Teacher Thanks....

Its my turn to post over on the Get Funky and craft blog today to share another make for V Funky month using the V Funky original CD ROM. 

Todays card just had to be a mom make with the 'Boho Chic' colourway,it just got that mix of blues and browns that I love with a pop of burgundy and mossy greens to jazz it up.

There are 15 stunning colourways to choose from on this CD, fabulous for all occasions and extras such a toppers,I used the 'Mom' topper and one of the ATC cards I had left over from yesterday, which I popped out on some foam for some depth in my card.I also used some of the gorgeous bakers twine Anice had in the shop for a while, its all out of stock now but it matched this card so perfectly so I just had to use some of mine!

please pop in to the V Funky CD ROM page in the shop and check out the gallery of makes the DT have in there already.

Also, all the original CD ROM's are available on the Funky Hand website for just £1.00 each.  You can't go wrong with them really!

Our new challenge, which has been set by our Lou from and she has chosen to give you a gorgeous colour challenge to follow (...ok...so I type gorgeous but what it actually was for me was scream, cry and run around the house for 20 mins when I read it on the DT rota because PURPLE???? argghhhhhhhh!!!

Papers- Pebbles Yours Truly.

Morning all!!

I am nestling in with my fab friday Tiddly Inkers post this morning. I am a bit late because Scott and I have indulged ourselves in some together time! he has just popped out to get us lunch so I thought I would sneak into bloggyland quick!! he he he!!

I decided to colour up the stunning new Foxy Mama image. I just absolutely adore everything Christy is bringing out at the minute and want to colour all day but this one, awwwww it just spoke to me yesterday. I love how soft and gentle the mama fox looks with those 2 cheeky lil babies peeking round her! and the little fox head in the sentiment that comes with them is just magic too.

Well, I have kitchen cupboards to sort out as we are having our new boiler fitted tomorrow...what? no more steam train sounding. mashoosive banging and whistling  boiler you say?!!! I know!! oh my !! I can't wait!!!and I think it will be amazing for little mo too as its right below his bedroom and it is soooo loud that occasionally it scares him.

Have a fantabulously fantastic friday everyone!!

Die- Dienamics Layered heart border.

Morning all!!

How are we all today? I am not ashamed to admit I woke up with the sad feeling :( so I needed to kick it to the dust with some Mo snuggles (...they were good, we watched Parent trap, giggled and ate breakfast) , a good walk with tys (..also good, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, big fields, no people!!) and then home to do some crafting.

Simple things but they fix a Lou so worth doing! anywhoo! the image I decided to print out and play with just had to be the new  Baker from Saturated Canary. She's so cute! it was a case of print, splodge the colour on, simple card base with yummy papers and job done but I love how she came out!!

Die- Dienamics Layered heart border.

Afternoon peeps!

Its been a bit of a blurgh weather morning here so I gathered up my hot wheaty bag, turned my little desk lamp on and got busy with the stunning new Love you Mostest from Tiddly Inks.

I can't actually put into words how much I have enjoyed these 2 new ones by Christy. they are just magical...and Scott will probably get them both by the end of this week because they really do make me just want to snuggle up with him! I am such a dafty!! lol!! but he is rather awesome so I let myself off!! he he he!!

I coloured up my wedding couple and then gave them a good sprinkle of frantage! love this stuff! have just one pot but its gorgeous!! note to self....need more!!!

The little spray of hearts is just the little hearts that came out of the die centres, they were too good to waste so with the help of my little glue gun they got plomped around my card!!! they look so sweet IRL but Ican never get photo's of the cuteness right!!

Right, off to iron for a bit now!! have a wonderful afternoon everyone
