If you didn't come here from Maria's Blog, you might want to hop to the beginning to Jak's Blog not to miss all the AMAZINGNESS on the offer!
Zoe from Make it Crafty and Mo from Mo’s Digital Pencil, came together to share the delight and fun of The Carnival. To celebrate - the two fabulously talented teams have come together for a massive blog hop to offer you plenty of inspiration when playing with these images.
Along the way you will find balloons with a letter in them. Write down the letters as you go because at the very end we want you to guess what the saying is!
There will be THREE grand prizes randomly drawn from the correct answers PLUS there will be hidden prizes along the way so make sure you leave some love as you hop along!
Now we know this is a super big hop, but we wanted to make sure you would get LOTS of inspiration! The hop will be open until the 28thApril so you will have plenty of time to come back each day with a cuppa to soak it all up! (Just don’t lose the letters you have been collecting!)
We would like to thank our fabulous sponsors, Mo’s Digital Pencil, Make it Crafty, Stamping Bella and Quixotic Paperie for providing the fabulous prizes for this grand carnival hop!
And here's my humble contribution featuring Aunt Flo and Candy Cart!
The story goes like that - aunt Flo arrives with a transatlantic flight to visit her young relatives only to find them gone gallivanting on the carnival. Disgruntled, aunt Flo gets the cab to drop her on spot to find and disinherit the ungrateful lot.
See, the dog is nervous NOT because she is afraid of her mistress, just traumatized from the long flight.
Colouring is Copics with a generous application of Sakura stardust pens. The swirls are from Make It Crafty. Flowers made myself of fabric and lace.
The papers are from Cosmo Cricket Togetherness pad.
I LIKE that card. Well, I like Aunt Flo with her daring fashion choices and grumpy attitude. One day I hope to be just like her.
And here is my balloon!
In case you're having trouble seeing the image, the letter is "L".
Make sure you leave a comment for a ‘possible’ chance at winning some hidden treasure!
Mo also has an image on offer for ONE DOLLAR for the duration of the blog hop so hurry and snag it!
And now shoo-shoo, hop on to Leah's blog - you do not want to miss her creation!

leuk met tante flo . ik was er ook erg verliefd op de digi stempel super . jannie
Wonderful card.By the look on Aunt Flo's face,destiny has put her in the right place, as I am sure that an hour or two at the carnival may do her the world of good,and take her mind off the run away relatives.I mean, you couldn't blame them.Carnival or Aunt Flo!!!!I know which one I would choose.
