Morning everyone!!

Its that Tiddly time of the week again where we rack in some fun with a wonderful new challenge!! This challenge our theme is....

Thinking of You..

so think makes with a 'thinking of you' theme encompassing them.

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image **)

I just had to grab some of my fave bits from my crafty pile to make this cutie (...all linkies under the card picture), and of course, one of the cutest lil fairies I know, Fairy Heartfelt from Tiddly inks.

She is just the cutest. She is retired in clear stamp format now but there are still a couple over in the Dies To Die For shop if you are a stamper.

Right, I am going to indulge in some Mo and Mamma time now. I absolutely adore half term and a very stressed and tired little Mo is doing so much better for a little break from the school routine I think.

I had the most wonderful last night shift at work on sunday. I am still very overwhelmed and blessed with all the lovely things my friends at work said to me about me leaving, its a very special thing to have those memories to hold onto and they got me the most wonderful gifts. I am so thankful. Leaving a job you like is very hard but at the minute I need my all for my little Mo and Scott and a sleepy. exhausted Lou just doesn't cut the mustard!! he he!!

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in

Morning Y'all!!

I'm being lassoed in with a post for you all today using that super cute new Little Sheriff.

Isn't he just the cutest?!! I just had to have a look around to find a making a lasso tutorial to finish off the card with something Lou and floofy!! he he! but it looks so sweet just floating around the card (...Mo seemed to think I should make him a big one but I have visions of spending half term with countless knocks to my body of a lasso being thrown at me in effort to catch me or being tied up on the settee!!!).

Right, off to bed for me. Last night shift done and I am hoping to actually sleep this morning as Scott is working from home today.

thank you so much for popping in Huge hugs Lou xxx

Morning all!

Its fab friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and its full of droolworthy yumminess!!

I have been busy catching up on ironing and bits ready for half term next week...its always nicer for Mo to play without the ironing mountain around!! he he!!!

Its half term break at 3:30pm today and I simply cannot wait. Mo is more than ready for a break and I just can't wait for some mummy and Mo time, its much needed at the minute as he is a bit unsettled and teary.

I really enjoyed some me time last night pootling away at this super sweet little mother's day card. Poppy Pixie is just so magical peeking out from her bouquet of flowers, I absolutely adore her!

Right, got to scoot! the school run awaits me!!!! he he!!

Huge hugs Lou xxxx

Puppy Love.......

Papers- Echo Park head Over Heels.

Hi everyone!

I'm in with a post for you today using one of the new little animal images that are in the Mo's Digital pencil store! oh they are so cute! I had to wrestle with myself to decided which one to colour up first!!

I went for a good old 'z' fold to add a little poperoo to this pup!! I coloured her up to match my mum's daxy, Scarlett, and the skirt is actually really pretty and glittery but I could only get that to show using my flash...

Awwwwww!! so cute! and here's a little bit of a dimension shot!! it feels so good to play with different folds sometimes! 

And that's me for today! I am just going to go and snuggle down in bed after work and try and get a couple of hours sleep. Since having this virus I've not been able to sleep after work and its making me feel quite poorly for a couple of days after doing just my one night, too much of a bodyshocker I'm afraid, so it's time for some re-evaulation of things. There's such a lot happening for little Mo this year that I need to have all my Lou-ness about me but I'm not sad about it, change is good and exciting and I have been extremely lucky to of worked with such a wonderful team for the past 3 years.

Huge hugs Lou xx

Stars in the Sky vertical Die namics.

Morning everyone!

I'm zooming in today with a couple of makes using those super cute 'Out of this world' stamps and dies from My Favorite Things new release. 

Having a little guy in the house I just couldn't resist this set (...which roughly translates at 'when the little guy was making his list of what we neeeeeeeeeeeeded from the new MFT release, these stamps and dies were right at the top!!!!!) but seriously, I couldn't wait to get stuck in as soon as they arrived on thursday.

The little stars in the sky die is just perfect for layering some fun into the background, I LOVE it! I matted up a yellow piece of cardstock so that when I cut the stars in the sky die, those yummy little yellow stars really stood out sooo cute!! plus you get a tonne of gorgeous mini stars to use as confetti on another make. I actually used a few to create a little starry bottom inside the card below.

Aren't they just soooo cute!!!! today I think I am going to delve into the sets a little more as its blur blur rainy pants here today so escaping this world for a galaxy far far away feels perfect!!! The little guy was an uber superstar and did all his homework last night when he got home from school so he gets to explore them too!! yey!!

Huge hugs for you all, thank you for zooming in.

Tiddly Inks challenge #175.....Love

Image- Ellie says Bye Bye.

Morning everyone!!!

Its time for a fantastic new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog. We are introducing a change this year.

It is so hard for us to justify why we are having a top 3 when they are all just stunning entries so we are saying goodbye to having a top 3 and replacing it with a fabby new prize fund of a $10 store code for the challenge winner!!! much better don't you think?!!

Now, onto this weeks challenge!! Valentines Day is fast approaching so our theme this time is....

LOVE

 so... think 

valentines day/ love for your children/family etc. anything loved up!!

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image **)

I went for the gorgeous Ellie says Bye Bye. She is prefect for sooo many occasions but I had a little song lyric in my head that I wanted to use for my sentiment! I merged her onto one of my favorite Tiddly Inks papers and then printed my sentiment out, cutting it with my Mama Elephant mini tags die. I love doing that!! its fab to use your own words with dies!!

Right, must dash! there is a cup of tea with my name on it and I need it today...actually...I need coffee and lots of it but I am starting on the calm stuff!! romfl!!!

Huge hugs Lou xx
