieces from Make it Crafty were a perfect embellishment and pulled everything together well.

I found a poem on the internet and used it for the base of my sentiment - just adjusting it slightly to suit my needs  - it reads.....

That needle poking to and fro
Means so much more than you may know
For each garment she makes from the start
Contains a small piece of her heart

Now it's time to keep on hop, hop, hopping and hop on over to the ever amazing Mina's blog. And remember there is always fabulous new inspiration for all over at our blog HERE.

Here's the full hop list if you get lost along the way - you'll find all the links on my left sidebar under Mo's logo....

  39. OMGoodness Debbie! I love, love your card! My Mom sews dolls clothes for dolls that she had back in the 40's & 50's. She sells them to other woman on eBay and they all just love her creations. Your card reminds me of my Mom so much as the dolls tend to look like your card and she does put a piece of herself into every little dress/panties and everything else. I love your card and I just had to let you know. Hugs, Lisa G
    PS. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to send my Mom a link to this. She is going to be blown away. Hugs again, Lisa
