Morning everyone!! 

its wedding season! wohoooo!! and I had a couple of cards to make so I headed straight for the gorgeous 'I do' from the shop! I love these stamps, they are such an easy and fun stam to colour up.

I coloured them up with my promarkers and the cut them out so I could pop them up a little from the card base on some foam.

The sentiment comes with them and I stamped that onto a little label cut from the Fishtail layers stax and curled the end around my finger to make it all 'flaggy' !!! I added a little enamel dot to it. I love those too! they are fab!!

I am super duper excited because my step mum and baby sister are coming home for a while from the seychelles and will be there too, I can't wait! sadly dad can't come this time but I haven't seen my stepmum since they left for the seychelles so I cannot wait to give her a real snuggle instead of a cyber one!! and Mo will be meeting her in person for the first time ever! he cannot wait to give his grandma a squoosh! 

Isn't Benji just the cutest little guy ever?! he is perfect for my nephew too, he is growing sooo much and is a clever little dude too as he is trying to pull himself up already!! go Ty!!

Download- Winter Wedding from Funky Hand.

Morning Peeps!

I have an exciting share this morning! I have been itching to get these makes on my blog this weekend and this morning I have buckled in to the temptation!!

There are some new downloads hopefully going into the Funky Hand shop today and they are fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them and set myself a challenge for a couple of non- weddingy makes too!!

So the top one just had to be a wedding card with those gorgeous hearts. I cut 2 triangles and the glued them onto my card and added a row of teeny punched flowers down the  join with some teeny blue gems in the centre. The sentiments are cut from another paper in the collection, I snipped them out and then inked around the edge. This card is a cute one at 4x4 size.

Download- Summer Wedding from Funky Hand

Flower cake digi from Funky Hand

this one above uses the new Summer Wedding download and I enlisted the help of the gorgeous flower cake digi for this one too! I coloured it up using my promarkers  and a good old distress and rippy feeling came over me for this one but I love the way it turned out.

 Download- Autumn Wedding from Funky Hand.

Beer Tankard digi from colour me Happy cd rom.

and I got manly on this one!! I used the beer tankard digi and coloured it up with my promarkers and then added some woodware fluffy stuff to get a good head on my beer!!

So that's me for this morning!! keep checking in the shop to see when they go in because its going to be sometime today!!

Have an awesome day peeps, we had planned to go to the beach but its cold and grey here so far so there might have to be a change of plan!!

A little bit of Lou time....!!

Stamp- Looking Glass from LOTV.

Sentiment-Set 23 Girlie Banners from LOTV.

Doily die- Summer Doily from crafty sentiments.

Morning peeps!!!

I love Saturdays!! Saturdays means family time and its also what I call my Little bit of Lou time day- that's the day when I crafty just whatever I fancy!!! and I LOVE it.

So I got totally spoilt on my birthday as you know and this little card has got some of the gorgeous yummies that my bestie sent me for my birthday on it. I am so blessed to have her and she always knows just what to send to make my day awesome.

I wanted to play along with the new challenge over on the LOTV ideas to inspire blog that is to use a sentiment so I tucked that gorgeous scroll in at the top, it just slips under the doily so sweetly, I love it.

I am popping her in the challenge over on the new Creative Romance challenge blog too as thats Anything goes.

I masked off the bottom of my Looking Glass stamp so she would fit snug on that gorgeous doily  and then played around inking the edges of the doily with tattered rose and vintage photo ink, added some yummy blue lace and a string of pearls,spritzed up a big white flower with some blue crafty notions spray and then tucked in some pink roses and then coloured some teeny white roses with my sandstone promarker to get them all to match it. I so LOOOOOVE me some Lou time!!!

right got to scoot, we are going to treat ourselves to a little chippy shop dinner for a treat for Mo. I have saved up all my weeks Weight watchers extra pro points to get a mini chips,fishcake and mushy peas from my friends chip shop, it is by far the best one in Lincoln (the Fish King on the forum, North Hykeham) so if you ever come to Lincoln you know where to go for your chips now!!!! then we are going to take Poppy out for a lovely run on the common ....so I can walk off the chippies.....:)

I'll be bloggy wombling later when we get back so huge hugs for you all and I'll see you all later!!!

I'm back peeps!! wohooooooo!! 4 and a half lbs off at weight watchers this week! I am sooo happy!!! 

Onto this week’s challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog which has been set by Vicky from Team 1 and she has chosen

 “all that glitters” 

A nice easy one again this week, Vicky would like to seem some glitter i.e. glitter glue, stickles, glittery paper, glittery ribbon etc on your cards.    Don’t forget you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our generous sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a Flex Marker Collectors set of pens (colours may vary from pic).

                

I was so excited to make this card because I used my awesome new Silhouette Cameo and the print and cut feature to cut out Jellybug and then a frame form the free files I got with it to mount her on, the little punched frame comes with it to!! I LOVE it!!!

And my glitter comes in the form of this delicious glitter card. I have had it in my stash for sooooooo long but never thought to use it until this challenge so huge thanks you's go to Vicky for that!!

Right got to dash! have a little Mo to sort. he was extremely brave again having his blood taken and the nurse said he was her star patient so that made his day!!

blue and yellow glitter card. 
sentiment- LOTV everyday grunge messages.

morning peeps!!!

squeeee!! not only is it a gorgeously sunny and delicious day here but there's a new Tiddly Inks image called Salty Kisses out too!!! isn't she just awesome?!!! 

Little poorly Mo and I had so much fun making this card yesterday, Mo helped with the waves!! we broke a costume jewelry pearls necklace up!!!  

I coloured her up with my promarkers and then made her a little wave scene to sit in!!  I dug through my little charms box and found a super cute starfish and tied it on with a squidge of twine.

Now my sentiment stamp I was sooooo happy with. I bought this set from LOTV on saturday when I was birthday day shopping and to be honest I didn't think it would stamp onto the yellow glitter card but it did an awesome job! so clear and crispy!! I was so excited about that!!!

I am popping her over on the Cupcake Craft Challenges Summer Scene challenge!

Right, I need to go apply magic cream to Little Mo's arms ready for his blood tests.....Yes, I know I did that yesterday....and we sat in the traffic for 30 mins to get to the Drs and .........his appointment wasn't yesterday..it was today!! romfl!!! so another prescription for magic cream was filled and we are going today!!! I am keeping him home again today too, he has coughed and coughed all night again and has little black rings under his eyes :(

I have my Weight Watchers weigh in so I am hoping I have lost some...though knowing my luck I would be the person who puts some on!! 

I'll be back in a bit with my Passion for Promarkers Dt post!! I even used my gorgeous new Silhouette cameo for it!! squeeeee!!!

Skating by with a christmassy giftbag!!!

stamp- Lil Lolita Sookie Skates.

Papers- Bo Bunny Snow Day.

Sentiment- Die-namics Gift Card Greeting 2 set.

London Fog memento ink.

Mini pom poms-white.

Enamel Dot.

Snowflake 2 charm.

Die- Namics Fishtail Flags layers Stax.

Morning peeps!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend! I came over all christmassy this week so I dug into my DT box and found my fav Bo Bunny papers and just let myself pootle along making a giftbag.

I coloured Sookie up with my promarkers and then had fun distressing and tearing all my layers before sticking them all onto the little gift bag I found on my craft desk when I tidied up on wednesday!!!

I stamped the sentiment using memento London Fog because its just a touch gentler than the black one which went so much better with the papers. the black one seemed to scream sentiment at me and it didn't look quite right with the delicious papers!!

Well, I had better get a move on. Mo needs his bloods doing again today so we are off to the Dr's before school. Magic cream was applied on both arms at 5am this morning whilst mopping up tears :( poor little pickle. Double whammy today as its back to school which he is totally not looking forward to and bloods too :(

I have a list of cards as long as my arm to get done after having a lazy birthday weekend so thats me for today!!!

Have an awesome day everyone!

Afternoon Peeps!!!
I have had the best weekend. Yesterday was my birthday and I had such a super day. Hubby took me to leeds to Ikea to get some more magnetic pots for my board, then onto the LOTV shop open day (squeeeee!! I loved it! I was like a bunny in the headlights with what to buy!! he he he he!!!) and my buddy Lou made me the cutest birthday cake ever! ( I hope she took a piccy of it because I ate the huge white choccy button on it before I took a photo and then ate the rest in the car on our way to skegness!!!!) and we ended the day by going over to skegness and fetching my Silhouette Cameo...squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! so it was a totally awesome day and I was so spoilt buy my gorgeous bestie too. And I got so many birthday wishes on my facebook I felt like I was floating on cloud 9 so thank you all for making my day xxxxx

So this afternoon I had a little crafty time and I wanted to join in with the DP2 Summertime challenge so bad! I had a Dad card to make (arghhhh man card!!!!)  and those men love fishing in the summertime so that's what I decided on using!! I found a teeny piccy of a coca cola bottle in a food magazine that came through the door so I cut it out and slid it through a slit I cut in the bucket so he is taking his summer drink with him!! 
There's glossy accents on the bottle and water but I am not so sure it shows in the photo...might have to click on it to see if it shows when I've published this post!! lol!!!

Right, I have more stuff to do now so I had better get a wriggle on before I zonk out! we went for a wonderful walk along the common this afternoon with Poppy so we are all flagging a bit now!!

Thank you for popping in on me! huge hugs Lou xxx
