November Blog Hop with Mo's Dream Team thank you very much!

Yep, the penultimate hop of the year, here with us on Mo's Dream Team, with a great theme of Thank You chosen by our lovely Lou!  So, that is where you should have started the hop, otherwise you should have made your way here from Gretha's blog.

I've chosen Grace and The Owl for my card, such an adorable scene! I then just had to use this new die set from Marianne Designs - the Holly Wreath and little branches and cones!  Love it, and it comes with a little cardinal bird.  Full list of Marianne loveliness below:

Silver Selection Holly Wreath - CR1387

Distressed Edge Square - CR1375

Reindeer - LR0179

Paper - love this midnight blue tree scene!

You may also have noticed the little berries that I used - well they started like this, just little polystyrene balls that I bought years ago from a charity shop and really useful at this time of year for snow scenes and the like. The pic below is just a small portion that I put in a container for ease of use (I have bags of them!)

I then discovered by accident, when using a heat gun to do some embossing, that of course they melt!  But, I actually like they way the look after heating as they look a little more aged, natural if you know what I mean!

The main sentiment is Lili of The Valley which I stamped on to a bit of corrugated card to go with the rustic feel. 

Well now it's time to send you on to the blog of my lovely matey, Debby.

Here's the Blog Hop run in case you lost on the way......

A Spooky Halloween blog hop with Mo's Dream Team!!

I think Hold On To Your Hat has to be one of my all time favourite Mo images to colour, so I was very happy to use her for our Halloween Hop with Mo's Dream Team. This is the theme chosen by our lovely Debby and that is also where you should have started to hop.

My Promarkers were my trusted colouring medium, and then I've used some Recollection Halloween papers and taken some sentiments from the papers too. 

I'm the end of this month's hop, so I hope you've enjoyed it and been inspired by the team's gorgeously spooky creations. And, I also hope you've left a comment on each of the team posts as you could win one of two $5 vouchers to spend in Mo's store here.  The full order of the hop is below if you want to check you've visited  everyone!

Mushroom  House- COL1412

Just as well our them for this month's hop is babies, as chosen by our lovely Anneke and that is where you should also have started. Otherwise, I hope you hopped over to me from Gretha's blog!

I've chosen to use the delightful Morgan dressed up in her bear suit - just one of many uber-cute baby images from Mo!

I've coloured her with my Promarkers, and matched my colours to these fabulous First Edition, It's a Girl papers.

Winter is Coming! Well, our winter themed blog hop on Mo's Dream Team is!

Ha, I really wanted to say "you know nothing Jon Snow" after Winter is Coming (Game of Thrones reference for those who don't follow it!), and Winter is here on Mo's Dream Team Blog Hop as this is the theme chosen by our fabulous Gretha for this month's hop - and also your starting point.

I've used this adorable new image from Mo called Snowsuit which can be found here in Mo's Digital Pencil

I  coloured her with my Promarkers, to match my luvverly Marianne papers from the Scandinavian Winter pad. Of course I then had to use some luvverly new Marianne Design die cuts and stamps as follows:

Sentiment Stamp - Eline's Handlettering Christmas

SnowFlake Crescent - CR1345

Flowers - Eline's Hellebora's Die and Stamp set - COL1394

Mini Diamond Dazzlers

As you can see, I then went a bit mad with Aged Gold and Shabby White Frantage!

 Your next stop on the hop is over to my lovely  matey, Debby's blog with a fab make to share with you.  And, don't forget to leave a comment on each of the team's blog as you could win a $5 dollar voucher to spend in Mo's Store.

September Blog Hop with Mo's Dream Team - Anything But a Card!!

Yep, it's September, people, and the third Thursday in the month, which not only means that it's time for our monthly blog hop over on Mo's Dream Team, but also that Christmas is-a-coming!!   Kaly's blog is the beginning of the hop, and also  from where you should  have hopped to me!  I know that Kaly would have had something quite wonderful to share with you!

As our theme is Anything But a Card, I've gone with a little Christmas decoration using one of Mo's gorgeous Elf images from the dual image set, North Pole Employees - a firm favourite of mine for Christmas makes!

I cut some rosettes with a Tim Holtz Alteration Strip die, punched some holes in the bottom layer to dangle some jingle bells from and used an old cotton reel with some Baker's twine to make the base of my tree.  My little employee then topped my tree off!  Simples.  I did cut my rosettes slightly shorter each time (from Stampin Up Christmassy papers) to get cone shape for my tree.

I did struggle to get good pictures (probably shouldn't have left it until 10:00 at night to take them!!) You might just be able to make out the glitter on his fur trim and bauble on his hat. Otherwise, I coloured him with my Promarkers and a few Flexmarkers.

As you can see in this pic, I tried to stage it a bit with some pine cones but it proved too difficult to get a really good picture.  It's a liitle wonky too but I kinda like that!

Right, now it's time for me to send you on to the blog of my lovely  matey, Debby.  Don't forget to leave a comment on each post as you could be the lucky winner of a $5 dollar voucher to spend in Mo's Digital Pencil!

Happy Hopping!!

August Blog Hop at Mo's Digital Pencil - Teenagers is our theme.

We're hopping today at Mo's Dream Team and our theme of Teenagers has been chosen by our lovely Anneke which is also where you should  have started from.  Otherwise you should have hopped over to me from Gretha's blog where she has shared something amazing with you I'm sure!

For my teen card I've used Teen Witch dreaming of her latest crush instead of sweeping up those cobwebs!! You can find Teen Witch here and her dreamboat, Come Hither, here.

My papers are from a Recollections 12x12 pad and the frame is cut with a Spellbinders die, and then I used lots of Memory Box spider's web dies and a Lili of the Valley sentiment.

A couple of close ups of Teen Witch and her love interest!

And a sideways view! 

Your next stop on the hop is over to my fab friend, Debby's blog - don't forget to leave a comment on each of the team posts as you could win a lovely $5 voucher to spend online in Mo's Digital Pencil. The full list of the hop is below should you need it!

June Hop with Mo's Dream Team - It's Summer!!

Well, here we are in the middle of June, middle of the year, and should be in the middle of Summer here in the UK!  I'm not quite feeling the summer vibes so it's a good job we're injecting some Summer Fun into our cards for this month's blog hop.  It could be a summer image, summer colours or summer activities that you will see on the hop.  The theme this month was chosen by our lovely Alice and this is where you should have started.  Otherwise, hopefully you have hopped over to me from our gorgeous Gretha's blog and I know that both ladies would have had some awesome makes to share with you.  The full order of the hop is below if you need it.

  Alice,Vili, Anneke, Kaly,Gretha, Julie, Debby, Heidy

On to my card, and I've gone with summer colours of bright oranges and peaches to showcase one of Mo's wonderful new images, Flower Jar.  I just love flowers in jars, so simple and yet so pretty and charming.

My papers are from Marianne Design and come from the Shabby Chic set - PK9121 and Old Press set PK9120.  I've also used a Marianne Design die for my window - Snowy Window CR1286 (without the snow, obviously!)  All these Marianne Design items are in stock right now here at Maddylisa Crafts.

The teeny jar sentiment and tag are from Stampin Up and the larger sentiment is from a Hero Arts set ( I believe) and stamped onto a Magnolia Doohickey tag die-cut. 

My other bits and pieces are from stash.  

Your next stop on the hop is over to my lovely friend, Debby's blog to see her wonderful make.

And while you're hopping, remember to leave a comment on each of the posts as you could be the lucky winner of one of two $5 vouchers to spend in Mo's Digital Pencil

We're Hopping at Mo's!

Yes, can you believe that it's already the third Thursday in the month of April - I can't!!  But it is which means it's time for our monthly blog hop with Mo's Dream Team with a great theme of flowers as chosen by our lovely Debby - hopefully, this is where you started.

I've used the gorgeous Baby Fairy Flora which you can find here in Mo's Digital Pencil.

My papers are from Maya road with the flowers from my stash (mostly purchased from Wild Orchid Crafts) and the little label/stamp combo coming from Stampin Up. 

Now I'm the end of the hop this month, so thank you all for joining us!  I hope that you've remembered to leave a comment on each post in the hop as you could be the lucky winner of a $5 dollar voucher to spend in Mo's Digital Pencil.

Big Hugs, Juliexx

Mo Blog Hop - It's all about the Fairies!

It's the third Thursday in the month already which means it's time for our monthly blog hop with Mo's Dream Team.  This month's theme has been chosen by our awesome  Alexandra and that is Fairies! Alexandra is the start of the hop so pop on back there if you want to join in our hop.  Otherwise, you should hopefully have arrived from the lovely Gretha's blog.

  Mo has a wealth of fairies in her digital store so we were spoilt for choice.  I've actually used a series of new images which haven't yet been released into the store and they are Fairy Snowmen - how  cute!!

The only one I've not used from the series is the one holding our snowy friend's head but couldn't quite fit that into my design!

I added the friend sentiment from LOTV into the middle of the biggest snowball - I like the idea that they are actually making the snowman/their new friend!

As you can see, I've gone to town again with my frantage - below is a little close up of this on the die-cut SNOW ( a die from PTI) and the icicle edging ( which is actually a 'goo' punch from Martha Stewart!).

A close up below of our gorgeous Fairy Snowman all finished below.

And a final pic of my finished card.

Your next stop on the hop is to our lovely Debby but the full order is below should you need it.

Alexandra, Anneke, Kaly, Gretha, Julie, Debby, Alice,Vili.

As always, there are two $5 gift vouchers to spend in Mo's shop hidden along the way so don't forget to comment on each of my teamie's blogs as the lucky commentor could be you. 
Have fun hopping!!
