Morning everyone!

Did you all see the new Farm Background in the store? I was so excited when I saw it because I knew that Tom Sawyer would look kinda cute in a little merged scene with that barn!!

A few dies were needed to finish off my little scene with some 3D Lou poppage so I pinched a few of my favs off my die wall and got to work with some scrap pieces of card in my card box. Edge dies are sooooo cool for that!!

I am so grateful to mr blogger for scheduled blogging as I have been so poorly since friday night. I have managed to get myself bacterial Pharyngitis ( strep throat for my over the pond budettes) and I have honestly not felt so ill in a long time. The Dr was amazing though and started me off on antibiotics right away (..10 days worth at 2 tablets 4 times a day...they know I cant swallow right??!!!) so hopefully they will blitz the army of bacteria getting me and I will feel more human!!!

Thank you for popping in

Stamp- Hang In There clear stamp set.

Sentiment- Inkadinkado Friendly Advice.

Morning peeps!!

I do not mind admitting that I have had a bit of a week. I have felt a squidge down in the dumps with everything but this morning I have woken up feeling my normal chirpy self, phew!!

And last night I had 15 mins to myself to make a little CAS card. I don't often do really CAS but when I do I am reminded of how cute simple is. This is one of my favourite Tiddly Inks clear stamp sets, it just makes me smile whenever I see it.

A little splodge of autumnal colour and some autumny clouds and it was done. I stamped one of my super chirpy sentiment stamps on to go with how I felt nd the job was done!!

Right, got to go, a cuppa has my name on it, and we have another secondary school to visit while little Mo is at school today. He is very excited as he is having a little 'job interview' at school today. He is going for the job of Animal Welfare ( no surprise there then! he he he!!) and he is so excited because he has even asked our local RSPCA for a reference for the interview!!! what a cutie! and it is amazing!!!! I will take a piccy of it for you all and let you know if he got the job!!

Huge hugs for you all

#A Very Fairy Door.....

Image from A Very Fairy Door KickStarter project.

Morning all!! 

Its been a bit quiet on the Lou front this week as I attempt to schmooze back into school routine. I don't mind admitting I am finding it a squidge hard, way too quiet and kinda boring at home without Little Mo around but I am sure by next week I will be more into making bits and bobs!

So, today I needed me a lil magic!! something to cheer me up and it came right in the form of the awesome fairies that Krista has drawn for Kimberly and Carlie's awesome A Very Fairy Door project. Please quickly click on the video below to get a look at this uber exciting project.

So, my gorgeous lil fairy up there comes as part of many of the pledge packages available on the project and....WILL NOT EVER BE AVAILABLE IN THE SATURATED CANARY STORE. So if you want them in digi form you get 8 of these uber cuties for just $25! but make sure you click in on that link because there are so many ways to get some magic fairy into your days that are way too good to be missed!!

I went for a good old accordian card fold for my make using a tutorial that came through in my splitcoast stampers email yesterday, it was so cute I had to have a go at it but I wanted to add a little band to keep it closed too so that's all I added on. You can find the tutorial here. And here it is all closed up...

he he he! so cute!! I love it!!

Right, off for a quick cuppa and a facebook womble before I hit the ironing pile!!

Morning everyone!!

I hope you all had great weekends! I am in today to show you my latest DT make using the gorgeous I heart you stamp by Mo Manning for Stamping Bella. She is just too gorgeous and I love her!

I stamped her onto some white hammered card I had lying around on my craft desk because I wanted a bumpity look to her skin!! and oh my! she goes so well with those delicious MME papers..which is great..because one day I will learn to colour to my papers instead of colour up my image then rumfle around for 30 mins trying to find the right papers?!!! lo!!!!

Right, I am going to go and have a really quick shower to freshen up after work before the school run and have a cuppa!!

I decided to go a bit emo with one girl and a bit norm with the other. I love my little black eye make up for my emo one!! he he!! then it was just a case of splodge some papers on and go a little school feeling arrow paperclip.

I have been a bit out of sorts today because it was the little guys first day back at school. He had a fabulous day and even gold 2 gold stickers, which he is over the moon about. I am so proud as he was really excited to go back to school too. Mummy and Daddy however...mooched around the house not knowing what to do with themselves!! lol!!! I am so pleased Scott took the day off though as it was nice to have a little company when missing my little squidger!!
