Mo's Christmas Fairy Holly

I'm a renowned Christmas tragic and I also love fairies so this gorgeous image of Mo's has been a favourite of mine since I first saw her over a year ago - her name is Christmas Fairy Holly. The green and white striped DP I've used has a soft flocked texture to it and I just couldn't cover too much of it up as it feels pretty cool - LOL. It's also fabulous contrast to the red and creates a fun and festive look. The chipboard sentiment is from Scrapmatts.

Lace and Pearls in La La Land

It's Time to Celebrate

Yay I FINALLY got my card finished with the fabulous freebie (for the 27th September only) specially drawn for Zoe's birthday by Barbara of Little Miss Muffet Stamps. If you want to find out HOW you can grab her for yourself and WHY she's a freebie for today only then scroll down to my post below.

Hatter Zoe started off as a fairly proper little Miss but then I had some fun adding some "Zoe elements" to her and she turned out rather shabby chic. What is a "Zoe element" you may ask - well the white edges painted onto the Kraft and the use of the muslin are things I have "explored" with Zoe during crafting times and they remind me of her.

It's a Western Challenge at Sparkle Creations

This week there's a new challenge starting over at Sparkle's Creations - it's a Western theme and I just couldn't go past colouring up Cowboy Josh. I decided to have a bit of fun with him and blobbed on some dark grey to give him cow hide chaps - the perfect job for someone of my limited drawing skills - LOL.

The saloon doors were cut with my Cameo - a fun backdrop for this little cutie - although I'm sure he's only ever ventured into the Saloon for some milk and cookies!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the gorgeous DT inspiration at the SCRSC Blog.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #165

This week at  Magnolia Down Under Challenges we're asking you to create using White on White - although you can use colour for your image. White on white is all about dimension and texture to give definition to the different elements.

I started with an embossed background and layered up 3 gazebos I cut using my silhouette cameo. The centre of the gazebo is spaced further apart than the sides to add more dimension. Some lace and pearls add more texture to the gazebo. I also used two Magnolia dies - the tree and the poinsettia. Some punched leaves add a bit more texture.

Check out what the rest of our fabulous DT have created to inspire you on our BLOG

Mo's Dream Team Blog Hop

This month Mo's Dream Team are hopping along to the theme "School" as chosen by our hostess with the mostest this month - the wonderful Jak. If you want to start at the beginning of the hop then Jak's BLOG is where you want to be!

For my card I decided to go the High School route as my kids are a little older. I was inspired by my daughter's recent FB post "Sit outside in the beautiful sunshine or go to a tax lecture? What to do, what to do..."  - LOL. I chose one of the three teen images from the fabulous Dani and Friends set. I hand wrote the title of the book to tie into the study theme - but she doesn't look like she's studying much history does she - LOL.

Your next stop on the hop is the always learned Miss Mina.

And here's the blog hop order in case you get lost along the way - the links are on my left sidebar under Mo's logo-

Jak, Gretha, Kerttu, Jane, Julie, Debby.Y, Heidy, Alice, Debbie, Mina, Pops

Tickled Pink Stamps is Sponsoring Cupcake Craft Challenges

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is proudly sponsoring Cupcake Craft Challenges where the theme is "Script and Gold". I used Lil Christmas Pinkette Pippa on my card - I've had her sitting all coloured up for a while now and thought since I was starting my Christmas cards it was time she came out to play!

This is soooo sparkly IRL with the frame cut from green glittered cardstock and the sentiment embossed with glittery gold powder. And with this lushly ornate Spellbinders frame my card really needs little extra embellishing.

Another Make it Crafty Angel

I just love the new angels from Make it Crafty with their chubby little cheeks and beautiful expressions. I've paired this cutie with a kraft doily I die cut and some fabulous Make it Crafty chipboard - I just love the dimension they add to any project. The touches of white "paint" add a fabulous distressed look to the chipboard too - and it all co-ordinates well with the ragged muslin and distressed edges.
