Hi everyone!!

Its Tiddly Tuesday!! whoop whoop!! and that means a couple of new images in the shop!!! squeeee!! this one is Wedding Bella.

Now...I have a small confession. Christy sent them, I fell in love with them but thought...I am never going to be able to colour that nice enough!!! but oh my oh my!! once I had printed it out and started colouring it I got the full on love mush head Lou thang going on!! I wanted to call Scott home from work right away just to hold him for a while and had to put on our 'us' songs spotify album!!! lol!!! see what happens when an image just takes you!!! 

But isn't it just gorgeous??? I am colouring another one now so I might be back later but no promises there as I am pooped out today! no sleeping after the night shift on sunday due to bank holiday boys of the house being home means it has caught up with me today even more and I feel like a week old zombie chick!!! 

Thank you for popping in

Happy Birthday Hoppy Poppy ....

Stamp- Stamping Bella Happy Birthday Hoppy Poppy.

Papers- MME Record it Here is Happy.

Hi everyone!

I am hopping in with a share for you today using one of the gorgeous new releases from Stamping Bella. I absolutely adore these little Hoppy Poppy's!!! (...there will be a small break in this post whilst Lou goes to order another couple........)

Ok!! I'm back!!! lol!!!...ordered 2..go to make the most of the bank holiday sale at Dies to Die For!! lol!!.....may have to go back for more!!!!!

Isn't she just the cutest?! coloured up with my promarkers and a few splodges of white gel paint and she was done. ooooh I do love her!!!!!!she's sooooo cute!!!!!!!!

And little Mo is doing rather awesome with his Just Giving page too!!! just peekle at how much he has raised so far!!!! he is so excited about it bless him, worried about the actual ride but very excited about his fundraising. When he had raised £233 , he asked me to ask our local branch how his pennies have helped so far and this is what they said..

"already we can afford to get one dog ready for rehoming. Neutering vaccinating and chipping or we can pay for a dog to be kennelled for 2 months. Or for a months supply of cat food"

So....just imagine what else they can do with this amount....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! we are so very proud of him! he has smashed his last 2 years charity events totals already! if you have donated to Mo's page, huge huge huge thanks. I cannot tell you how much it has meant to him.

Right, dinner to cook!! Thank you for popping in

Mom.....

Its my turn today to share another make for V Funky month over on the Get Funky and Craft blog using the V Funky original CD ROM. This CD is an absolute delight...I have told Da Boss £1 is crazy for it but she's not listening!!!

Todays card just had to be a mom make with the 'Cottage Linens' colourway, I love that lady cards and men's cards can both rock this colourway!

There are 15 stunning colourways to choose from on this CD, fabulous for all occasions and extras such a toppers,I used the 'Mom' topper and one of the ATC cards I had left over from yesterday, which I popped out on some foam for some depth in my card.I also used some of the gorgeous bakers twine Anice had in the shop for a while, its all out of stock now but it matched this card so perfectly so I just had to use some of mine!

Also, all the original CD ROM's are available on the Funky Hand website for just £1.00 each.  You can't go wrong with them really!

Well, I am going to soak up some more rainy sunday! Mo is busy watching a Spy Kids movie and Scott is pootling in and out taking the tools out from doing the bathroom!!

Dragon Hugs...

Image-  Dragon Hugs from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Papers- First Edition Animal Antics.

Hi everyone!

I know I know! 2 makes in one day but hey!! thats the way I roll!! he he he!! and this one is way too special not to pop on today!!

It is of course for my gorgeous little man. I am so proud of how he pootles on in his little world and his Little Mo's Big Bike Ride page is raising so many pennies for our local RSPCA branch that I felt he needed a super special card just for him and he LOVES this Dragon Hugs image.

Here's today's little update on his page...eeeeep!!!

I made the little sentiment up just for Mo too. He has so many struggles with his autism but he has been so amazing at just embracing them and working through them in his little Mo way that he makes me burst with pride! Scott and I have always just let him run with it and he is so happy at home, the school he has been in for 1 1/2 years now have been just amazing so he is managing the school day so much better, which of course makes him happier all round. He is still at least a good year or more behind in learning skills and a lot more behind socially but he is the best little guy. The funny thing is, he is waaaaaaaay ahead in reading!! but we adore that!!Sorry for mamma mush but he is awesome!!!

Right, got to go! last coat of paint for Mo's bathroom is calling me!! he he he!!

Hush Little Bunny...

Stamp- Gorjuss Hush Little Bunny.

Papers- Maja Design Nyhavn - Sitting at the Dock.

Die- La La Land Heart Doily.

Morning everyone!!!

I hope you are all waking up to fabbalicious fridays! I am!! I have a little teeny bit of tiling to do in Little Mo's bathroom and then I can paint it so it should be finished this weekend!! wohoooo! it's looking so lovely.

Yesterday I got my MISTI and I had t give it a whirl!!! and after waffling with my budette AlyceI just had to get my new Gorjuss stamp out of it's box and ink it up!!! Now..I have to be honest because you all know how I craft..I am a splodger...so I popped her on my MISTI and splodged some ink on then excitedly pressed her onto my paper, lifted it up and oh man!! totally forgot her feet!! lol! her little toes were not there at all! poor gorjuss! so I had a lil panic and then remebered I had a MISTI now so I could jut pop some ink on the bit I missed and re stamp (..I was worried about this, I suck at re stamping like a leech to blood!!) so i held my breath and just went for it and omg!! it didn't even smudge a teensy bit out of place!! so cool!!!!!

And lining up my sentiment for the heart cut was sooo easy too (...yeah...I normally get that bit of to one side or too high or too low!!!) but with my MISTI I could just squoosh it to where I wanted it, holding my heart still with the little magnet!! awesome sauce!!!!

OOOOOH!! and a teensy update on Little Mo's Big Bike Ride..... £211.31 !!!!! you should hear the little mini man whoops and squee's!! he is just finding this so exciting!!

Anywhoo! that's me for today!! Tiling and painting is calling me!!! 

Just keep swimming!!

Morning peeps!!

Its a lovely sunny day here today so I am going t share this super summery new release from Tiddly Inks! she's so cute!! I went all out bubbly for this one and even added a few little liquid pearl bubbles to come out from her snorkel!! the little sentiment that goes with her so well is from the Floating By clear stamp set.

So I am really excited and proud today too. After a couple of weeks deciding on his charity for this year, Little Mo has decided to help our local RSPCA branch out. I love this little guy!! He has his own little donations page over on just giving, called Little Mo's Big Bike Ride. He has been so excited about the donations he has so far bless him! 

He is going to bike all the way to school ( which is 9.2 miles away!!)  Here's his map. He has printed it out so he can stick it on his handle bars!!

And there is a rather large hill he is a bit worried about but Scott has bought him a little bike computer so he can focus on breaking his speed record instead of panicking (....errr...hopefully!!) If you get a little minute please pop in on his page and read his little story, its so Mo, he wrote it himself!!

right, I had better get on with getting ready for school. Scott is having something picked up today so I will be stuck on parcel collection watch, the time slot they gave is poo!!!!!

Thank you for popping in
