Naunet......

Image- Naunet.

Hi everyone!

I'm in for you today with my Dream Team post. I had 4 different new images all lined up on my desk this week but I totally couldn't choose which one so I took a step away from them (...there's always next week right?!!!) and printed out the gorgeous Naunet.

It just had to be a shaker card too since my fantastic friend Mandy has me hooked on them right now! so beach sand and teeny shells from the collection were added to the frame and then I splodged on the acetate card front. Job done and sooo pretty.

Right, I've bored your socks off enough for one morning!! off to get a cup of tea and a bit of breakfast, my tummy is rumbling like a hungry bears who just got out of hibernation!!

Huge hugs, thank you for popping in on me! Lou xx

I am a bit late with my post this morning because, well, it was that time in a woman's life when she has to go for a smear...Oh I do not like these things!!! but it's all over now so I can get right back to the cuteness that is  baby's stocking.

I had some paper piecing fun with this one on his little onesie and then it was a case of layers up some scrummy papers and splodge on some sweet wooden snowflakes and whoot whoot it's done!!!

Right, that's me for today. I need to pull up my big girl pants and get my brave face on for Little Mo's meeting at school tonight about his france trip next year! oh my! its a week long one and he's never been away that long but I think he will adore it.

Autumn Entrance.......

Images- Autumn Entrance Separated.

Morning everyone!

Autumn is definitely gaining full swing here in the UK. Fresh, dewy mornings and chilly days followed by darker nights drawing in.....which in Lou land means heating turned up a notch and thick snuggly socks applied along with good usage of hot wheaty bag!!!!

So with that in mind I just had to get the Autumn Entrance Separated image set. I love a good fun bit of merging with Mo's images to make my own little piece of art and this set is just so perfect for that. There are even more super elements that I didn't use in this little image. Take a look at the whole set....swoooon!!! 

Isn't it just delcious?!! I LOVE it!! 

Right, I need to get my butt in gear and face the day!! school run, paws to walk and 10,000 steps to get in!!! I also need to take a good old look at slimming world. So many of my friends are really seeing results following that plan so I think its time to kiss my WW goodbye and try something new! 

Thank you for popping in, Hugs Lou xxx

Liam in the leaves.........

Images- Liam in the leaves.

Watercolour background from Laura.

Morning all!!

I'm in with my Dream Team share for you today and I had to have a play with the fabulous new Liam in the leaves. I do love a boy image and this one is just the cutest because autumn leaves is one of my little guys favourite things to crunch around in!

We still have a lot of sun here so the Watercolour background from the Laura image was just what I needed to merge Liam onto, then I merged the gorgeous sentiment that comes with him over the top. Huge thanks to Maurie for .png files, I do so adore them!!!

Today I feel kinda guilty!! we are dropping our new bunny off to be neutered!! I'm sorry Marvin but those boy bits have got to go!! lol!! but in all seriousness, its so much kinder to do so because it helps them to feel so much more settled without the urges a growing bunny boy has!! thought to be fair, he has been very calm and he and Kate adore each other which is wonderful because I so didn't want Kate to be alone now the days and nights are getting cooler, she needs somebunny to hug!!

Thank you for popping in, Hugs Lou xx

Sentiment- MFT Frightfully Fun Halloween.

It's time for another fun challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and of course it's about time we gave you free reign with those awesome images again so this time it's a good old....

Anything Goes!!

 So get your fave Tiddly images/stamps and make anything you like!!

 (**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 decided to use Monstrous Party and a really fun die set,  YNS Peek a Boo Poppers, to make them look like they are bursting through the page!! too cute!

Ok, I'm away to get ready for today. We are still very out of sorts here after the unexpected and sudden passing of our gorgeous bunny, Prince William. We are distraught as he was just such an amazing rabbit and we are giving his partner Princess Kate lots of extra love and attention until we can bond her with another bunny as soon as possible. It will be another rescue bunny so hopefully it will happen really soon. The bond between her and William really was magical so I hope she is just as happy to find another friend.

RIP Prince William.

Mo has been distraught bless him but I am hoping his school day will keep his mind busy today. We had a beautiful funeral last night and he wrote such lovely messages on the 'coffin'.

Thank you for popping in,

Rocket Chair.

Image- Rocket Chair.

Morning everyone.

For my make today I was determined to colour up an image I have never tried from the store and whilst peeking through the pages I saw this Rocket Chair image and he just made my day so of course it had to be him.

Our weekend included so much fun with Mo but also time spent watching the Paralympics and the movie, The Martian, so it seemed right to listen to what my heart said when I saw this little guy in the store. He just seemed so inspiring and I could wait to colour him up.

Today I am working on shaking myself out of the worrying mummy slumpy I seem to be in! Secondary school seems such a big thing to me still but luckily my Little Mo seems to be taking it all in his stride so its time for mummy to pull up the big girl pants and sort myself into a good routine to stop me worrying so much!

Thank you for popping in

Tiddly Inks Wryn Berry Sweet clear stamp set......

Stamp- Wryn Berry Sweet.

Morning all!!

It's time  for Fab Friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and ooooh did the Tiddly Inkers make such cute things this week!! I do so love to see what the team have made on fab friday because the variation in styles is just delicious.

I have very much been in the mood for making something other than cards the last couple of days so out came my thin letraset paper, my trusty stampin up paper snips for fussy cutting and my gorgeous Wryn Berry Sweet clear stamp set and of course, my trusty Modge Podge!!

Scott cut me these slices of wood last year when my mum cut a tree down and they are so lovely to just make little hangers with so thats what I went for.

Here's a closer piccy of wryn...sigh...she's just so sweet.

I so have that warm and cosy friday feeling today. So far Mo has had another lovely week at school and gained a couple of gold cards in geography ( a firm new favourite lesson along with spanish) and Scott and I get some us time on a friday whilst Mo is at school which I always look forward to. We don't do anything much but its just so lovely to have some time to just be together.

Right, must dash as I need to get dressed still!!! Thank you for popping in , Hugs Lou xxx
