Valerie in the snow..

digital- Valerie in winter 3 stamp set.

or Rubber- Valerie with Snowball.

Papers- Carta Bella Merry and Bright.

Morning all!

I am multi tasking this morning with some Mo Manning cuteness!! so links to the digital or rubber versions of this little Valerie with Snowball are just below the photo up there.

I love Valerie so I just had to put the last one of the image set into action (...Lou makes mental note to ask Maurie for some more Valerie's....!!!)

The papers are from my long stashed and only stroked but just had to be used for this one Carta Bella Merry and Bright 6x6 pad, the  little sentiment bit comes in it too, I loved the words so it just had to be used!! 

Last week was a bit pants :( we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous car (yes, it was old but had low mileage and I LOVED it) as I was involved in a small car crash and the insurers feel my car is a total loss :( they have picked it up to investigate but have already sent us a letter telling us they feel it is too much to repair :( 

I got a little knocked about and have had a really sore knee and neck but I am just very relieved that Mo was not in the car as I was just 1 minute away from his school when it happened. I hadn't really felt up to colouring until yesterday evening so I am pleased to be feeling a squidge more me now :)

Right, enough of my waffles!!Thank you for popping in

This pumpkin thing will be very much our thing this week as we get ready for halloween, I cannot wait! we bought our first 2 little ones yesterday ready for starting to decide what we are going to do with them this year! I have already managed to have a costume change from zombie school girl to Maleficent so I wonder what I'll actually make it to being this year!! lol!!

Dies- Die Namics Stitched mountain range.

Die Namics Blue Prints 9.

Morning everyone!

Its fab friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog so I get to share this cutie I have been working on this week!!

I decided to have a little fun with my yummy new Die Namics Stitched mountain range dies. They are just delicious! so I decided on making a little card that would stand up all by itself by getting out my Die Namics Blue Prints 9 to create a bit of a scene. Oh my, I had a tonne of fun with this!!

I fussy cut wyrn and popped her up on some foam to get her to pop from the card too, underneath I stamped her twice to create a little swoosh from the skating effect but you can't see it in this piccy...derr Lou!!!

A few glossy accents drops of snow and it was done! I love this kind of card, I am going to need to make some more now!! he he he!! it stands up all on its own and looks so cute!!

Rigth, I am off to enjoy the first day of the school holidays! we are still in our pj's and just chillin' but we are going to go out for a treat lunch.

Huge hugs for you all
