Hiyah peeps!!
ok so this is going to be a little bit of a quicky post as I am just having my cuppa before I go off to work for the night but ooooooh I just had to share my excitement with you!!

I have been proper published in a crafty magazine!!! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Da Boss over at Funky Hand asked me if I could do a few cards for a magazine feature for the Complete Cardmaking with your PC magazine and naturally I said ooooh yes pleasey!! ( and then proceeded to panic at each card I made being good enough for a magazine!!!)

You can imagine how excited I was when it plopped through my door on saturday morning!! oh my!! there were 2 of my makes on the side of the front cover!! and then on the contents pages and even on the subscription page but the most exciting was these few pages below......

Mo was most impressed with this page and his baby photo!!!

I cannot tell you how much this has made me smile. Having awesome papers to play with made it all the more fun!! It is so lovely to see them in a magazine!!! I even got a little thank you note from Becky Higgins, the editor, saying 

'thank you for the cards for complete cardmaking, I loved them- the feature looks great'

how exciting is that?!! so I feel a little bit famous now!! lol!! love the thought of peeps flicking through that magazine with something of mine in it!

Right gots to go!! a night of filling up the shelves with stuff is calling me!!! he he he!!

Huge hugs and thank you for popping in on me

Hiyah everyone!! Happy Monday!!

I have a super cute little Toby to share with you today! isn't he just the most fabulous little guy?! I decided he had a whole tonne of sparkle in that bag so I got out the Teresa Collins Stationary Noted papers as they have some great sentiments in them (....and I had seen his one whilst I was stroking the papers last week!!!) it looks just perfect with him and its such a beautiful sheet of sentiments too. I was stuck between this one and one about fairytales!! 

I loved colouring this little guy up with my promarkers. I try to stick to just 3 colours when I am doodling away and the browns and blues are one of my fav colour combo's ever. This image uses-

browns- sandstone, cocoa, caramel and burnt sienna

blues- pastel blue,denim blue and midnight blue

skin- blush,sunkissed pink and coral.

I made the little banner bit on the corner using my Fishtail flags layers stax, its fabulous for those little scraps of paper! I love how they cut out and I have a thing for curling them up so they look like they are flying in the breeze!!

So this posty is all scheduled up and when it goes live I will still be at work! I am loving it!! I have 4 shifts this week so I will be soooo sleepy by wednesday but I don't mind one little bit,its so lovely to have a fab job again. I will be going to bed after dropping Mo off at school so I will be popping in on you all a bit later!! 

Thank you so much for popping in! Huge hugs Lou xx

A Giant Cake make!!

Afternoon Peeps!!

I thought my little blog looked a bit lonely today so i decided to post a little LOTV make!

I love this stamp, Giant Cake, its just sooooo sweet and it is perfect for a Grandma card too. I love it when I really enjoy pootling along making a crd, its just so relaxing. I even got my flowery corners right first time on this one which is a miracle as I normally get them all wrong and end up doing it a million times!!! its an 8x8 card so plenty of room to splodge out on bits to add too!!!

All my boys are outside playing at the minute and its awesome listening to Mo giggles while  Ryan and Scott are busy playing tennis with him!! that's the best kind of day ever for me. poppy is trying her best to nibble quietly on a fir cone and trying to hide the fact she is doing it from me by turning her back on me whenever I ask her what she has got, cheeky furball princess!! Tea is in the slow cooker so I can just relax a bit. I need to go have a snooze really as I am at work tonight so I might schoochy off up there now while they are all busy doing buy stuff!!!

thank you for popping in on me

Patches the Fairy.....

Afternoon Peeps!!!

I just wanted to pop in quick and let you all know that Patches the Fairy is now up for sale over on the Saturated canary shop :) I know some of you have been waiting on her and I didn't want you to miss her while she is on special offer!!

Please pop over and read krista's blog post to find your coupon to get her for half price. It was a hard and sad post for me to read but I am behind Krista 100%. I am on the DT for a lot of digital artists and have a sister and many dear friends who are sellers of them too and these issues are a constant struggle for them. 

so thats it for me for today. I have a poorly little man still, he managed a short time at his school fair but asked to come home. He was very sick last night but thankfully has not been sick again today so we have had a film day. We watched 'Oz the great and powerful@ this morning and 'Jack the giant slayer' this afternoon. He managed the fish from his tea but that was about it so its going to be an early snuggly night tonight bless him.

First Communion....

Cross from the silhouette store.

Afternoon peeps!

I am late popping into bloggy land today because I have had a chill out morning with my gorgeous hubby. We took a drive into town, had a drink and shared a steak paninni  at Starbucks and then came home. It was so lovely to have a mini date!

Then I needed to get to work on a couple of cards that just needed finishing off. This cutie was one of them.

I cut the cross and name on my silhouette!! oooh I love it!!!! that writing is so delicate but it cut it just fine!! I embossed the smaller cross with one of my docrafts embossing folders but I can't remember its name for toffee!!!

The little boy is all coloured up with my promarkers and I glazed his little beads but itys hard to see in the photo. I popped him up on some foam too so he just pops out from the cross.

Tomorrow is Mo's school fair so I am hoping the weather will stay dry, he so looks forward to the summer fair.

Right I am going to pootle off now as we are going to walk the furball princess before we get Mo from school so I had better get a wriggly on!!!

huge friday hugs and thank you's for popping in on me!!

Image- Princess Harvest from Saturated Canary.

Afternoon Peeps!!

Its time for a new challenge over on the Saturated Canary challenge blog and this week its...

Summer Fruits!!

so think an SC image with some fruit on it, Fruity papers or Fruity colours!!

I always enjoy a bit of Lou time craftying away with my SC's and this one is just adorable. I tried to colour her up with red indian skin and hair tones too. She is just gorgeous.

I made myself a little apple embelly with a red button and a punched green frond!! aww cute!!!

I am popping her over in the challenge at Simon say stamp which is also summer fruits!!!

I have worked three shifts of 10pm - 7am at my new job this week and I have really enjoyed. I am a little fluffy headed dopey today and I am sure I will catch up on sleeping in a big way tonight but I am just so happy because I really love my new job and it fits in so well with daubney life too as I get to do all the things with Mo that I love. I love dropping him off and being at the gate at hometime, sneaking to fetch him from sports club early so I can see him playing with his buddies and being able to go into school for special assemblies and sports days. I am blessed and I know it :)

So please pop over to the SC challenge blog and see what my gorgeous teamies came up for this one because they totally rocked it with some stunning creations.

Thank you so much for popping in on me

Passion for promarkers challenge 203...Floral Fantasy!!

Image- Black Floral set from DSB.

Morning peeps!!

its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog and this week its been chosen by our gorgeous Eileen and its....

Floral Fantasy

( use more than 5 flowers)

 We are sponsored by the gorgeous Sally Ann from Digi Stamp Boutique again today and she is offering 6 digi's to the lucky winner

I loved the black floral set from the shop so I printed one of the flowers out and then went to work with my coral, sunkissed pink and sandstone promarkers by dotting the colour on around the blooms. Then I went over the top of the dots with my blender pen and finished it off by adding glossy accents to the ends of the flowers.

I punched lots of teeny flowers and added them to the corner of the image mat, theres teeny little gems in the centers but they are so hard to see!!

Have an awesome day everyone! I will be sleeping for most of it after working from 10pm last night to 7am this morning!!!
