Hi Guys!
This is a long post so grab some potato chips, ok?
Clowns,Cotton Candy, sticky fingers, hyper kids , blue tongues and sore feet .. Where are we?
THE CARNIVAL!!
THE CARNIVAL!!
Hopefully you have just hopped on over from ‘Lisa.
If you just popped on by to say hey and want to join us on the super carnival hop then you’ll want to ‘START HERE’
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 28th April 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 Quioxtic Paperie for providing the fabulous prizes for this grand carnival hop!

Now to the card! I paired a background from make it crafty with Mo's Fat Lady which I merged on Paint.net (directions for merging can be found in my tutorial section) and colored everything with prismacolors. Fabulous fun! I paperpieced the fat lady's clothes and I swear that the polkadot placement was unintentional. lol
The ticket stubs are digital stamps from Raindrop Echo Designs.
The sentiment was my own just printed on the PC. Its a common expression down South where I live "Just put on your big girl pants and deal with it". lol I thought it fit.Literally. :-)
So have you found my letter????? Its a T :-)
OK! So make sure you leave some lovin along the way for a chance to win!
Your next stop along the way is Lydia who I happen to know for a fact has some awesome eye candy for you!
But before you go and while I have your attention, I do have your attention right? If not , focus, I'm a talkin to you! lol I have something else to share!! Take a look:
Yesireebob! A new $1 image, all proceeds going to charity. You can purchase it here. And how cute is this sweetie!
I showed my daughter the new image and she said, "Oh what is it? A tornado? Oh! Its cotton candy!" lol The poor thing has had tornados on the mind, but it does kinda look....nevermind!
I pulled a card together using the new image just to whet you alls appetite.
Why BLUE cotton candy??
Well, for one I was feeling in a contrary mood. Thus the pink sky as well. (It is the end of the day though, so the sun is setting....) Also , I got to thinking and it seems to me that kids generally choose the colors that cause the most neurological damage. And what color can be worse than blue?
A sentiment that I created in word.
Below, is the sentiment for your taking. You can just click, right click and save.
Or, you can go to the " free sentiments" box on my sidebar which will take you to flickr and you can download any size.

Hi, Dorcas! When I saw your name on the list, I knew your project would be out of this world and I'm not one bit disappointed! I even love the accidentally strategic placement of the polka dots on the dress! Hahaha! I got a kick outta that one! Fantastic coloring job as always.

I love your pastel candy colour schemes and the fact you went with blue candy floss - I would probably be that contrary too

Oh wowee, these are so stunning! I particularly like the switched colours on the cotton candy, very, very clever!
The fat lady dot placement made me giggle, infact I didnt think anything naughty until you mentioned it hehehe! :D xxx
Hi, sweetie,
Just got back from my Easter holidays in the mountains and thought I should pop in marvel at these amzing creations you talented ladies came up with. I've seen lots of beauties on the way and was not surprised at all knowing the work of each and every one of you. You girls rock!
Now, onto your card/s here. I don't exactly know the right idiom but I guess you will figure out- I really laughed my brains off watching your spevctacular fat lady card here. She looks awesome and I just love the way she covers half of the tent with her "whale" body.
Great paper-pieceing work- of course those spots are randomly chosen especially when it comes to a digital stamps:))- and your sentiment is always so perfectly chosen.
Your second card is simply beautiful and your coloring just amazing!
Great work , Dorcas, it's always a pleasure to come by!
Have a great happy day!
Hugs, Iulia
TOO FUNNY - love them both. My kids actually prefer the blue cotton candy, and I love your pink sky. :)
Very nice card, soft colours, but also colourful!
Hugs, Henny
Love the paper piecing! Great card. Thanks for the hop.
Very beautiful cards!
Funny lady!
What amazing eye candy.... TFS!
Oh wow, just love your cards!! Love the big girl pants and the candy floss is such a sweetie :-)
