WISH UPON A STAR

Morning everyone

This morning I have another card I made a little while ago.  I have used this lovely star template from Dutch Doobadoo (available from Noor Designs UK) so much this Christmas.  I just love it!  The dies are Joy dies and again available from Noor Designs UK, as is the structure paste.  

The image is a Hobby House topper and the image was created by Mo Manning.  Cute eh!

The embellishments came from Live and Love Crafts and from my stash.

Thanks for looking today,

MO MANNING -Hobby House Topper

Hi everyone,

Well, I am here today with another card using a Mo Manning image.  This time it is in the form of a Hobby House Topper.

The papers are from Kraftyhands, and the dies are Noor Designs UK and Cheery Lynn.   The embellishments of course came from Live and Love Crafts and from my stash.

Thanks for looking,

MO MANNING - a CHEEKY KISS

Hi everyone,


Aha, something a little different today for me to share.  I fell in love with this image from Mo's pencil the minute I saw it.  And I loved colouring it up.  Have you noticed - no dies?  That was hard!

The papers are from LOTV, the embellishments and Frantage came from  Live and Love Crafts, the lovely Guipure lace was purchased locally and I delved into my stash for anything else.

HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER - Mo Manning

Morning all,

 

Here I have a card to share which I made simply ages ago, probably at the early part of the year.  I had a change from my usual lovely square shape and went for a 7 x 5inch card.

I was using up my stash again.  The topper was created by Mo Manning.  This one is in the form o fa Hobby House Topper so pre coloured and the roses were from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 

Thank you so much for looking.  

Have a lovely day,

HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER - Mo Manning

Morning all,

 

Well, I still have a few saved photos left to share and someof these are getting a little more up to date with ones I have made recently.  This card I think I made a couple of months ago.

I see I have several cards made using the lovely Hobby House Toppers.  They really are lovely and a quicker way than stamping and colouring so ideal for a quicker make.  This image was created by Mo manning, it is one of my favourites.

The RosetteRibbon and white Shabby ribbon are from Live and Love Crafts and everything else came from my stash pile.

 

Thank you so much for looking.  

Have a lovely day,

MO'S DIGITAL HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER

Hi everyone

I am here this morning to share a card I made a little while ago using this lovely Hobby House Topper created by Mo Manning.  I chose Lace and pearls for my embellishments, and again a slightly different style to the normal square. 

I hope your weekend is going well and as always, thanks for looking

BABY CARD AND CO-ORDINATING GIFT BAG

Hi everyone,

Tonight I am here to share a card and co-ordinating Gift Bag I made following this lovely Sketch for the Challenge at Shabby Tearoom




I turned the Sketch around, and followed the Sketch to the inside of the card.  The front does follow the sketch but the embellishments have covered it, but the card bag is followed to the Sketch too and this is easier to see.  It is a bit photo heavy I am afraid:

 I used a Mo Manning image but everything else is very much from my stash.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thank you for looking,

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter everyone!

Easter Saturday and at last we have a little sunshine.  For how long I do not know, but we will savour it whilst it lasts.  I don't mind it being cold if the sun is shining!

Today I have a card to share which I have made using another of the lovely Hobby House Toppers bearing the image created by mo Manning.

I opted to make a pocket card this time, and chose one of my favourite colours - PINK. I love pink for cards, as many of you may know, but you know it is a colour I very rarely wear.
