Hi everyone!!

Did you all see the new releases magically pinging into the shop at the minute?? oh my!! Maurie has definitely been visited by her Mojo Fairy Godmother and to celebrate I just had to colour up the new Godmother image!!

She comes with this super neat sentiment too so all I needed to do was add some Lou magic to her!!

She is so much more blingy IRL but getting pictures of blingy still eludes me after all these years of using sparkly stuffs!! 

Scott and Mo are out fetching some pipe to make a blowpipe for mo!! we are just eeking out the last little bits of half term fun!!

Right, I am magically pinging off now!! the kettle is a calling me!!

Thank you for popping in!!

Hi everyone! I'm back with post number 2 for the day!! 

Its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog .This weeks challenge challenge  has been set by Marie and she has given us the theme of..

“come fly with me”  

Marie would like you to use an image that can fly such as a fairy, bug, aeroplane, bird etc.  Sounds like fun doesn’t it!!  

Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies and they are offering one lucky winner a prize of a $12.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

So for my make I decided to prove that super hero's are not just for boys and made a super card for a girl. I love this image, it just makes me smile whenever I print it out!!
I coloured it up (....in super hero chick time as I forgot it was team 1 posting today!!) and then got my cardbase together (..you have never seen me trim so quick!!!!!!).

For the sentiment I mader one up in word and printed it right onto the tag by glueing the tab over the printed out sentiment paper and printing again...I love doing that!! he he he!

Right, got to go, bed linen to hang out while its sunny!!

Challenge #158....Take it Easel-y!!

Stamp-  Ellie Says Bye clear stamp set.

Dies- Die Namics Blueprints 9.

Memory Box Puffy Clouds.

Morning all!! its that Tiddly Tuesday time of the week again and this time the Tiddly Inkers thought we would add some dimension the challenge makes, its so much fun to give them a little stage to play on!!  the next challenge is...

Take it Easel-y!.

Grab your favourite Tiddly Inks stamp or digital image and peek in on this tutorial..

there's so many styles of easel card to choose from!!

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 

but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image to be eligible for the prize**)

I was in a Tiddly Clear Stamp mood so I grabbed Ellie Says Bye out of my little (...ok,ok so little is a fib, my tiddly stamp collection is huge!!) and went for a different easel shape using my Die namics Blueprints 9 for the base.

The top layer of the easel is actually a cute tag pocket (all the dies to make it so come in the blueprints 9 set) . To give Ellie a squidge more 'pop factor' I adhered her on with hot glue and added a few super cute puffy little clouds to her balloon so she looks like she is floating through them.

I decided to have a creative change on the holdy up part (..big technical words there hey??!!) and popped the little trio of clouds up on some hot glue so when the easel part is open, it just sits behind them! its soo cute!

So its school holidays today!! wohoooooooooooo!!! and we are vegging! Mo is still in his pj's and Poppy and Dash have had a walk with Daddy so they are snoozling (..its a hard life being a pooch and walking and eating breakfast...phew...they needed to rest after that!! lol!!!)

I'll be back soon with my PFP challenge card, its another Tiddly make (...and yes...I totally forgot it was team 1 posting and had to make a card in like 10 mins!! but its sooo cute anyways!!!)

Thank you for popping in

Hi everyone! its my turn to post over in the clubhouse today and i just could not resist this gorgeous new image from Mo's Digital Pencil, Summer Love.

Little Mo's Big Bike Ride..

in the school bike shed after he arrived.

Well, I just don't know where to begin with this post! I am so emotional I don't know whether to laugh or cry (...actually we have had a bit of a blubber here since we got home!! yes...dafty parents are us!!!) but we are so so very proud!.

The little guy was very nervous last night after having his photo taken by the local newspaper and so nervous when he got up this morning but he ate his marmite on toast, drank his warm milk and was soon on task (..the fact that mummy gave him a mini packet of refresher fizzy sweeties might of helped too....!!)

At 7:30am he got on his little BMX (...yes...a BMX...no gears or fancy light frame..a bulky BMX!!) waved to his friends who were watching him go out of the window and just kept pedaling!! he was truly an inspiration. 9.2 miles of little Mo pedal power!!!

He fell off once and after a little cry and rub of the sore bottom where he landed on his bike frame, he was up and going again. ( that in itself is amazing because normally he would refuse to go back on something that has hurt him). Other than when he fell, I don't think he stopped singing, chatting or smiling once!! he wanted his photo taking with every new village sign on his way!!!

And that big hill he was frightened of....was big! and scary but he took it slow with his brakes on and he conquered it! He even made it to school on time!! this photo was taken by daddy when Mo was half way down the hill!! he had already conquered the part he was most worried about!!

and his little flag...it made it all the way on the ride with all the names of the gorgeous people who had donated before we left home and is now pootling around school with Mo because he wouldn't let go of it!!!

Thank you for popping in on me! off to rub some deep heat into my bum and back now!!! lol!!

Wryn Graduate- Go great places!!!

Graduation Cap file - Silhouette store.

Hi everyone!

Well I am sat in waiting for Little Mo's camera to come so I thought I would make a little something with the gorgeous new Wryn Graduate- Go great places image. Oh she's too cute!!

I bought this hat file a couple of weeks ago in the sil store and couldn't think what to do with it until this cutie appeared in my inbox from Da Boss and I knew right away what I fancied doing!!

I printed a teensy one out too so that I could pop it inside the card. The little hat is only 2.5" square!!

Then all I had to do was glue my gorgeous big wryn to the hat base!!

Right got to go!!

Tale of a tail....

Tale of a tail Wryn from the clearwater fundraiser.

Background- Map my Life! from Tiddly Inks.

Morning all!!

How are you all this morning? we had a super duper busy day yesterday sorting a few bits out for home and then I fell asleep with Mo again!! lol!! so I had to blog this as soon as I got the big pooter on this morning!!!

Alyce over at Kit and Clowder is having a big fundraising celebration party this weekend and in all the party goodness there is a little fundraiser just for Clearwater Marine Aqaurium where winter the dolphin lives. Just look at this!!!

Now, the little man in our house has been obsessed with Winter ever since he saw Dolphin Tale and often pops in to watch her on what he calls Wintercam!!! so obviously when it came to the donation options, he wanted to get all 3 so he could give as many pennies as he wanted for the aquarium.

Of course, my absolute favourite was the little wryn Tale of a tail image drawn by Christy Croll from Tiddly Inks. I used the .png version so that I could add her onto Christy's awesome Map My Life! paper, its just perfect for a sea and mermaid theme so I just had to use it!!

Then it was just a case of adding a few die cuts and some of mine and little Mo's mini sea shell stash from the beach!! we LOVE collecting these teeeny shells in summer walks along the shoreline. He always goes for the teeny ones because he thinks they are more magical and I have to agree!!

Right, go to get a shifty on!! tonnes of ironing to do and a bit more tidying while Scott gets to work boxing the boiler in after all our disasters this week!!

Simon....

Papers-Teen Angst from We are memory makers.

Morning all!!

I am having a bit of a Golden Oldie post for my make over on the Clubhouse Blog today but don't worry peeps!! even though my Simon I used is a stampavie stamp and no longer in production, Simon is a digital over in Mo's Digital Pencil shop so phew!!!!!

I had so much fun making this yesterday and the sentiment is a funny one because its what my little Mo says all the time at the minute for something that is great!! its too funny though because this stamp is from a baby set I have!! lol!!!

Then of course it just needed some cool papers to go with it (...the day I run out of these Teen Angst papers will be a sad sad day!!!).

Right! I am off to get a load of laundry in the machine, attack the ironing pile and walk the dogs!! Have a fabalicious day everyone!
