Morning everyone!

I am so sorry I am on a go slow today because its a case of 1 finger typing after being my normal dopey Lou self and damaging the soft tissues in my wrist..though I should be very grateful as the Dr in A&E was amazed it wasn't broken with all the swelling there was! so I escaped a cast and have to completely rest it for 2 days with ice packs (..ok so am cheating there and applying kool strips instead as I don't do the whole wet and cold thing....!!) so no driving,furry peeps walking or lifting with it allowed,just little rolls and movements to stop stiffness and a lovely cocktail of paracetemol and ibuprofen every 4 hours!! I must add however that its not all bad as gorgeous hubby is working from home for the 2 days  I have to rest it!!

Its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog and this week’s challenge which has been set by our gorgeous Lou and she has set us a delicous theme of..

yummy food and drink  

so,think all your images including some form of food or drink.  Don’t forget, as always, to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers).

I just had to use Cupcake Thief. I adore her and she has the yummiest looking cakes I have ever seen!!! she is just fab for birthdays so I coloured her up and cut around her to pop her in this little pop up box scene...

Morning everyone! Lou here with a little bit of a different share again!!

I quite often like to give myself a bit of a challenge and this weekend challenge was no colouring!! ooooh it was hard not to go grab a stamp of a cutie peep of some sort but it was soo much fun!

I grabbed a couple of my fav dies and just went for it!! I love how it turned out and the little floaty butterflies all over it gave me such a summer buzz!  I love a card that pops out at you.

I added a bold bit of black stamping to make the sentiment and its banner really stand out at the front.

Thank you for popping in! I will still be at work when this posts and then off to bed as soon as I get on at 7:10am but I will be up after a few hours sleep!!

I was in a card with 'pop' mood so I went for the fabulous Cheery Lynn step card die, its fabulous because it cuts and scores everything you need to do the card, including the matting! 

I printed georgie out and gave her a splodge of colour with my promarkers and then popped her on the card, adding some Die-namics Grassy edges over her feet to make a little scene.

Right, I have to get myself moving! I have a furball princess sat at my feet who wants her meat and a little man sat watching Lord of the Rings who should maybe be getting ready for school instead...!! he he he he!!!!

I had an anniversary card to make for my mum and dad so it was time to get my lovey dovey smoosh on!!!!

I was trying something new for me with this one, using lots of white. I keep drooling over my friend Nic's cards when she does it, they are just amazing so I thought I would have a go too!

The scalloped oval dies were just the right size to make a big rocker style card so rthats what I went for! i have never used them before so there was quite a bit of errrrrr, what shall I do with those before i got started but then after cutting the card base out therest of the card just rolled out! I love the way it layers up so beautifully with the white and just a splash of colour.

Then I added a few more die cuts and wohooo! it was done!!

Digi layout fun....

Papers- Memories in Sepia from Funky Hand.

Afternoon peeps!

I am late popping in today with a couple of pages that I made digitally! I have a digi layout up above and also my digi project life page below.

I used the super gorgeous new Memories in Sepia download from Funky Hand to do them, its just gorgeous..

I do love to have a good old digital play around because it is so easy and satisfying. it is often way too easy to forget that you can use digital papers in this way and print them out for making cards with!!!

This set of papers was just perfect for the only holiday Scott and I have ever had along without little peeps or furry peeps!! we had 2 days in paris and it was wonderful, we did so much walking I thought my feet might drop off but I so enjoyed every single minute! 

Right, got to go, I need to slice some chicken for tea, stir fry tonight, yum!!

Morning everyone!!

I thought I would share another super cute image from Christy Croll's new release in the Tiddly Inks shop this week! I am just so in love with them!!

I decided to go for a little 3D project again and make a little treat box with an easel card attached. I love a little bit of pop!

Here it is all opened up...

I added a little flower to the front of the draw and popped the twine through it to make a drawer pull. I can't wait to pop something in there for someone! its so sweet.

This is what it looks like closed. It refused to squish down without a finger prod for me to take a picture!! lol!!!

Right, I am off for a cuppa and quick clean up of my table before the school run!

Thank you for popping in

Little Fawn.....

Image- Little Fawn.

Morning everyone!!

I hope you are all well and having a wonderful week. I decided to colour up my gorgeous Little Fawn from Saturated Canary yesterday. I was a bit excited about her because she is just so whimsical, I love those little twiggy antlers.

I decided to go kinda mossy with her hair as I decided she was a child of nature!! she actually has a bit of sparkle....

Isn''t she just the cutest?! I made some dotty evening cloudy sky. I really like that! it was a bit of an experiment but I LOVE how it turned out.

So I can't be the only mamma who is missing their mini peep this week now school is back in action?!! I have been kind of wombling around the house (trying to restore order under the piles of half term toys left around...like  everywhere!!!!) but the sad truth is I just LOVE having holiday time with my little guy. He rocks my world! but do you know what the best thing is?! he actually wants to go back to school now! daft as it sounds that is just so amazingly special for a mummy who has had so many years of sobbing and desperation from him not to go at the old school. I feel like I am in an uber calm bubble with his schooling now he is so happy at the school he has been at since november,its just wonderful!!

Right, time to feed my furball princess! she is kinda staring at me from where she is sat next to me because she knows its breakfast time!!!

Morning everyone!!

I am so excited to share another one of the new releases from Christy over in the Tiddly Inks store, they are just the most awesome release!! can you tell I am totally taken by them?!!! they are just magical!!

I used some EXTREMELY stroke only papers for this one!! aren't they just beautiful?! and for a little bit of magical umpf I added some little beads to some of the flowers. It was fiddly but they look soooo pretty. I attached them with glossy accents and then splodged a little glossy accents over the top for good measure!!!

Have an awesome day everyone!
