So we are having a little bit of fun over on the Dies to Die For inspiration blog and over on our Facebook page. You might like to join in because there will be a prize of a £10 for the shop for the winner!!!

oooh I hear you say!! what do we need to do to join in???!! well all you need to do is use your goodies from the Dies To Die For shop to alter a tin!!!

Yup!! just a common old sliced peaches tin...or any tin you like as long as it starts off looking as boring as this one I did!! he he he!!!

I keep all my tins, plomp them through a cycle in the dishwasher and then decorate away with a good old sheet of 12x12 double sided paper!! and there is always enough left over for die cutting some fru fru to add to your altered tin like butterflies, hearts, flowers etc. 

It really is so much fun. Now I am quick at it because I just splodge a whole load of anything at it but you can take your time because we are going to give you 2 weeks to join in the fun!! 

You have until sunday 27th October at 12am GMT to get your makes done and linked in to either the comments on this post or post them on our Facebook page to be in with the chance to win that £10 voucher for the shop.

Please remember to tell us what you used from the shop to qualify for the prize and to help others see which dies/ papers you used!!

I used some papers from the 12x12 random mix bundle I bought ( I tell you that pack is like christmas coming early!! I have had the most gorgeous papers in mine...some stroke only ones too of course!!!) and this one was one of them.

I absolutely love this little stamp, she is Stinker and I adore her!! she has the cutest little face!! I ripped a little tear in my paper and added a little piece behind with a stamped sentiment on and tucked some heart stems in behind it.

Here's a couple more piccies of the finished tin to get you all going....

We can't wait to see what you make!!!

thank you for popping in

Tonight's class is life skills ( which on code means oodles of fun with a small group of dogs in a super lovely doggy daycare centre with mummy getting all the directions wrong and walking round in the opposite direction to everyone else.....!!) but she LOVES it so that's all that counts!!!

...the missing one.....

ok...so I have to confess there was another picture in the tutorial photo's that I didn't include in my last post and one of my gorgeous friends noticed it right away....!! so it was this one above...all I can say is ladies....NEVER trust your husband to take tutorial photos because that guy is just gonna focus on on something else altogether.......  

oh and while I am on this track.....this is what happened last night....

..that moment when your 8 yr old shouts you and tells you to come quick because he has found clues...

.....OMG...are they?......

...sigh......yep they are!!!

so I hope you are all smiling right now because these guys are what I live with each day......!! but I wouldn't swap them for a thing!!!

Are you organised?!!!!

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a wonderful wednesday! I have had a wonderfully busy morning with my mummy!! we have started back at Weight Watchers and then popped in to a couple of charity shops for a womble ( love them, mum got me a pair of next boyfriend style jeans for £3!! bargain!!!!)

So today I wanted to share something a little different that I made with the yummy new Boys will be Boys download. Its a desk organiser for Mo. When I was little we used to make these all the time!!!!!

The pictures explain it all really so I wont waffle on too much for you!!! only to say a wet glue is best so you don't get bubbles in the paper and most importantly....have fun!!!!

and after all that icky sticky gluey fun you should end up with one of these.......

Thank you for popping in! huge hugs Lou xxx

Passion for promarkers challenge 219...Snow is falling...

stamp-Merry Christmas penguins from LOTV.

Papers- Bildmalarna Green christmas.

Morning peeps!!

Its time for another challenge over on the passion for promarkers challenge blog and today our challenge was set by Eileen and she chose...

Snow is Falling

and we are sponsored by the ever so swoonalicious Lili of the Valley...

So my uber cute little penguin dudes were coloured up using warm grey 3, 4, and 5. There little beaks and feet are sunflower and pastel yellow and their little cheeks are blush, sunkissed pink and coral. The sign is ivory pastel beige and khaki.

I made them some fluffy wuffy snow with my woodware fluffy stuff. I have had the same little bottle for 3 years now and it just last and lasts!! Then I decided I needed some tim holtz fir tattered fir cone in there too!!!!!! and I added a little bow in between the 2 cones.

I am going to pop this little band of cute guys over in the challenge on the LOTV ideas to inspire blog. Its anything goes this month so a little festive cheer will fit in there nicely!!

Right, I have been at work all night and it would be fair to say that I am utterly pooped out and very much looking forward to a day of sleep!! I am going to get Mo and his little budette Sophia off to school, have a little walk with my furball princess and then hit the hay!!!

Have an awesome day everyone!

Papers- MME playdate.

Dies- Die Namics 3x4 Notebook paper.

Afternoon peeps!

I am so late popping in here today but I have been poorly all morning :( I didn't even get out of bed until 10:40am which is not like me at all, I am a up and ready by 6am kinda chick so it sucks :(  I am at work tonight so I need to try and get myself better really.

I wanted to join in with the Daring Cardmakers 7 year birthday party challenges. Their picture inspiration for the first challenge of a month of fun is this gorgeous piccy here...

.....so I chose some gorgeous rainbow multi coloured papers from the stunning MME Playdate 6x6 paper pad. The little banners, flower  and 'smile' also come from the pad so I couldn't resist snipping them out and using them too!!

I stamped her onto a piece of cardstock that I had cut out with my Die namics notebook paper die, I LOVE this die!! there's another one in the shop with the edge down the shorter side too, that ones of my neeeeeeeed list!!!

She has some sparkle on her shoes and dress but I didn't get that in the photo too good. 

Right I am going to get me a cup of tea and a bit more rest so have a super rest of your sunday everyone!!

Thank you for popping in!

Morning everyone!!!!

I hope you are all waking up to super Saturdays!!! we are! We are taking Mo to my brothers cinema in town to watch The Neverending Story, its a complete classic and was one of my favs when I was a little girl so I am excited to go see it!! yes we have it on DVD at home but its just awesome to watch the classics on a big screen!!!

So today I have a make with one of my gorgeous friends, Alby, new digi stamp range. I absolutely adore them, they are just gorgeous and I really loved playing with this one. 

I have been a bit unwell the last few days so this card took longer coming together than I wanted it to but I finally got it finished!!!! I wanted some dimension with my wreaths so I cut a few (..on my new Ebosser...eeeep...its AMAZING!!!) and then layered them up with some silicone glue. I added my teeny little butteflies because I wanted it to look whimsical like the image.

I cut the bits for the base of the card using my Die namics Blueprints 6 die set. I was still in a dimension kinda mood so I only adhered each end of the border strip to my card and let the middle pop out. It is so hard to take a piccy of how neat it looks because I suck at taking piccy's but it looks so sweet!!!

Right, got to go, time for the cinema!!!
